The Advanced Befree III 25L is the largest bag in the range and the one to
choose if you shoot long glass — the removable insert measures 9.8 × 5.5 ×
10.6″ and takes a large DSLR with a 70-200mm attached plus up to six more
lenses. Pull the insert out, collapse the internal partition, and it becomes a
conventional 25L daypack, which is what makes it a travel bag rather than just a
transport case.

What it holds

  • Removable camera insert 9.8 × 5.5 × 10.6″, with M-Guard high-density EVA foam dividers.
  • Top section above the insert, 9.8 × 5.5 × 4.7″, for clothing, snacks or supplies.
  • Tech compartment for a 15″ laptop and 11″ tablet.
  • Dual side holders that take tripods or water bottles.
  • Rear hidden pocket for a passport and other valuables.
  • Internal and external pockets and pouches throughout for accessories.

Access and build

  • Back access to the camera compartment, which keeps the opening against your body while the bag is worn.
  • Quick access to the upper section without unpacking.
  • Wear-resistant coated polyester nylon for water resistance, plus a removable rain cover.
  • Gray hypalon zip pulls.
  • Semi-rigid back panel with airflow channels.

Carrying

  • Adjustable shoulder and sternum straps.
  • Soft top handle.
  • Trolley sleeve for rolling carry-on luggage.

Madison B. ★★★★★

The removable insert is a lifesaver—I can slip the whole thing out and use the 25L as a regular daypack when I'm not hauling glass. Even loaded with a big DSLR and that 70-200mm, the straps feel balanced and the zip access is quick on the trail.

Violet ★★★★★

My 70-200mm fits perfectly in the removable insert without having to remove the hood, which is exactly what I needed. The 25L size is generous enough for a day of hiking with a jacket and snacks on top of the gear.

Madison ★★★★★

My old backpack couldn't even close with my 70-200mm attached, but this one swallows it whole with room to spare in the 25L main compartment. The removable insert is a lifesaver for switching between hiking and studio days.
