3.1 Configuring Internal Dividers

The backpack features modular, padded dividers that can be rearranged to fit your specific gear. The interior is lined with hook-and-loop material, allowing for flexible customization.

1. Open the main clamshell compartment of the backpack.
2. Detach the pre-installed dividers by gently pulling them from the hook-and-loop lining.
3. Arrange the dividers to create custom compartments for your cameras, lenses, drones, and accessories. Ensure a snug fit to prevent movement during transport.
4. Press firmly on the dividers to secure them to the interior lining.

3.2 Adjusting Straps for Comfort

For optimal comfort and weight distribution, adjust all straps before wearing the backpack.

1. Shoulder Straps: Adjust the S-shape shoulder straps to ensure the backpack sits comfortably on your back, distributing weight evenly across your shoulders.
2. Sternum Strap: Fasten and adjust the sternum strap across your chest to stabilize the shoulder straps and reduce strain.
3. Waist Strap: Secure the detachable padded waist strap around your hips. This transfers a significant portion of the load from your shoulders to your hips, crucial for heavier loads and extended wear.
4. Suspension Adjustment Straps: Use the small straps above the shoulder straps to pull the top of the backpack closer to your body, preventing it from flopping.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals. Air dry thoroughly before storing.
