The Ultimate Camera Backpack for Adventure Photographers: Meet the Leofoto BACKUP 25L & 35L Series
For adventure photographers, landscape shooters, filmmakers, and content creators, a camera backpack is more than just a way to carry gear—it’s a mobile workstation, protective vault, and travel companion all rolled into one.
Whether you’re hiking to a remote mountain summit before sunrise, navigating airport terminals on an international photography trip, or spending a day filming in the wilderness, the right camera backpack can make the difference between an enjoyable shoot and a frustrating one.
That’s where the Leofoto BACKUP Camera Backpack Series comes in.
Available in 25L and 35L sizes, the BACKUP Series has been designed specifically for creators who need a rugged, weather-resistant backpack capable of carrying camera equipment, laptops, drones, accessories, and personal items in one streamlined solution.
Combining technical outdoor backpack design with professional camera organisation, the BACKUP Series is built to help photographers move further, carry more comfortably, and stay organised wherever the adventure leads.
Built for Travel Photography, Landscape Photography & Adventure
Photographers often find themselves in environments that ordinary backpacks simply aren’t designed for.
Mountain trails.
Coastal cliffs.
Dense forests.
Remote campsites.
Busy airports.
The Leofoto BACKUP Series was developed with these real-world shooting environments in mind.
Constructed from highly durable weather-resistant nylon fabrics, including rugged 420D nylon materials and high-strength synthetic fabrics, these backpacks provide dependable protection while maintaining a lightweight and comfortable carry.
The result is a photography backpack that’s equally at home exploring remote landscapes as it is navigating city streets and international airports.
For landscape photographers, travel photographers, filmmakers, drone operators, and outdoor creators, versatility is everything—and that’s exactly what the BACKUP Series delivers.s.
Weather-Resistant Protection for Valuable Camera Gear
Adventure photography rarely happens in perfect conditions.
Some of the best images are captured during changing weather, dramatic storms, misty mornings, or challenging environments where gear protection becomes critical.
The BACKUP Series features:
- Weather-resistant exterior construction
- Water-repellent materials
- Water-resistant zippers
- Reinforced scratch-resistant base panels
- Durable nylon shell construction
For the 35L model, Leofoto also includes a dedicated weather shield for additional protection during heavier rain and more extreme weather conditions.
Whether you’re photographing waterfalls, coastal landscapes, wildlife, or mountain environments, the BACKUP Series helps keep your gear protected when conditions become unpredictable.
Large Camera Inserts Designed for Serious Creators
One of the standout features of both the 25L and 35L models is the inclusion of a large removable padded camera insert.
Unlike many camera backpacks that quickly run out of space once larger lenses or video accessories are added, the BACKUP Series is designed to accommodate substantial photography and filmmaking kits.
The included camera insert measures:
415mm x 290mm x 160mm
This generous space can comfortably accommodate:
- Full-frame mirrorless camera systems
- DSLR camera kits
- Multiple lenses
- Drones
- Gimbals
- Audio equipment
- Filters
- Batteries
- Chargers
- Video accessories
The adjustable divider system allows users to customise the layout to suit their own equipment and workflow.
Even better, the insert is removable, transforming the backpack into a versatile travel or everyday carry bag when camera equipment isn’t required.
Leofoto BACKUP 25L: The Perfect Adventure Daypack
The BACKUP 25L strikes an ideal balance between capacity and mobility.
With a 25-litre capacity, it provides enough room for a serious camera kit while remaining compact and comfortable enough for day hikes, travel photography, and everyday use.

Leofoto BACKUP 35L: Maximum Capacity for Professional Workflows
For photographers carrying larger kits, telephoto lenses, drones, video equipment, or gear for extended trips, the BACKUP 35L provides additional capacity and professional-level functionality.
With a generous 35-litre volume, the BACKUP 35L is designed to support demanding creative workflows without sacrificing comfort or portability.

Designed for Comfort During Long Days in the Field
Adventure photography often means carrying heavy equipment over long distances.
The BACKUP Series has been engineered to make those long days more comfortable.
Features such as:
- Ergonomic padded shoulder straps
