Backpack Manfrotto MB MA3-BP-GM Universal Black

The Manfrotto Advanced Gear Backpack M III (MB MA3-BP-GM) is a compact, lightweight camera and laptop backpack designed to carry and protect photographic equipment. It accommodates a DSLR with a 70–200 mm f/2.8 lens attached plus four additional lenses, or a full-frame CSC with a 70–200/4 attached and 2–3 extra lenses, and can also store a DJI Mavic Air 2 kit. The bag includes a dedicated padded pocket for a 15-inch laptop and multiple front compartments for accessories and personal items. External fabrics are treated for water repellence and a rain cover is supplied for heavier weather.

Advantages

The backpack uses Manfrotto’s M-Guard™ Protection System — high-density EVA foam with customizable folding patterns — to provide slim-profile shock absorption and flexible configuration of the camera compartment. It opens via convenient zippered front compartments for quick access, has a side strap for attaching a travel-size tripod, and offers balanced storage for camera bodies, lenses, drone kit and a 15-inch laptop while remaining compact and easy to carry. Constructed from synthetic materials with water-repellent treatment, it weighs approximately 1.16 kg.

Suitable for

• Photographers who carry a DSLR or full-frame CSC with multiple lenses

Use the external pockets for small items and personal belongings, and deploy the supplied rain cover in wet conditions.

Recommendations

For best protection, position the heaviest items (camera body with attached lens) centrally and close to your back, distribute lenses and accessories in remaining compartments, and adjust dividers to minimize movement. Apply the rain cover when heavy rain is expected despite the water-repellent fabric.
