Best Camera Backpack For Safari

This case is very well built and you can't go wrong with this one.Best thing I did to get away from backpack camera bag and into case

Best backpack I have ever bought. If you commute you have to have this.

We got 2 of these to transport our video gear around and they're holding up perfectly! Best upgrade from our old camera backpack.

I bought this to take a mirrorless DSLR and lens on safari n my carryon Peak backpack…the setup of my dreams!

If you want a bomber backpack that looks safari cool without trying this is the one! I get so many compliments on this pack. I love rolling up a blanket and strapping it in the overhead flap. It is perfect for your every adventure and I have now had a pair of sunglasses for over a month that I have not broken. Love it!

I researched countless telephoto lenses to take on a photo safari in Namibia. Space in my backpack was very limited. Shooting with it I managed to get what I never thought possible. Most full extensions remained in clear focus (stabilized and auto focused). Post production has proved easier than I thought. Mounted to a Canon R5 it worked well in cramped quarters and and setup rapidly. Impressive lens!

I love this photo backpack. I first used mine on a 2 week Photo Safari in Kenya and Tanzania and carried a Fuji X-T1 with 100-400mm lens attached plus several other Fuji lenses and a Fuji X-Pro1 body and extra batteries and necessities. It also had a zippered space for an iPad Pro, and on the exterior a Sirui Carbon Fiber tripod which slips into a sleeve at the bottom of the pack. It is made of a rugged canvas and is very sturdy and has large and small compartments perfect for stowing everything. I continue to use it whenever I travel with my cameras. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Best designed backpack I have ever had. Absolutely love it.

Camera worked like it should for the safari trip! VERY satisfied!

Best bag I’ve owned (and like many of you, I’ve had more camera bags than I can count). Tried quite a few messenger bags before (included latest and expensive PD), was never happy. Settled with Retrospective 7 now and took the opportunity of giving away and/or selling my other bags. I’m just keeping my also awesome Lowepro Pro Tactic backpack for occasions that backpack is more suitable. But most cases the Retrospective 7 is my go-to bag for a combination (not always at the same time) of 5D3 (with RRS L bracket always installed), 24L, 85L f/1.4, 135L, 70-200L f/4 II, 580EX II flash, filter case, TC-80N3 shutter release controller, extra battery, cards, etc. I can even wrap my RRS TFC-14 & BH-30 rig on top of it (although not ideal) with some make-shift straps I did just so I can be hands-free for a while…I highly recommend this bag for the look, quality, design, attention to detail & functionality.
