Manfrotto’s new Manhattan line of camera bags are feature-rich and highly adaptable based on what’s in your kit. As lifestyle bags for the city, presentation and durability are also key elements in their design. Here’s a closer look at the three introductory options of the Manhattan collection, the Mover-50 backpack, the Speedy-10 messenger, and the Changer-20 shoulder bag.
The Manhattan bags have an exterior that is water-resistant with a coated material on the bottom side that can be wiped clean. They use resistant ballistic fabric with premium zippers and pulls. All three come with an removable rain hood that can be deployed during inclement weather on your commute.
Each bag has padded media compartments, hidden pockets, and straps for securing travel-sized tripods or other items. The new Flexy Camera Shell removable insert is used to store your camera kit in the bags and are secured by Velcro straps.
