Tamrac 5588 Expedition 8x Backpack

The Tamrac Expedition 8x is Tamrac's largest backpack for carrying the most extensive collection of photo equipment. The main compartment is completely foam padded with numerous adjustable, foam-padded dividers to protect multiple pro-size digital or film SLRs, a full range of lenses, and flashes. A camera with a long zoom lens attached is suspended on two vertical, foam-padded dividers that are internally reinforced with rigid plastic. Restraint straps hold the lens firmly in place. Three Windowpane-Mesh pockets inside the front flap visibly organize filters and other accessories. A plastic, foam-padded platform in bottom provides shock protection while a LockDown rain flap protects the zipper from the elements.
 
Foam-padded Computer Pocket
New foam-padded front pocket with water-resistant zipper protects laptops with up to 17" screens and provides easy access without disturbing photo gear.

Dual Hinge Divider System
New Dual Hinge Divider System adjusts to allow two digital or film SLRs to be carried with lenses attached.

"Wing" Accessory Pockets
Dual "wing" pockets with water-resistant zippers organize and provide quick access to important accessories without disturbing your other gear. These "wing" pockets also feature Tamrac's patented Memory Battery Management System that uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up.

QuickClip Tripod Attachment System
A tripod is cradled (centered and balanced) securely between these pockets with Tamrac's QuickClip tripod attachment system while the lower plastic-reinforced Tripod Foot Pocket holds two tripod legs secure.

The Harness
The state-of-the-art harness system features Dual-Density Comfort Pads that provide maximum carrying comfort while Air Flow Channels help keep you cool and dry during extended use. The pack is also equipped with a BioCurve dual-pivoting waist belt to provide a wide range of adjustment. Cinch straps on the shoulder harness and waist belt, and an expandable sternum strap allow finer adjustments for maximum comfort. The harness also features "D" rings that accept Tamrac's optional backpack camera strap (Model N-11).

M.A.S. and S.A.S. Compatible
Strap Accessory System (S.A.S.) and Modular Accessory System (M.A.S.) attachment slots on the pack provide a convenient place to carry Tamrac's optional M.A.S. and S.A.S. products (shown on right). Four SpiderTabs provide additional attachment points for expedition equipment or extra clothing.
