Tamrac's Expedition 6x Photo/Laptop Backpack
The newest addition to the popular Expedition Series, the 6x is a medium-size pack for a generous amount of photo equipment.

Lightweight (at 5 lbs) yet rugged, the main compartment is foam padded to protect photo gear.

A new, completely foam-padded front pocket provides quick access to most 14.1" laptops, without disturbing photo gear. A new Dual Hinge Divider System adjusts to accommodate a second D-SLR with lens attached plus there are two "wing" accessory pockets that provide quick access to important accessories and feature Tamrac's patented Memory & Battery Management System for identifying available memory cards and batteries. A QuickClip Tripod Attachment System holds a tripod centered and balanced and there's a state-of-the-art harness system that provides maximum carrying comfort for extended use.
