“Did you get the shot?” If you’re used to hearing that phrase while out on a ride, EVOC’s new Photography collection might be for you. EVOC has already offered some great options for the traveling and riding photographer/videographer, but now they’ve expanded the line with some interesting options for anyone from amateurs to professionals.
Hip Pack Capture 7L
For the minimalists out there, the new Hip Pack Capture 7L is a purpose built hip pack to carry your cameras. Built with a bunch of pockets for storage in and out, the pack includes a rain cover and can even carry a small tripod. Adjustments to the fit can be made with the VENTI FLAP system while riding, and the ventilated waist belt should keep things comfortable.

Photop 16L + Photop 22L

Both the 16L and the 22l include its own Camera Block with the 16L shipping with the CB 3L and the 22L shipping with a CB 9L. These allow you to use the Photop as a photo bag, or quickly remove the block and use it as a daypack instead.

Professional CP 18L, CP 26L, CP 35L, CT 40L
Need to carry all the gear? The CP line continues with three different sizes depending on your needs. I’ve been using a CP 26L for a while now, and for the most part, it’s been a stellar partner for domestic and international travel when I need to bring a lot of gear.
The CP 18L is the smallest of the bunch, and instead of the entire back panel unzipping to access the camera compartment, it has a rear hatch on the lower half only. But like all of the CP line you can also access the main camera body though the side port too.
CP 18L
• Volume: 18 l
• Dimensions: 52 x 29 x 17 cm
• Weight: 1730g
• Colors: gold or black
• Camera compartment: 26 x 26.5 x 16.5 cm
• Compatible with: EVOC CB 3l camera block in the side compartment
• Price: $250
The CP 26L is quite a bit larger, but importantly – it’s about as big of a backpack as you can fit under most airplane seats. When you have a bunch of expensive gear and you’re on a small plane without overhead bin space, that’s an important detail. To access the camera storage section, the entire back panel unzips for easy access, plus there’s the side port, as well as a zippered pass through in the upper compartment.
CP 26L
• Volume: 26 l
• Dimensions: 52 x 30 x 17 cm
• Weight: 2400g
• Colors: gold or black

• Hip belt: Adjustable lengthways from 80 – 125 cm
• Compatible with: EVOC CB 6l camera block in the side compartment
• Price: $330
The big dog is the CP 35L – which is large enough to fit bigger drones if needed.
CP 35L
• Volume: 35 l
• Dimensions: 55 x 34 x 19 cm
• Weight: 2700g
• Color: black
• Camera compartment: 41 x 33.5 x 17.5 cm
• Hip belt: Adjustable lengthways from 80 – 125 cm
• Compatible with: EVOC CB 6l camera block in the side compartment
• Price: $400
If you find yourself playing in the snow as much as playing on bikes, the CP Line can be useful for the ability to carry snowboards, skis, and other gear like ice axes.
If you need to carry more gear but it doesn’t need to go on your back, the new CT 40L is a purpose built roller bag for your carry-on needs. Like most EVOC bags with wheels, it features widely spaces skate wheels with ball bearings for easy rolling.
CT 40L
• Volume: 40 l
• Dimensions: 55 x 38 x 21 cm
• Weight: 3350g
• Colors: black
• Price: $430
CB 3L, CB 6L
Last but not least, the new Camera Blocks that come as part of the Photop bags are also available separately. These can be used to safely store your camera when it’s in another bag, or you can use it as a stand alone camera bag.
Available in 3L or 6L sizes, the blocks have adjustable inner storage compartments like all of the photo series, and a single zippered pocket.
With the included shoulder strap, you can carry the camera inside the block around your shoulder as well.
