Manfrotto Chicago Camera Backpack Medium for DSLR

The Manfrotto Chicago Medium Backpack (MB CH-BP-50) is a sleek, urban dark-grey camera backpack that seamlessly converts from a fully padded photo/gimbal bag to a 100 % lifestyle daypack thanks to its removable Slim-Tech camera insert. It holds a full-frame mirrorless or DSLR with 70-200mm attached + 3–4 extra lenses, a 15″ laptop, a DJI OSMO Mobile gimbal, and personal gear, while offering dual-side access, front tripod holder with three configurations, Kevlar-reinforced bottom, water-repellent coated fabric and a full rain cover – the perfect hybrid bag for city photographers and hybrid shooters.

The Chicago Medium is Manfrotto’s flagship urban camera backpack: premium materials, smart modular design, and serious protection. The removable padded camera unit holds a gripped DSLR or mirrorless with lens attached plus up to four additional lenses and can be taken out in seconds for a clean 18 L daypack or used alone as a shoulder bag. A dedicated rear laptop compartment fits 15″ devices, side flaps have a pocket for handheld gimbals, and stretch side pockets hold water bottles. The front tripod connection system offers three different carrying positions, and the entire exterior is water-repellent with an included rain cover.
