Product Summary

Keep your camera kit protected and your pack practical. The Helios Medium Set combines a technical hiking backpack with a 10L Core Camera Cube and a waterproof Stratus Rain Cover. Configurable padded dividers hold your photography equipment securely, rear and side openings give quick access, and the compact size leaves more of the main compartment free for clothing, food and personal belongings.

A five-point adjustable harness, supportive internal frame and load lifters distribute weight comfortably on longer hikes. The expandable 30-40L roll-top adds space when the day demands it, and 17 pockets, external tripod carry and recycled Challenge ECOPAK fabric make this a versatile setup for photography adventures and travel.

Configurable Camera Protection for Outdoor Photography

The Medium Set includes a 10L Core Camera Cube M, with padded, configurable storage for DSLR or mirrorless equipment. Repositionable dividers let you arrange the interior around your kit, reinforced panels maintain its structure and a dedicated internal pocket keeps SD and CF memory cards separate and accessible.

A zippered front panel secures your equipment when the insert is removed, while an integrated top handle makes it easy to lift out.

Rear and Side Access to Your Equipment

The insert lines up with the rear and side openings, so you can reach your kit without unpacking your outdoor essentials. The full-length rear opening lets the pack lie flat for a clear view of your equipment, while the side opening gives quicker access to a camera during a shoot.

At 10L it takes up less room than the Large version, which suits photographers balancing camera equipment with hiking and travel essentials.

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, it is a supportive carry for demanding outdoor use.

Expandable Roll-Top

The adjustable roll-top grows from 30L to 40L, giving you extra room 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 pack.

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 is waterproof, but the complete backpack is weather-resistant rather than fully waterproof.

Waterproof Stratus Rain Cover Included

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

An elastic border and adjustable webbing strap secure it in place, while reflective detailing and light grey fabric improve visibility in low light. A compact pack-down pouch keeps wet material separate from the rest of your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my camera equipment fit?

The 10L insert suits DSLR or mirrorless equipment, and repositionable dividers let you shape the interior around your own bodies, lenses and accessories. Capacity depends on the size of your gear, so check your largest camera and lens combination before choosing.

Should I choose the Medium Set or the Large Set?

The Medium Set suits a lighter kit and leaves more room for clothing and hiking essentials. If you carry multiple lenses or a second body, the Large Set’s 14L cube adds camera space. The backpack and rain cover are the same in both.

Can I carry the insert separately?

Yes. The top handle lifts it out, and the zippered front panel keeps your configured kit together. Without it, the space becomes general storage for hiking, travel or everyday use.

How much room is left for clothing and food?

The insert takes up only part of the main compartment, and unrolling the top adds up to 10L for extra layers, food and overnight essentials.

When should I use the Stratus Rain Cover?

Pull it over the packed bag when heavy rain arrives, then stow it in its pouch until you need it again.
