Hidden Cameras For Backpacks

I keep the stash hidden in there!

Much of the photo/video backpacks out there fit into two categories: light hiking backpacks with protective features for gear, and urban messenger bags with dividers for small cameras and lenses. But what about professionals who want to safely carry large gear around town, but not necessarily on a safari excursion? This is where this bag shines. It's big enough to carry video cameras such as the Sony FS7 or Canon Cinema cameras, plus lenses and other accessories, along with a tripod, monopod, or light stands on the side. The dividers inside are customizable, and the bag opens up from the top, which allows you to set the bag down and access all of your gear conveniently. The bag has a semi-rigid shell all around for protection, and the padded backside and straps makes it a very comfortable carry for long periods of time. I've carried around an assembled C100 with 4-5 lenses, interview audio kit, an LED light (in the large front pocket) and a light stand, plus batteries and chargers and everything needed for an all-day documentary shoot. The only potential downside is that the semi-rigid shell makes this backpack firmly maintain its big size no matter what you put in it, so it could be overkill when you only need to carry small gear. But there are tons of other messenger-style bags for those days. For the times when you need to carry large gear around town, on your back rather in suitcases, the Campack is perfect.

I use the anchor system on all my cameras and a few of my bags/backpacks to hold straps and coffee mugs etc. they've worked in most circumstances although a different length of cable/string would also be beneficial in a few cases.

I've owned two Keyholes for a couple of years and had them attached to our backpacks. They holds our cameras safe & stable when hiking over rough terrain. Been looking for a harness for those shorts hikes where I didn't want to wear a heavy backpack. This was the ideal solution. Highly recommended.

a guy next to me while everyone was on their bellies with cameras on backpacks or towels and his camera was on this Edelkrone camera stand. I took a stealth pic of his gear and then went online to purchase one. LOL. I put my camera on it and had one leg extended that I held while shooting a sporting event. Pleasantly surprised at how steady I was and the thing was not even on the ground. Needless to say I really like it and look forward to taking out when I go shoot weasels and other little ground animals.

I have lugged around my full-size cameras and lenses with backpacks that, after a while, left me exhausted and strained.� This is the perfect marraige of choice of backpack (when climbing) and roll-on (when at airport).

I've tried out or researched a long of side-access slings and backpacks, and almost none have a wide enough opening to access two cameras with attached lenses. The Solstice 10L has room for two mirrorless cameras with moderate-size zoom lenses side by side, with room for an additional lens, all equally accessible. Beyond that it's nicely minimalist and very light.

Can be used hidden under cloths with less distortion than any other microphones.

Great for getting hidden lavs on quickly.

I've been looking at backpacks for 6 months and never seem to find the best one for my needs but this one is it!
