The Scout is my smallest and most minimalist camera bag, made for those who travel truly ultralight. I designed it specifically for popular compact cameras among ultralight backpackers, like the Sony RX100, Ricoh GR, or Fuji X100 series, and it starts at only 32g for the smallest version.

Unlike my larger camera bags, the Scout is designed to attach to a single shoulder strap. It includes elastic sleeves that you can feed your shoulder strap through. Alternatively, add carabiners to your order to attach it anywhere on your backpack. As a recent update, the Scout now features a glove-friendly buckle.

While it focuses on absolute minimal weight, the Scout doesn’t compromise on protection. It comes with 4mm padding as standard and features a roll-top design with taped seams, designed to keep your camera safe even in the worst weather. Meanwhile, the magnetic quick-flip system ensures quick access and security on the go.

Have a different compact camera? Choose the “Custom Bag” option and enter your camera’s dimensions. For the most ultralight setup, you can reduce the padding to 2mm and upgrade to Ultra 100 X fabric.

HOW TO MEASURE

1. Install your tripod plate if you use one.
2. Carefully measure your camera.

Leichtmut Ultralight Camera Bags for Hikers Leichtmut 23

Leichtmut Camera Bags are designed to be as light as possible, allowing you to conserve energy and stay focused on capturing the perfect shot.

What this means:

  • Made with high-quality ultralight materials like Challenge Sailcloth’s Ecopak EPLX, or the premium choice of Ultra 100 X fabric, offering an exceptional balance of being extremely light, yet incredibly strong and durable.

  • Equipped with 2-4 mm padding, our tested sweet spot that provides just the right amount of protection without adding unnecessary weight.

Leichtmut Camera Bags provide strong weather protection, keeping your gear safe from rain, snow and dust.

What this means:

  • The Rolltop Closure is designed for three rolls and thus forms a strong barrier against water entry.

  • The external fabric is fully waterproof. To prevent water from sneaking through stitch holes, all external seams are fully taped. To further minimize any risk, we designed the outer shell with as few seams as possible (consists of two pieces only!). 

Note: While the rolltop provides great protection against rain, it’s not designed for submersion.

The rolltop is designed to be unrolled once you clip in the camera bag or get ready to shoot. Then, our magnetic quick-flip system offers both instant access and sufficient protection on the move. 

How does it work?

  • When you fold the rolltop down, a magnet holds it securely in place.

  • To access your camera, simply lift and open the folded-down lid in a single movement.

You choose how you carry your Leichtmut Camera Bag, thanks to multiple attachment points and two included carabiners. 

You can …

  • clip the clips to cord loops on your shoulder strap (if you have webbing loops only, attach a piece of cord first)
  • clip two clips together around your shoulder strap
  • attach shock cord between the integrated cord loops
