AWARD WINNING CAMERA BACKPACKS
over 10,000 Atlas Packs sold world-wide since 2018
Hi and welcome to Atlas Packs. I'm @allanhenry, General Manager and Partner here at @atlaspacks and also a photographer like many of you.
The goal at Atlas Packs is simple, to offer solutions to real world problems and build relationships and customers along the way.
Atlas Packs are sold direct - from us to you. If you need anything tap the chat icon or feel free to text or call.
When we first started Atlas Packs, we started with the premise that to be successful as a new brand, we needed to build a component based system with removable camera cores.
Why removable? We believed consumers wanted removable cores because it offered flexibility and options.

The Atlas ONE is coming this SUMMER
Hi everyone.
I'm excited to officially announce details about the new "Atlas ONE" packs coming this summer.
+ The Atlas ONE line will include a series of different packs purpose designed for a specific activity and/or destination.
+ Atlas ONE packs are smaller than the Athlete and Adventure and include a very different internal workflow and designs.
+ Atlas ONE packs also have a sewn-in Origami Camera Core (TM) but it's at the bottom not the top and designed for open carry and concealment of camera gear.
If you want one you must reserve in advance via a fully refundable deposit. The next Atlas ONE meet-up is scheduled for March 28th.
No details regarding the new Atlas ONE line will be made public.
but the more we tested, the more we kept questioning our premise and so we started asking...
Are we limiting ourselves by mandating a level of ‘flexibility’ that interferes with our ‘real backpack carrying quality’ objective.
Premise One - One Harness / Shell for All
The idea that one harness system will work for all loads was erroneous. A 50lb load will be well under-supported and a 15lb load will be well overpowered. Fabrics, styling and harness must be different based on load.
Premise Two - Removable Camera Core
The market has different sized camera cores but requires multiple cores to be bought and switched out. This is a market paradigm but not necessarily the only solution to different sized loads.
Premise Three - A Removable Camera Core Would not Interfere with Suspension
Maybe the reason existing packs carry poorly is because a removable core limits performance. If enough flexibility is provided with the Origami Core, removable may. not be needed.
Here's why Atlas Packs are the Best Camera Backpacks for Adventure, Hiking and Travel
Award-Winning Comfortable Camera Backpacks for Every Adventure
Atlas Packs is the only company that offers a technically fitted solution with a load-bearing frame and overbuild hiking hip belt. Atlas Packs are not like traditional camera bags.

Adventure photography requires that you carry more than just camera gear. Camera bags are great for short trips and around town, but when you need to haul, there is nothing designed like Atlas Packs. Durable. Dependable. Super easy and intuitive award winning design including Camera Bag of the Year!
Built for Airline Travel - Never Check Your Gear
With Atlas Packs you never have to check your camera gear. Both the Atlas Athlete and Atlas Adventure are designed for airline travel and will fit under an airline seat even with 35L of total gear!
