Upper Saddle River, NJ—Manfrotto launched its new Pro Light Bumblebee bags for professional and amateur photographers as well as videographers who work outdoors. The bags are built for the harshest of conditions, including high temperatures, extreme cold and high humidity.

The Pro Light Bumblebee bag collection consists of camera backpacks and messenger bags that embody Manfrotto’s Italian heritage. The family introduces Manfrotto’s breathable harness system developed to reduce photography gear fatigue.

Moreover, the bags’ interior design safeguards professional equipment options. Manfrotto’s removable Camera Protection System (CPS) dividers protect camera bodies and lenses. They are fully adjustable and built to distribute weight evenly and avoid tension to the photographer’s body.

All the bags of the Bumblebee collection come with a sun/rain cover to protect them from rain, reflect sunlight and keep the gear cool and dry.

 

Manfrotto Bumblebee Photo Backpacks

Manfrotto Bumblebee backpacks are engineered to take stress and heat off of the photographer’s shoulders, neck and lower back. They also feature Manfrotto’s AirSupport breathable harness and back panel, adjustable sternum support and shaped hip and waist support systems. A side handle helps users put the pack on or take it off, while elastic side pockets keep water bottles outside the critical gear zone.

The entire internal space is padded to protect camera gear but also can be configured to accommodate accessories and personal gear. The main zipper comes with four pullers, which can be divided by a stopper into a top and lower compartment. Users can open the top zipper for rapid access to frequently used contents.

In addition, a NeverLose tripod connection secures both longer and shorter tripods on the side of the pack. The connection straps are stitched in the side pocket and also can be tucked away when not in use.

Furthermore, the bigger Bumblebee-230 PL features a lens pouch located in the waist belt. When not in use, the pouch can be flattened by tightening the webbing strap.

Manfrotto Bumblebee Messenger Bags

Like the backpacks, the Bumblebee messenger bags feature a body-gripping fit and a three-point AirSupport harness system. The harness is breathable and designed for prolonged outdoor use. The length of the strap can be adjusted using the easy-grip buckle.

Additional Bumblebee Messenger Features
