Mission Workshop Integer Camera Backpack

I’m absolutely in love with this backpack! I recently went on a photography workshop and everyone was impressed with my bag. I was having an issue when hiking to either wear a camera backpack or my hiking backpack. This bag is a wonderful combination. I have space for my hiking gear, a water bladder, and my camera gear. The quality and forethought that went into this bag is amazing. I’m still finding little compartments to use. Definitely a must for someone who loves the adventure of hiking and photography.

The mission, in this case, is carrying a drone and its paraphernalia on some serious trails through wild forest. I researched for months before buying this backpack, and it's almost perfect. In fact, I'm going to say that it's as perfect as a backpack that wasn't custom-designed for the drone can get. My number one requirement was that the backpack be a good backpack, meaning suitable for serious hiking. Most drone backpacks are more designed for kids taking the drone to the playground to see how many flips they can do. That's not my mission. I needed something built for serious hiking. In that regard, this backpack is excellent. The shoulder straps are well-padded, the waist strap is wide and very well-padded, and there is a chest strap. I never use chest straps, but some people swear by them, so I thought I'd mention it. There are enough separate compartments that I was able, after some thought, to fit my Autel EVO II Pro 6K, five extra batteries, the Smart Controller, the charger and hub, and all the other doodads; as well as have room for enough clothing and food for an overnight, if need be. I would have liked more dividers, but eventually I made what were supplied work. There are a lot of small pockets whose purposes I don't know. They must be for gadgets that younger people use. There's also what appears to be a wire for a USB charging block. Not something I need, but I suppose useful for some. There are handles all around the backpack, so it's easy to pick up in any position. It looks like it would fit in an overhead storage bin in an airliner (although I haven't tried it). There is a laptop storage pocket. The outer pockets have a bit of padding to protect your gear, but I don't think I'd put something like a tablet or a controller in them facing screen-out. Like I said, I wanted a good backpack first and foremost, and this one fits the bill. It's not perfect for my mission, but it's as close as I've found.

I used this backpack during a photo workshop for 4 days. I had 2 cameras with lenses and an additional lens and filters in it. Never set the pack in the mud. Kept the pack on for 3 hours while shooting. It fit so good I never got tired of having it on my back. I also had rain gear and other items in the other section. This is a great pack for hiking with multiple camera bodies and lenses and having room for clothes and food. It also easily carries a tripod. Well made too.

Just works. Mission accomplished.

For the mission, these work well for all my lenses and sensitive surfaces.

I have been on a mission for a camera bag that would suit my style of shooting, and must have physically looked at most of the bags made in this size. I carry one body and one lens on most of my forays and I use a Olympus OM-D Mk lll with the 12-100 f4 Pro lens. It fits perfectly in that case with room to spare, so it goes in and comes out without hanging up. The bag is made of a heavy cotton material which should last a lifetime. The front flap has extra sticky Velcro so it will stay shut and a strap down the front for extra security when needed. There is a surprisingly roomy pouch in front with a great zipper that opens easily without the usual hanging up. Because of the cotton construction, when it breaks in, it will kind of conform to you hip so it won't flop around. If that weren't enough, it's a really good looking bag & made in the USA.

Excellent cover build quality is second to none. It is a bit of a mission to get the cover on the camera so be aware you won't be able to quickly chuck it on your FS5 if it starts to rain all of a sudden like it does over here in Auckland. Never the less minor issue excellent product highly recommend, have one for my URSA mini 4.6k.

Works Great! I use this for my workshop and trailer.

This is my second one. I keep one at work and this one travels from the workshop to the boat.

Easy to use and is very well made. I would recommend it to my workshop participants.
