Product Information

Full details

The Leofoto Backup Backpack 35L is designed for professional photographers and videographers who need to transport large, complex equipment setups securely and in all-terrain conditions. Its key benefit is maximum organization and protection for extensive gear, including cameras, large lenses, drones, and accessories, thanks to a large, removable divider and durable, weatherproof construction. A potential caveat is its substantial combined weight when fully loaded, which may require consideration for extended treks.

FAQs

What are the exact internal dimensions of the main compartment?

The internal dimensions are approximately 54 x 34 x 25cm when the cube insert is installed. The cube itself can be configured to fit your specific gear.

Can I remove the cube insert completely?

Yes, the large cube insert is designed to be removable, allowing the main compartment to be used for general travel or different types of equipment.

Is the backpack suitable for air travel?

With dimensions of 54 x 34 x 25cm, it may exceed standard carry-on size limits for some airlines. It is recommended to check with your specific airline before traveling.

How much weight can the external attachment points hold?

The attachment points and straps are designed for secure carrying of gear like tripods or sleeping bags. Avoid overloading them with excessively heavy items, as this can strain the fabric and stitching.

Does the backpack come with a rain cover?

The backpack is constructed from weatherproof materials, but a separate integrated or included rain cover is not specified in the product details.

What material is the backpack made from?

It is constructed from durable 420D Ballistic Nylon with a PU Coating.

What is the total weight of the backpack?

Troubleshooting

Backpack feels unbalanced or uncomfortable

Adjust the harness height to match your torso length. Ensure heavier items are placed closer to your back and centered within the cube insert. Tighten or loosen shoulder straps, sternum strap, and hip belt as needed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant to help it slide smoothly.

External straps are not secure

Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the buckles and that all buckles are fully engaged. Check for any fraying on the straps.

Water seeping through during heavy rain

While weatherproof, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to some moisture ingress. For extreme conditions, consider using an additional waterproof cover or placing sensitive electronics in dry bags inside the backpack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The primary setup involves configuring the internal cube insert to best suit your equipment. Adjust the harness height for a comfortable and balanced fit. Utilize the external attachment points and multi-function straps to secure items like tripods or jackets externally.

Compatibility: This backpack is compatible with most professional camera bodies, large telephoto lenses, drones (e.g., DJI Mavic series), and accessories. It accommodates standard hydration bladders (not included) via the dedicated passthrough. Ensure your specific gear fits within the internal dimensions when configuring the cube.

Care: To maintain the backpack's performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Zippers: Keep YKK zippers clean and lubricated with a silicone-based lubricant if they become stiff.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably with the cube insert removed or loosely packed to maintain airflow and prevent deformation.
