The McKinnon Camera Pack 25L

Worth the Money.

"I debated between this size and the 35L—it really depends on how much gear you carry. But this pack is amazing. The materials feel premium and protective, especially in tough conditions like dust, snow, or rain. It fits telephoto lenses, and I love the top pocket for extra items like a McKinnon Filter Case. The ability to use two small cubes for different setups without switching bags is a game changer. Pricey? Sure. But your gear deserves it." – Samuel B. (Verified Buyer)

Just What I Was Looking For!

"Great bag—exactly what I needed. I was deciding between this and the Peak Design 30L Travel Bag for a last-minute trip and bought both to compare. The McKinnon won me over with better build quality and capacity." – Steven P. (Verified Buyer)

Perfect for My Trip to Iceland

"Iceland is a photographer’s paradise, and I knew I needed to upgrade to a pack that could protect my gear and still be comfortable. I packed a full-frame DSLR, two lenses, a GoPro, Insta360, DJI Mini 3 Pro, and batteries. The exterior pocket was especially handy for quick access to my passport and charger. It’s stylish, minimal, and—most importantly—comfortable. After a 5-mile glacier hike with a full load, I was grateful for the upgrade." – Julian F. (Verified Buyer)

Padded Laptop Protection

Secure sleeve fits laptops up to 16"—easy to access, safely protected.

Luggage Handle Pass-Through

Slides onto your rolling suitcase for smooth airport travel.

Quick Top Access

Grab your camera fast—no need to open the whole bag.

Side Pocket – Water Bottle

Ergonomic straps and back panel padding keep you comfortable on the move.

Good bag but magnet issues
I bought the bag and it came with some issues with the stitching for the top compartment. One of the flaps holding a magnet for the quick access section was scrunched up and did not want to stay extended making it difficult for the flap to lock into place. Returned it and got a new one and now the flap is stitched correctly but the magnet is not in the right place (I can’t move it either) for the flap to lock into place. Everything else is great and the bag looks great, but for $300 dollars I wish that there was a little bit more care put into the small details.

Great Backpack for My Mobile Studio
I needed a backpack that would fit the final pieces of my gear that wouldn't fit into the Pelican case. This was the one that got me over the hump, and the passthrough was crucial as I ran through O'Hare. The structured nature of the pack made it fit easily under the seat on the plane.
The only quibble I would have is it would be nice to have a quick access outside pocket for AirPods, cables, keys, etc.

Love the backpack, but I do not like the straps
Overall amazing quality. If you are looking for a spacious backpack for gear, here you go. For everyday carry you would likely need to add organisation.

Magic Pack
I�m a professional close up magician (kristoffthemagician.com) and wanted a high class backpack in which to carry magic props to performances. The McKinnon Camera Pack 25L is just what I needed. The pack looks sufficiently elegant to carry even when I�m wearing a tux. When I�m bringing a close up table, the table stand fits nicely in the side sleeve. I�ve had a number of very favorable comments on it.
