MY DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Leichtmut Ultralight Camera Bags provide complete weather protection, keeping your gear safe from rain, snow, and dust. When you roll your bag closed, you’ll notice it bulges, trapping air inside like a balloon. This airtight effect is a clear sign that water can’t penetrate – what keeps air in, keeps water out.
Key Design Features:
Rolltop Closure
Minimal Seams
Taped Seams
I craft all my Leichtmut Camera Bags to be ultralight, allowing you to conserve energy and focus on what truly matters – never missing another shot. By removing unnecessary features and prioritizing essentials, I’ve created camera bags that support your adventures without holding you back.
Key Design Features:
Lightweight, Yet Durable Materials
Comfortable and Balanced Carry for More Energy
Ultralight but Spacious
My Leichtmut Ultralight Camera Bags provide strong weather protection, keeping your gear safe from rain, snow, and dust. With its rolltop design, it is similar to a dry bag for your camera. When you roll your bag closed, you’ll notice it bulges, trapping air inside like a balloon. This airtight effect is a clear sign that water has a hard time getting in – what keeps air in, keeps water out.
Key Design Features:
Rolltop Closure
Minimal Seams
Taped Seams
Missing a shot because you have to unzip a bag or take off your backpack shouldn’t happen—that’s why instant access is a top priority for my Leichtmut Camera Bags. Despite featuring rolltops, my bags are designed to be unrolled once you clip them in. With their magnetic quick-flip system, you keep the bag closed and protected but can reach your camera instantly. This means you’re always ready to capture the moment, whether it’s a sudden wildlife encounter or the perfect light on a mountain peak.
Key Design Features:
Magnetic Quick-Flip Access
Rolltop Height Designed for Easy Access
Whether you want your camera ready at your chest, hanging off your hip-belt, or tucked away on the side of your backpack, my Leichtmut Ultralight Camera Bags let you decide how to carry your gear. With multiple attachment points and carabiners, you can clip the bag wherever it suits you best. And since your Leichtmut Camera Bag is designed to protect from the elements, there’s no need to pack it away when the weather turns – just keep moving and stay focused on your next shot.
Even More Flexibility with Custom Sizing and Extra Space:
In addition to standard sizes, you can order a custom-sized Leichtmut Camera Bag that perfectly fits your gear. Plus, the Roamer Camera Bag offers enough space for a second or even third lens, allowing you to swap lenses quickly without taking off your backpack.

Thanks to my magnetic quick-flip system, you have instant access to your camera whilst keeping it protected at the same time.
Made from extremely light but durable materials. What you see here is Ultra (X), a popular fabric choice in ultralight backpacking gear.
Multiple attachment points offer flexibility in how you carry the bag. For instance, you can add carabiners on the lower loops to reduce sway.
Two included carabiners allow you to quickly and securely attach the camera bag to your backpack.
The rolltop is long enough for three rolls to protect against rain, yet short enough for easy access when worn in front of your chest.
Why is there no seam here? I've designed the bag with minimal seams to enhance waterproofing.
The shell fabric is waterproof and all seams are taped.
HI, I'M JACOB!
Hi, I’m Jacob! I live in Hamburg, Germany, and I’m the person behind Leichtmut, behind every camera bag, behind this website. It’s all just me, a one-person business!
But how did this all start? Simply said, I had enough of missing shots because my second lens was stowed away in my backpack or I had to put my camera away to protect it from the elements.
For years, I searched for a solution to have my camera and lenses always accessible and simultaneously protected. No commercial option ticked all my boxes … and so I started sewing.
Over time, I created my own ultralight camera bag, backpack and accessories. Now, I also make yours!
