MindShift FirstLight 30L Backpack

The Mind Shift Firstlight 30L Backpack has an adjustable, contoured harness system and is designed for travelling photographers who need a high capacity carry-on bag that’s comfortable enough for all-day wear. The backpack is extremely versatile and accommodates a huge range of gear. It can hold a DSLR with 400 f/2.8 lens attached, 4-6 standard zoom lenses, 1 flash, and even a 3L hydration bladder. It also has a dedicated laptop compartment and an external tripod attachment point making it the ultimate gear transport solution.

30L Carry-On Backpack

The MindShift FirstLight 30L Backpack is extremely spacious and meets carry-on size restrictions of most domestic and international airlines. 3 grab handles make it easy to lift and manoeuvre into overhead bins. Compression straps help minimise its size and provide extra attachment points.

Customisable Main Compartment

High density foam dividers allow you to customise the well-padded main compartment to fit your gear perfectly. This section of the backpack can hold one DSLR body with attached grip, a flash, 4-6 standard zoom lenses, and other accessories depending on their size.

Dedicated Laptop and Hydration Pockets

A dedicated compartment in the front of the bag can hold a 15-inch laptop or 12-inch tablet while a hydration pocket on the side has room for a 3L reservoir for easy access to water.

Several Accessory Pockets and Tripod Storage

A series of internal mesh pockets, front pockets, and a top pocket can be used to organise your smaller items, like batteries, memory cards, and cables. The side pocket can be used for a drink bottle and tripods or monopods can be strapped to the front or side of the bag for easy carry.

Contoured Comfort and Durability

The FirstLight Backpack has a contoured harness system with 11 adjustment points to fit various body types. It provides excellent weight distribution for all-day carrying comfort on the trail. An aluminium stay and a ballistic nylon base deliver additional support and durability.

Water Repellent with an Additional Rain Cover

The FirstLight is highly water resistant on its own, featuring a durable water repellent coating on the outside, while the underside of the fabric is polyurethane coated to ensure water doesn’t seep through. If that’s not enough, it also includes a rain cover for when the weather really gets ugly.
