Athlete Camera Backpack by Atlas Packs – Slim, Versatile, and Built for Travel w/hip belt

I took me some time to find the best camera pack. But I did it! I have two different Atlas backpacks and I'm in love. 3 years ago I tried one of a friend of mine and the next day I bought one. Next level quality and confort! I've travel to Alaska, Yemen, to the jungle in Sumatra and the beaches in Australia. I've been everywhere with it!

To the review, I sadly did not take a lot of photos of the backpack while shooting. But I have attached them here and I can only say that I absolutely love this backpack. I would buy it again and again.

Even for me coming from Germany with paying taxes to get it delivered. It just different to every other camera bag.

I had an old 16mm Camera with 3 lenses with me, an FX3 for backup with 4 lenses and one Nikon F3 for photos. It all fitted easily in the Adventure Pack. I even had it as hand luggage and it was absolutely no problem at all.

With over a decade of travelling to 100+ countries, I need gear that’s tough, reliable, and ready for anything—just like Atlas Packs. Whether I’m chasing sunsets in remote landscapes or capturing the stars in the dead of night, Atlas Packs are with me every step (and snap) of the way. From airport runs to rugged hikes, these backpacks handle my demanding schedule without breaking a sweat. It’s more than just a pack—it’s my go-to travel companion!

I love my @atlaspacks. It safely held all my camera gear while on these excursions.

Another great product from Atlas Packs. I already had the Athlete, but needed something bigger due to my expanded kit so enter the Adventure. It’s got a great feel to it, oodles of space for all of my gear, and is incredibly comfortable.

Love this backpack! So many ways to make use of it. I removed the metal thing so I can make the backpack smaller. I haven’t taken it backpacking yet hopefully soon!

I had an opportunity to take my Atlas Pack out on a steep trail and was very impressed by how it felt and performed. My Nikon Z8 with the 180-600 mm lens attached fit well in the large compartment.

I can’t tell you how many backpacks I have sitting around, so when I say this particular pack by atlas is truly amazing it’s from experience. The quality of construction can’t be matched. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness for photographers, especially is truly creative. This is serious pack built with purpose. I am looking forward to many years with this purchase and would highly recommend anyone that has expensive photography gear and wishes to travel securely to purchase.

Great for my Atlas Athlete backpack

I have owned about every kind of camera backpack over the years but the Atlas is by far the best pack I have ever owned. Not only is the pack the absolute best, but the service from Allan at Atlas Packs is top notch. After I received the pack, Allan took an hour on a Zoom call to help me get the pack adjusted and fitting perfectly. Don’t look anywhere else, this is the best camera backpack you will find.

For me Atlas Packs is the right camera bag. It fits great, is attractive, practical and lightweight.

Outdoor recreation like mountain biking, splitboarding and resort riding creates plenty of opportunity for abuse of delicate and expensive photo gear. I always struggled to find a pack that fit my big three criteria: comfort, packability and protection. There are plenty of packs that do one or two of those really well, but Atlas is the first to check all boxes for me. I’m able to confidently and comfortably ride bikes and boards, and have taken many a tumble on harsh terrain without damaging my gear.

When it comes to camera bags, Atlas is Thanos. It embodies everything you need in a pack for day to day life when it comes from going to a shoot or hanging out with your kids. I always have my Atlas Pack with me!

I loved my Adventure Pack so much that I purchased the Athlete Pack to go along with it! Spending a lot of my time on two wheels adventuring, I'm very tough on my gear and my Atlas packs have thrived at everything I can through at them. I use my Adventure Pack when I'm out shooting wildlife and need my bigger lenses or when I'm on multiday trips and need to pack camera and camping gear. The Athlete Pack is my everyday camera bag that allows me to carry all the gear I need plus a few layers and plenty of snacks. I really like these packs because they don't look like camera bags with expensive gear in them, living in a big city where I often leave my bag in my truck and this matters to me. From the seashore to the desert to the mountains, one of my Atlas Packs is always with me. Feel free to ask me any questions

I trust Atlas Packs for their unparalleled quality and ergonomic design, saving my back from discomfort, and for the incredible community around the brand. Allan, the owner, truly listens and cares
