Setup and Configuration

Customizing the Camera Compartment

The main camera compartment features adjustable, padded dividers. These dividers are secured with hook-and-loop fasteners, allowing you to reconfigure the internal layout to perfectly fit your DSLR camera body, lenses, and other accessories. Ensure all equipment is snugly fitted to prevent movement during transport. An elastic strap is provided to further secure your camera body.

Adjusting Straps for Comfort

Adjust the shoulder straps to distribute weight evenly across your shoulders. The adjustable sternum strap should be positioned across your chest for added stability, and the waist belt can be fastened around your hips to transfer weight from your shoulders, especially during extended wear or when carrying heavier loads. Utilize the strap management system to roll up and secure any excess strap length, preventing them from dangling.

Usage Instructions

Packing Your DSLR Camera and Lenses

Place your DSLR camera body with an attached lens into the main compartment, ensuring it is secured by the elastic strap. Arrange additional lenses and a flash unit in the compartments created by the adjustable dividers. Always ensure adequate padding surrounds each item to prevent damage from impacts.

Utilizing the iPad Compartment

The dedicated, padded iPad compartment is located along the back panel. Access it via the side zipper for quick and convenient retrieval of your tablet without needing to open the main compartment.

Accessory Storage

• Front Zippered Pocket: Ideal for smaller personal items such as keys, wallet, or a smartphone.
• Top Compartment: Suitable for non-camera accessories like snacks, sunglasses, or travel documents.
• Memory Card Slip Pocket: Use this internal pocket to securely store your memory cards.

Attaching a Tripod or Monopod

Utilize the adjustable side straps to secure a tripod or monopod to the exterior of the backpack. Ensure the straps are tightened sufficiently to prevent the tripod from shifting or falling during movement.

Weather Protection

In adverse weather conditions, deploy the integrated weather hood. Locate it in the dedicated back panel compartment, pull it over the backpack, and secure it snugly to protect your gear from rain, snow, or dust.

Maintenance

Cleaning Instructions

To clean your Case Logic CPL-108BK backpack, follow these guidelines:

• Hand Wash Only: Do not machine wash, bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean the backpack.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and cool water to gently clean soiled areas.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Allow the backpack to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

Storage

When not in use, store the backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.

Troubleshooting

Tripod/Monopod Not Fitting Securely

The side straps are designed to accommodate most standard tripods and monopods. If your larger tripod does not fit securely, ensure the straps are fully extended and the tripod is positioned optimally. For very large or heavy tripods, an alternative carrying solution may be required.

Equipment Shifting Inside

Ensure all internal padded dividers are adjusted to create snug compartments for each piece of equipment. Utilize the elastic strap for the camera body. If items still shift, consider adding extra padding or reconfiguring the dividers for a tighter fit.
