Or in the event of an emergency on your trek, can help you attract attention by making you more visible. The Alta Sky 42 can also carry a tripod in the centre for optimal balance, with a tuck away tripod foot if needed. Constructed to be tough and weatherproof with our total coverage rain cover, the Alta Sky Series is designed to protect your valuable kit in the most arduous conditions.

Traditional Setup

The Alta Sky 49 and Alta Sky 53 are designed as traditional PRO camera backpacks for maximum camera kit (or drones). The kit can be accessed through the top of the backpack or through the rear. The only difference is size, and therefore the kit that can be carried.

Model Shown: Alta Sky 53.

Dual Compartments

The Alta Sky 45D and Alta Sky 51D are designed for maximum versatility with two compartments that allow a 70/30 split of gear (lower compartment shown). How you set it up is entirely down to you.

Large camera kit – simply use both compartments for your gear.

Heading away for a weekend and want to take a change of clothes – simply remove the inserts from the top/bottom compartment and you can carry your personal effects.

You can also access your camera through quick side access, quick top access or through the back allowing you to customise it to your preference.

Long Lenses (up to 800mm)

The Alta Sky 66 is specifically designed to carry a super telephoto lens up to 600mm (f/4.0) and some 800mm (f/5.6) attached to a Pro DSLR. If you want to carry your long lens and additional lenses so you don't miss an opportunity in the field there are three options.

  • The Alta Sky 42 will carry a full frame body attached to a 200-600mm lens.
  • The Alta Sky 62 will carry a pro body with up to a 600mm lens attached.
  • The Alta Sky 68 will carry a pro body with up to an 800mm lens attached.

These are great solutions to carry your large lens safely and in comfort, with easy access when needed.
