Manfrotto launches UNCOVER adaptive camera bags

Manfrotto's new UNCOVER range swaps between everyday carry and camera use. Four bags, from a $140 sling to a $330 backpack, are available now.

Manfrotto has launched UNCOVER, a range of four camera bags pitched at hybrid creators and anyone who doesn't want to drop a lot of money on something purely  specific to photography. The line includes two backpacks (24 L and 30 L) and two crossbody bags (a 7 L sling and a 12 L messenger), all of which it's introducing with the tagline "You don't live life in one mode."

Adaptable design

The bags are designed to switch between everyday carry and camera use rather than functioning as dedicated camera bags. The backpacks use a SmartLift compartment and roll-top construction, allowing them to expand or compress depending on load. The top section extends to fit additional gear, and a removable camera insert lets the bag switch between camera carry and general use.

The exterior is made from TriTex, a custom three-layer fabric built for durability and water resistance. Additional protection comes from a coated base and YKK water-resistant zippers. Organization features include quick side access, a dedicated AirTag pocket, and a laser-cut FlexGrid front panel for attaching accessories. The backpacks also have extra harness padding and a ventilated back panel.

Pricing and availability

The UNCOVER range is available now through Manfrotto retailers worldwide. The 7 L sling is $140, the 12 L messenger is $180, the 24 L backpack is $300, and the 30 L backpack is $330.
