Have you checked to see if you have QD "quick detach"?

If you've recently purchased a plate for your camera body or replaced your factory lens foot, chances are good it has a QD "quick detach" grommet. QD is going to be just as popular as Arca.

If you have a plate or lens foot from Leofoto, Really Right Stuff, Kirk Photo, Smallrig, Pro Media Gear and more, it may have QD already built in. Check to see if you have a small sliver grommet without any screw threads.

Using the QD+MOLLE hip belt connector, you can quickly and securely carry camera gear connected to Atlas Packs hip belt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Atlas Adventure Camera Backpack - Expandable, Travel-Friendly for Photographers w/hip belt FAQs

The difference is in the design. Bags are designed to hang on shoulders. Backpacks are designed to hang on hips. This simple difference makes a huge difference and why Atlas Packs are so comfortable and easy to carry. 

There are so many problems with camera bags it's hard to know where to start. First, they come in fixed liter increments, who packs the exact amount every time! Next, they are floppy and lack structure and need to be filled with smaller bags or inserts just to stand up. All this extra adds weight and drives up costs and limits access to camera gear. And finding a camera bag that properly fits, good luck. Camera bags are sized based on liters, not torso length or waist size. That's because camera bags are designed to hang on your shoulders while packs are designed to hang on your hips.

The design for both Athlete and Adventure Packs is complete. There is no 'new' version of the pack coming next year.

Curved shoulder harness systems for women are recommend when hip belts are not adequate to support the load. When you have a properly sized pack and hip belt a straight shoulder harness works perfectly.

No. The ATLAS logo on the front of the pack has been updated from the original design. The updated logo is both smaller and the colorway is tonal. You can expect the logo to fade out in the shadows and be somewhat visible in direct light

We designed the Adventure Pack because camera bags are all giant boxes!  We wanted a thinner, more nimble design that holds weight close to the body and doesn’t impede movement in busy urban areas or while moving over terrain.

We also wanted a way to move space inside the pack without have to remove and insert anything and why we designed and developed our Origami Camera Core (TM). Camera bags are floppy and lack structure and have to be filled with smaller bags to secure camera gear. These systems add costs and weight and use a "pressure fit" design. Pressure fitting resulting in a fundamental compromise to a bags load carry why camera bags carry so much heavier than they actually weigh.

With the Adventure Pack, we've designed the worlds first and only true hybrid - and taken the best from the world of camera and the outdoors and combined them together. Countless awards and accolades. Battle tested world wide since 2018 by thousands of pros and armatures alike.
