Product Summary

Carry your camera kit the way a hiking pack carries everything else. The Helios Large Set pairs a technical backpack with a 14L Core Camera Cube, whose configurable padded dividers protect up to two camera bodies, three additional lenses and accessories. Rear and side openings put your equipment within reach without unpacking the rest of the pack, and the included Stratus Rain Cover adds a waterproof shell when the weather turns.

A supportive internal frame, five-point adjustable harness and load lifters help distribute heavier loads comfortably on longer days. The expandable 30-40L roll-top makes room for extra layers and hiking essentials, while 17 pockets, external tripod carry and recycled Challenge ECOPAK fabric complete a pack built for photography adventures and travel.

Complete Camera Protection for Outdoor Photography

The Large Set includes a 14L Core Camera Cube L, providing configurable padded storage for professional photography equipment. The insert accommodates DSLR or mirrorless camera bodies, lenses and accessories, with the manufacturer specifying capacity for 1-2 camera bodies with lenses and 2-3 additional lenses, depending on equipment size.

Repositionable dividers let you arrange the interior around your kit, while reinforced panels maintain the Cube's structure. A dedicated internal pocket keeps SD and CF memory cards separate and accessible.

The zippered front panel secures equipment when the insert is removed from the backpack, and an integrated top handle makes it easy to lift out.

Rear and Side Access to Your Equipment

The included Camera Cube integrates with the backpack's rear and side openings, providing convenient access without unpacking your outdoor essentials.

A full-length rear opening allows the pack to lie flat for a clear view of your equipment, while the side opening provides quicker access to a camera during a shoot.

The 14L insert occupies more of the main compartment than the Medium version, making this set particularly suitable for photographers prioritising camera equipment capacity.

Hiking-Pack Comfort for Longer Days with Camera Gear

A five-point adjustable harness adapts to different body shapes and sizes, with 150 mm of shoulder strap height adjustment and tensionable shoulder and chest straps for a secure, personal fit.

An internal ABS frame sheet and formed steel wire structure improve stability, while upper load lifters draw the pack closer to your body. The removable padded waist belt transfers weight onto your hips, and perforated materials with EVA padding keep air moving against your back. At 1.8 kg, the backpack provides a supportive carrying system for demanding outdoor use.

Expandable Roll-Top

The adjustable roll-top grows from 30L to 40L, giving you extra room for clothing, food and outdoor essentials when a day out becomes a longer one. Multiple closure configurations suit everything from a compact photography kit to a fuller load.

17 Pockets and Dedicated Equipment Storage

A front slip pocket with adjustable compression straps takes extra layers, and a concealed zip pocket keeps small valuables close. Dual side pockets hold bottles up to 1L, and an internal sleeve fits a 16-inch laptop or hydration bladder, with a dedicated pass-through for the hose.

External retention straps and drawcords secure a tripod without using space inside the main compartment.

Weather-Resistant Recycled Construction

The outer shell is durable 100% recycled 400D Challenge ECOPAK polyester with a 70D ripstop backing and C0 durable water-repellent coating. PU-coated zips add protection against the elements, and the lining and webbing also use recycled materials.

The ECOPAK fabric itself is waterproof, but the complete backpack is weather-resistant rather than fully waterproof.

Waterproof Stratus Rain Cover Included

The included Stratus Rain Cover adds protection during heavy rain and demanding outdoor conditions. Made from waterproof recycled ripstop nylon, it features fully seam-taped construction and a tailored fit for the Helios backpack.

An elastic border and adjustable webbing strap help secure the cover, while reflective detailing and light grey fabric improve visibility in low light.

A compact pack-down pouch keeps the cover contained after use, helping to separate wet material from the rest of your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my kit fit in the Large Cube?

Urth specifies space for 1-2 DSLR or mirrorless bodies with lenses attached, plus 2-3 additional lenses and accessories. Repositionable dividers let you arrange the interior around your equipment, although actual capacity depends on the size of your gear.

Should I choose the Large Set or the Medium Set?

Choose the Large Set if you carry multiple lenses or a second body and want more padded storage. The Medium Set has a smaller 10L cube, leaving more of the main compartment free for clothing and personal belongings. The backpack and rain cover are identical in both.

Can I take the cube out and carry it separately?

Yes. It lifts out by its top handle, and the zippered front panel keeps your configured kit together when removed. Without the cube, the main compartment becomes general storage for hiking, travel or everyday use.

How much room is left for clothing and food?

The 14L cube occupies part of the main compartment, leaving space for personal belongings. The expandable roll-top increases total capacity from 30L to 40L when you need extra room for layers, food and other essentials.

How do I use the Stratus Rain Cover?

Pull the waterproof ripstop cover over the packed backpack and secure it in place. It packs away compactly when not needed and provides additional protection during heavy rain, as the backpack itself is weather-resistant rather than fully waterproof.
