Comfortable & compact outdoor/travel and camera backpack

Perfect performance & maximum comfort

Robust, comfortable & versatile - the carrying system developed for uniquely back-friendly comfort on a camera backpack. Supplemented with practical features & premium materials.

CarryLite ergo carrying system

Camera and/or video equipment can be extremely heavy. Relief, ergonomics and comfort are therefore particularly essential.

The Element backpack is therefore designed around a specially developed carrying system that is unique among camera backpacks. Ergonomically optimized for people up to approx. 175 cm tall, it guarantees an optimum fit for shorter backs. The Element backpack 20L can also be carried by taller people, but taller people should prefer the Element backpack 30L to take advantage of the relief provided by the ShiftPro hip belt.

focus is on reliable performance

When the going gets tough outdoors, you need to be able to rely on your equipment. The Element Line focuses on practical functions, relieving comfort and the best materials and parts that will work perfectly for many years and protect your equipment.
