FAQs

What are the external dimensions of the backpack?

The product information does not specify external dimensions, but it is designed to be a practical size for mobile photographers and travel.

Can the internal dividers be completely removed?

Yes, the adjustable dividers can be removed to convert the main compartment into a larger, open space for everyday use.

Is the backpack suitable for carrying large lighting equipment?

The backpack is designed for mobile photography gear. While it can carry smaller lights and stands, very large or numerous lighting setups may exceed its capacity.

How does the roll-top design work for extra capacity?

The roll-top closure allows you to fold down the top opening multiple times to secure contents, and it can be unrolled to add extra height and volume to the main compartment when needed.

What is the warranty period for the Profoto Core Backpack II?

Product information does not specify warranty details. Please refer to Profoto's official website or your point of purchase for warranty information.

Are the materials water-resistant or fully waterproof?

The backpack is described as weatherproof, suggesting it offers protection against rain and splashes. For prolonged submersion, it is not designed to be fully waterproof.

Can this backpack be used as carry-on luggage?

While designed for travel convenience, carry-on size restrictions vary by airline. It is recommended to check with your specific airline regarding their carry-on dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Backpack feels uncomfortable or shifts during wear.

Adjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap, and ensure weight is balanced within the backpack. Tighten straps for a snug fit.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to close.

Clean the zippers with a soft brush to remove dust and debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers if necessary.

Laptop sleeve doesn't fit a specific device.

Verify the device's dimensions against the 38.1 cm (15-inch) maximum screen size specification. Some thicker 15-inch laptops may not fit.

External straps not securely holding tripod.

Ensure the tripod legs are fully inserted into the side pocket and the compression straps are tightened firmly around the tripod body.
