The Tamrac 5550 Adventure 10 Backpack (Red/Black) is a backpack that carries and protects a Pro digital or film SLR with a grip and a lens up to 8.0&quot attached, additional lenses, a flash, accessories and a laptop. The backpack has a lower section that is a completely foam-padded camera bag compartment and an upper section that functions like a traditional backpack to hold a light jacket, lunch or other personal items. A separate, completely foam-padded compartment provides quick access to a laptop (such as an Apple 17&quot PowerBook G4 and other laptops up to 15 1/2 x 11 x 2.0&quot) without disturbing photo gear.

The 5550 main compartment features double zipper pulls that provide quick access to photo gear while a weather flap and quick-release buckles provide security and weather protection. Inside, foam pillars support the camera with lens attached, ready for action, while adjustable, foam-padded dividers protect other equipment. There is a front pocket that features the Memory & Battery Management System that uses red flags to identify which memory cards and batteries are available. A Windowpane-Mesh pocket organizes filters, cables and other accessories. The foam-padded lower camera compartment has a weather flap and quick-release buckle for security and weather protection.

The 5550 has two mesh pockets on the sides, which provide quick access to accessories and water bottles. The comfortable, foam-padded backpack harness with sternum strap is contoured to distribute the weight of the camera gear across the shoulders and features a padded waist belt to help distribute the weight of the pack. Two lash tabs on the bottom of the backpack can accommodate a compact tripod (requires Model S-113 accessory straps). It features the S.A.S. (Strap Accessory System) attachment with points for customizing the bags with optional accessories and the M.A.S. (Modular Accessory System) attachment slots allow you to add optional accessories.
