Setup

1. Adjusting the Suspension System

1. Back Panel Adjustment: For the 35L model, locate the adjustable back panel mechanism. Adjust the back length between 38-48cm to match your torso length for optimal comfort and load distribution.
2. Shoulder Straps: Loosen the shoulder straps, put on the backpack, and then tighten them until the weight is comfortably distributed across your shoulders.
3. Chest Strap: Fasten the chest strap across your sternum and adjust its height and tension to stabilize the shoulder straps and prevent them from slipping.
4. Optional Waist Belt: If using the optional OneMo Waist Belt (sold separately), attach it to the designated ports on the back panel and adjust for a snug fit around your hips to transfer weight from your shoulders.

2. Customizing Internal Dividers

1. Open the main compartment fully using the 180° clamshell access.
2. Arrange the padded dividers to create compartments that securely fit your camera bodies, lenses, and other accessories. The dividers attach via hook-and-loop fasteners.
3. Ensure all gear is snug to prevent movement during transport.

3. Attaching Modular Accessories

Utilize the MOLLE webbing and hook-and-loop panels on the exterior to attach compatible pouches and accessories, expanding the backpack's carrying capacity and organization.

Operating

1. Accessing Your Gear

• Main Compartment: For full access, unbuckle the anti-burst buckle and unzip the main compartment completely.
• Side Access: Use the dedicated side zipper to quickly retrieve your camera without opening the entire backpack.
• Top Access (35L only): For even faster access to a camera or frequently used items, utilize the top quick-access port.
• Front Pocket: The expandable front pocket provides instant access to larger items like gimbals or drones.

2. Using the Laptop Compartment

A dedicated compartment is located at the back of the backpack, designed to securely hold laptops up to 16 inches. Slide your laptop into this padded sleeve.

3. Tripod Holder

The side pocket is designed to function as a secure tripod holder. Place the tripod base in the pocket and secure the top portion with the adjustable compression straps.

4. Battery Pocket with Power Indicator

Utilize the specialized battery pocket, which includes a power indicator feature, to organize and monitor your camera batteries.

5. Using the Rain Cover

In adverse weather conditions, deploy the included rain cover from its storage pocket and fit it over the entire backpack to provide additional protection against water.
