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.
Despite its low weight, the Scout doesn’t compromise on protection. It comes with 4mm padding, and with its roll-top and taped seams it’s designed to protect your gear even in the worst weather. The quick access magnetic lid allows you to reach your camera without slowing you down, and the included adjustable straps mean you can easily attach it to just a single backpack shoulder strap!
Attachment Options
My favorite way to carry this ultralight camera bag is with the provided straps on a single shoulder. But you can explore additional attachment options above, including hip-belt connectors or a simple waist belt, plus I’m developing additional options at the time. Thanks to the two full rows of cord loops, you can flexible change, experiment with, and come up with new attachment version yourself.

I create each bag by hand and weights can vary slightly. Weights are measured without straps.
Shell:
Choice of Ecopak EPLX 200, Ultra 100 X or X-Pac RX30.
EcoPak EPLX 200 is my standard fabric—eco-friendly, lightweight, and durable. Choose X-Pac RX30 if you’d like more beautiful color options (and don’t mind a little extra weight). For the toughest tear and abrasion resistance at the lowest weight, pick Ultra 100X with its extra-strong UHMWPE fibers.
Padding:
4 mm Evazote EV50
Liner:
Dyneema® Composite Fabric CT2K.18, 34gsm
I’ve designed my camera bags to be as light as possible (whilst still providing full protection), 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 ultralight choice of Ultra 100X /200X fabrics, offering an exceptional balance of being extremely light, yet incredibly strong and durable.
Equipped with 4 mm padding, my tested sweet spot that provides just the right amount of protection without adding unnecessary weight.
I use Dyneema Composite Fabrics as the liner for my camera bags. You might know this fabric from very expensive ultralight backpacking tents and think this is a bit overkill. But it’s incredibly lightweight, waterproof and can be taped!
Don’t waste any weight: I’m happy to make you a custom-sized camera bag to perfectly fit your gear!
My 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. This is superior to camera bags with zippers (even if the zip keeps water out, the zipper seams that can’t really be taped let water in).
Both the external fabric and internal liner are fully waterproof. To make the best use of this, I’ve designed my camera bags with as few seams as possible. All remaining seams (except for the hem that’s hidden in the rolls) are taped to prevent water sneaking through the stitch holes.
Typical camera bags would sew the external fabric and internal liner together to sandwich the padding in-between. I don’t do this, because this makes it impossible to properly tape and seal the camera bag! Instead, I tape my liner to the inside of the shell. This eliminates extra seams and actually improves water protection thanks to my chosen waterproof liner fabric.
Note: While the rolltop provides excellent protection against rain, it’s not designed for submersion.
The rolltop is designed to be unrolled once you’re ready to hike or get ready to shoot. Then, my magnetic quick-flip system offers both quick access and sufficient protection on the move.
How does it work?
Magnets clip both sides of the rolltop together. When you fold the rolltop down, another magnet holds it securely in place.
To access your camera, simply lift and open the folded-down lid in a single movement.
The rolltop height is carefully designed not to get in the way, even when the bag sits in front of your chest.
You decide how you carry your camera bag outdoors – thanks to multiple attachment points, two included carabiners and lots of additional attachment options.
Use carabiners or shoulder strap connectors to attach to daisy chain on your backpack shoulder straps
Use hip-belt connectors to attach to the side of your hip-belt. You can feed your hip-belt through the connectors and cinch them tight, or feed the connectors through attachment points on your hip-belt to additionally secure your bag.
A simple shoulder sling or waist belt allows you to carry your camera bag without a backpack. In case of the shoulder sling, I recommend the custom upgrade of extra side attachment points for a more balanced and comfortable carry.
My standard camera bag is designed to be ultralight, protective and quickly accessible – full focus on these features, nothing else. But you can configure your custom bag to add options that make it the perfect camera bag for you!
