Category: Backpacks

The Advanced Active III 13L splits its interior roughly 40% camera gear to 60%
personal items, so it works as a single bag for a day out rather than a dedicated
camera bag you carry alongside something else. Third-generation M-Guard dividers
in high-density EVA foam handle shock absorption.

What it holds

  • Camera compartment 9.4 × 5.5 × 4.3″, adjustable for a DSLR or mirrorless with three lenses, or a small drone with accessories.
  • Lower section for clothing, snacks or supplies.
  • Tech compartment for a 14″ laptop and 9.7″ tablet.
  • Exterior pocket with an organizer panel.
  • Side pockets for a compact tripod and a water bottle.

Access and build

  • Front access to the camera compartment, with separate top access for personal items so you don’t disturb your gear.
  • Wear-resistant polyester nylon with a water-resistant treatment, plus a removable rain cover.
  • Gray hypalon zip pulls, quieter and less conspicuous than metal.
  • Slimmer, more minimalist styling than the v2 bags.

Carrying

  • Semi-rigid back panel with airflow channels.
  • Adjustable shoulder and sternum straps.
  • Soft top handle, usable for hanging the bag from a hook or tripod center column.
  • Trolley sleeve for rolling carry-on luggage.

James ★★★★★

Took it on a weekend city trip and loved how the 13L size slides under a plane seat while still swallowing a mirrorless camera, a jacket, and snacks. The 40/60 interior means I grab one bag instead of juggling a separate camera case, and it held up fine in light rain on the walk to the hostel.

Elizabeth V. ★★★★★

The 40/60 split works perfectly for me — I can fit my camera kit on one side and a rain jacket plus lunch on the other without it feeling bulky. The padded shoulder straps are comfortable even after a full day of walking around the city. A solid everyday bag that doesn't scream "expensive camera ins

Kevin ★★★★★

I can slide my mirrorless body plus two lenses into the dedicated section and still have room for a jacket and lunch in the top half. The padded back panel kept everything comfortable even when I wore it for a few hours of walking.
