Cinevate Inc Video Backpack (Black)

The black Video Backpack from Cinevate is designed for anyone who is intrepid and not afraid of the outdoors. With features that will please anyone who pursues outdoor imaging, this pack has got it all. For your 1-2 DSLRs and 6-8 additional lenses, stabilizing and support system, as well as your 15.0" (38.1 cm) laptop and a plethora of accessories, the Video Backpack provides you with a package that will take the worry out of dealing with the elements and permit you to go where others dare not tread to get incredible outdoor shots.

Your gear is neatly stashed within the internal movable, padded dividers that permit you to sculpt the guts of the pack to suit your shooting style and gear needs. Your 15.0" laptop is held within its own reinforced compartment made with a polyethylene frame sheet for extra protection. A host of clear mesh accessory pockets and loops permit you to store rapid access and small items. There are very large side pods that can be used as either access points to reach your gear or as accessory pockets. The pods are designed in a pass-through design so there's never any question about accessing your gear from either side. For absolute security, the pack will accept a user-supplied lock on top to protect the interior.

On the outside, the pack is made from a water-repellent dobby/RipStop nylon that is accented with rubberized YKK zippers with long pull tabs that will come in handy when you're wearing gloves. This combination of materials gives you a rough and ready pack (6.2 lb/2.8 kg) that is also designed to wick moisture away from your back with its ventilated mesh padding that will be quite comfortable while on the trail. For even more protection, the pack also comes with a removable WeatherWrap rain cover that will completely surround the pack when the weather turns sour.

The harness system is rated expedition grade - fully adjustable for maximum balance and comfort and comes with a zip-around cover that encloses it when not needed. The wide waist belt is adjustable and contains handy multiple clip-on points for accessory pouches. For removing the pack from a car or closet, Cinevate has incorporated top and side grab handles that give the pack a special "grab and go" capability.

There's hardly an outdoor shooter who doesn't, at some point, need a tripod and the Video Backpack comes with an adjustable mounting system that will hold most popular sized tripods.  Even the bottom of the bag comes with extra webbing with which you can lash on your jacket or a small monopod. Another benefit of the pack is that it can be readily converted to a non-photo style pack whether for a weekend get-away or simple grocery shopping. The photo and laptop inserts are removable leaving you with a single storage compartment for whatever comes along. For packing convenience, there are two removable, tethered pouches - one for your media cards and the other for your MP3 player.

This is a very viable pack that offers you maximum storage capacity combined with maximum protection. The Video Pack comes with a one-year warranty.
