Outdoor photography is magical—but also demanding. Long hikes, changing weather, uneven terrain… and the constant need to protect your gear while keeping yourself comfortable. The right camera backpack can make the difference between an enjoyable shoot and a draining one. So how do you choose?
Start with your trip length and how much gear you plan to bring.

For 1–2 Day Trips: Go for 25L

Perfect for carrying one camera, 1–2 lenses, and a drone.
We recommend the Pocket Ranger Backpack and Pocket Ranger Elite Backpack.

Pocket Ranger Backpack (25L, expandable to 33L)

This is the go-to pack for lightweight yet spacious outdoor shooting.

• 20% lighter overall, the weight savings feel like removing a full-frame camera from your load—instantly making your carry more enjoyable.

• Expandable capacity: 25L → 33L (and 35L → 43L for the larger model).

• Convertible camera insert:

  • Medium mode: 1 body + 1 lens + drone (fits a 70–200mm attached).

  • Large mode: 1 body + 3 lenses + drone (fits a 60–600mm attached).

• 8cm cloud-soft shoulder straps, a lightweight support frame, and a wide padded waist belt reduce muscle fatigue and keep your shoulders relaxed.

• 3-level back adjustment, shifting the load in one second for better balance.

• Water-resistant and dirt-resistant fabric, ready for light rain and messy trails.

Reliable, comfortable, and adaptable—perfect for weekend hikes and short outdoor shoots.

Pocket Ranger Elite (25L, only 1kg)

For photographers who want maximum freedom with minimum weight.

• 50% lighter than traditional photo backpacks, weighing just 1kg. The shoulder-waist-back support system disperses weight smoothly so you feel like you're carrying less than you actually are.

• Elastic support frame that flexes with your movement, keeping the pack stable on climbs and descents.

• S-shaped shoulder straps eliminate pressure points and reduce fatigue.

• Four-way access—top, both sides, and rear—giving you fast access from any position.

• C-shaped shock-absorbing insert with 8mm EVA padding, holding 1 camera + 2 lenses + a drone safely.

Ideal for fast-paced outdoor shooting and long days of walking.

For 3–5 Day Trips: Choose 35L (Expandable to 43L)

More days mean more gear, clothing, batteries, food, and support equipment.

For multi-camera setups: Choose the Pocket Ranger Backpack (35L)

Holds:

• 1–2 camera bodies

• 3–4 lenses

• A drone, tripod, and multi-day essentials
  With the expanded 43L capacity, it’s built for longer hikes and heavier kits.

For 1 camera + 2–3 lenses: Go with Pocket Ranger Elite

You still get the ultra-light, body-hugging carry system—ideal for long distances and varied terrain.

Whether you're heading out for a quick day trip or a 5-day adventure, the Pocket Ranger series gives outdoor photographers the comfort, lightness, and flexibility they need to stay focused on the real goal: capturing the beauty of the wild.
