Nomatic McKinnon 35L Reviews

Great Backpack

By David
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-09

I tried different backpacks in the past, and this one is the first that my wildlife gear fits properly, and also I can carry my tripod, my poncho, and a hat

Almost perfect

By Audley
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-09

It’s almost perfect but considering the price, I was expecting perfection. Seriously, it’s a really good bag. Very comfortable on my back when loaded. It does everything it promises to do! If I had to complain about anything: 1- the main zipper is a bit difficult to move around the corners at the bottom of the bag 2- while empty, it is over 5 pounds!

I have two cameras with battery grips will this fit them standing up? One is an R5 and an 80D?
Asked by: Jonah
It might not be deep enough to have both cameras standing up with the battery grips on. You'll feel it on your back for sure. It lay it on either the screen or the front of the camera it would fit just fine though.

How does this fit on a female? A lot of camera bags are designed for males and are very bulky.
Asked by: Sharon
The Nomatic McKinnon 3-day 35L camera backpack is quite typical in its design and quite bulky for most users regardless of sex. Depending on your height and build, it varies in fit, but the trade off is great protection, robustness/durability, and storage capacity.
