Camera backpacks are nothing new. But those designed for the rigors of alpine use – whether for mountaineering, skiing, snowboarding, or cycling – are less common. It’s not so simple to combine the requirements for safely transporting photographic equipment with those of a high-quality outdoor backpack, but the deuter Jaypack Pro was created to break that pattern.
The deuter design team took the opportunity to completely rethink what defines a camera backpack for outdoor activities. Using deuter’s extensive experience in alpine backpack design and working in collaboration with professional outdoor photographers and filmmakers, they created a highly versatile camera backpack. The deuter Jaypack Pro 34+14, with its many functional features, smart organization, and comfortable carry, makes it a pleasure to work in the most challenging terrain and weather conditions. This means photographers can focus entirely on capturing images and video without worrying about equipment safety or comfort.
When it comes to outdoor photo or video shoots, a camera backpack needs to do more than just carry photographic gear. Whether you’re hiking in the mountains, climbing, cycling, or ski touring, the back system also needs to be up to the task. That’s why the Jaypack Pro 34+14 is equipped with deuter’s Alpine back system. It creates a compact, body-hugging fit to ensure better stability and balance when tackling technical terrain with a heavy load. This latest version of the Alpine back system also distributes the weight of camera gear effectively and provides good ventilation. This means the Jaypack Pro 34+14 reduces back strain and helps achieve more controlled movement during outdoor sports. In short, the Jaypack Pro 34+14 offers exceptional ergonomic comfort in use.
And when it comes to ease of handling, the Jaypack Pro 34+14 also stands out. This is thanks to a series of functional features, such as the ultra-tough matte black body material, which is water-repellent to protect your photographic equipment from moisture. In addition to the zipper of the main compartment, all zippers on the backpack are waterproof. A protective mesh cover can be used to keep the main compartment open – allowing you to change lenses with relative protection from snow, rain, and dust.
Access to the main compartment and photographic equipment is via a rear panel with zipper. Camera gear can also be accessed through a side opening in the backpack. As with other professional camera backpacks, the main compartment for camera bodies and lenses is subdivided with velcro dividers.
Above the main compartment, there is plenty of space to store a drone. Handles at the top and bottom allow this backpack to be carried short distances when open. To ensure all this valuable equipment is transported safely, the deuter Jaypack Pro 34+14 has a reinforced frame and padded protection.
The Jaypack Pro 34+14 is also fully functional in alpine environments. Side straps are designed to hold skis or tripods. And when not in use, a mesh side pocket has room for a water bottle. Gear straps on the front of the backpack can be used to secure a snowboard, extra tripods, or other equipment.
The front zippered compartment holds avalanche gear for quick access, such as a probe and emergency shovel. These items can be accessed without having to remove equipment strapped to the outside of the backpack. In addition, it also features an ice axe holder on the front of the pack.
Extra space in the deuter JayPack Pro backpack
The Jaypack Pro 34+14 is highly versatile. Beneath the second zipper in the lid, you’ll find a roll-top extension (similar to the closure of dry bags). This extension sits above the main compartment that houses the camera bodies and lenses and can be isolated from the main compartment via a zipper. This space adds 14 liters of extra capacity; the roll-top compartment has room for extra clothing or other outdoor gear.
The hip belt, with wide stabilizing fins, is removable, making this backpack compatible with climbing harness use.
And since filming and photography missions always require a range of other small items, the Jaypack Pro 34+14 features a removable organization unit and multiple zippered pockets and compartments.
The deuter JayPack Pro 34+14 is made of water-repellent fabric. And none of the materials contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This backpack is also certified by ClimatePartner.
In summary: the deuter Jaypack Pro 34+14 is nothing less than a high-performance camera backpack, mountain-ready, built to capture images in the toughest terrain. Its robust, weather-resistant construction, smart access options, and expert-designed back system make this backpack the top choice for mountain sports photographers and filmmakers.
