Battle The Ground With Bodypack Battle Series

Travel and photography are two things that you just can’t really separate. I once traveled by train and tried not to take pictures, but I couldn’t help myself, grabbed my camera, and started taking pictures. Last year, I got my first camera, like a real camera. As soon as I got it, my desire to capture moments, taking pictures is getting bigger. Almost every day, I never left without my camera. I am not a professional photographer, but you are never too old to start learning something new. The needed to bring my camera around with me follows with the required to have a good backpack that can support me to bring my camera and other stuff along with it.

Bodypack Battle Ground 1.0

Known as one of the most lifestyle fashion products in Indonesia, Bodypack gives the dynamic and creative youngsters who love bringing notebooks, cameras, and gadgets. The backpack was really simple. It fits all my work stuff like a laptop and a few clothes. The clean, uncluttered exterior gives this pack a vibe that’s both urban-smart and backcountry-savvy. It’s also remarkably abrasion-resistant. A water-resistant, panel-loading zipper opens the backpack like a roll-top bag, making it more travel-friendly than a typical top-loader.

Even though the back panel has no air channels, my back got sweaty on hot days. I think it was because there is a laptop compartment on the back panel. I used this backpack for the first time when I went to South Korea for 10 days road trip in early 2017. While thinking for a camera backpack that also fits with my other stuff like laptop, clothes, etc.

Every move has a story.

I recommend this backpack to daily backpackers better, especially for those who need to bring a camera compartment every day. I used it for 10 days road trip around South Korea, 2 days backpacking around Singapore , 4 days backpacking around Bali, and 3 days in Yogyakarta. The bag went with me on a long walk, and I was fine at the beginning, but because I brought other things than just a camera with 2 lenses and a laptop, when I reached 6 km, the bag was starting to feel heavy. Though I was only adding some toiletries and a few clothes. Note that I ONLY brought this backpack for those road trip backpacking I mentioned above.

As I was doing street photography, It was really good because it made me easy when I needed to grab my camera, I just swung the bag and opened the camera compartment located on the backpack’s side. The front pocket was almost useless (at least for me) since it was too tight, making it hard to add items in it. However, everything was excellent as long as you don’t carry other stuff that will make the bag heavier.

The other similar bag is Battle Jungle 1.0 with the same design and compartments like Battle Ground 1.0, but different colors and looks. Both of them are perfect for photo hunters.
