MindShift Gear Updates Moose Peterson Photo Packs

Santa Rosa, CA—Working in partnership with renowned wildlife photographer Moose Peterson, MindShift Gear updated the three classic Moose Peterson backpacks. Initially designed for wildlife and safari photographers, the backpacks feature a three-compartment layout that helps protect gear from the elements.

Moreover, the Moose Pack series, MP-1, MP-5 and MP-7, is available in three sizes. The backpacks can carry up to three DSLR camera bodies with telephoto lenses attached—up to 600mm f/4. As a result, photographers are ready to capture wildlife at any distance without changing lenses or exposing the sensor to the elements.

In addition, the backpacks feature the same “Moose Ear” flaps that close automatically, protecting camera gear from dust, spray and debris common in wildlife photography. And because nature photographers often travel to remote locations, the packs are designed to meet airline carry-on requirements and fit in the overhead compartments of smallest regional jets.

“Moose Peterson backpacks are renowned for serving the needs of traveling photographers,” said Doug Murdoch, CEO and lead designer. “It has been a joy collaborating with him on bringing these classic designs back to the marketplace.  While their design and materials have been enhanced, the designs of all three backpacks retain Moose’s original vision.”

Other Shared Features

Other features include: a tuck-away harness system with removable waist belt to streamline the bag when loading it in a train, plane or automobile (MP-1/MP-3); a tripod/monopod mounting system on the side and front; a flap guard to protect the front zippers; RC Fuse YKK zippers; and also a dual-density foam padded shoulder harness, cushioned with air mesh. There are also zippered side pockets to fit full-size flashes (MP-7) and a stretch water bottle pocket that accommodates a 32-ounce bottle.

The packs are constructed of durable 600D and 420D nylon, and a seam-sealed rain cover/drop cloth is included. All exterior fabric has a water-repellent coating, plus the underside of the fabric has a polyurethane coating.
