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.

This is a great bag!
We purchased this for my son to use on an upcoming trip. He has his DSLR and about 5 lenses comfortably packed with chargers and extra batteries. The best part is that there is so much extra space to pack it up as his personal item on the plane. I was really surprised by the Bags ability to make it feel so light on your back even with everything in it. I personally have a few of Nomatics products and the quality and ease of use continues with the McKinnon Camera Pack 25L. I know this is a Camera Bag he will have for years.

Great all in bag
I have been using this bag since 2021 and it has been great for packing all my gear and clothes when I have to have a small footprint for doc work or run and gun stuff. Plenty of storage and protection for my camera gear. Customer service is also great bc my zipper broke right before a shoot and they sent a replacement right away

Better than Peak Design?
For me, absolutely. I got tired of the side openings on my PD pack. They became a nuisance. The design of this Nomatic pack proved to be far more spacious and user friendly. I can fit more and I can find it all, quickly. More than that, the Nomatic pack is far more comfortable. Something about the way it sits and the padding just makes it much easier to wear. I use this pack to carry my Z8 with a 600mm lens attached. I also have room for my landscape lens, and all my accessories. And of course, my Mac fits no problem in the laptop compartment. Did I mention build quality? Yeah, its got that too.
