New backpack arrived - op1 friendly

Hey dudes,

I just copped my new backpack.

It’s a photographers backpack, but my aim was to use it for audio gear + laptop (& of course 0P1)… I am stoked to say that the op1 fits snugly in the top section, without a case, it’s wedged against either side, with easy access and I’m confident that it’s fully protected … there are HEAPS of compartments in this bag for everything from cables to a dedicated 15 inch laptop sleeve and removable waist support for big hikes or extra heavy days, even a weather proof bag cover if you get caught out in a storm.

I copped one for $150 on eBay from Hong Kong or something… I was worried it was a fake account, cause they were going for like $280 here… Anyways, unless the bag is a knock off ( a very convincing one), then I’ve done very well.

My previous back pack was cool, but one big issue was that there was only one entry pint from the top, and everything would get tangled… I almost always have my op1 & laptop with me, so I need better.

I’ll post a pic to how the op1 fits if anyone is interested.

Nice find! Is the webbing compatible with the Unit Portables case?

I’m not sure what you mean?

By “webbing” I meant the fabric strip & loops where you can attach / detach bags and accessories.

Oh, yeah I was thinking spiderman, but I’m a huge nerd… I’m not sure, but I can post pics / measurements of it?


There are loops all over this thing! It comes with a random stuff zipper pouch, a lil pouchy for the bottom of your tripod (or other use), a little perforated bag (not sure it’s purpose yet :p), a drink holder, and a wet weather thing that covers the bag… Such value…

That is an awesome backpack, would be cool if you could post a photo of the op1 in it :slight_smile:
Wonder if I could fit a SP404SX/op1/Digitakt in there :o
Go for some forest jam sessions

Thanks! That looks great. Hmm might have to look into getting one of these.

That’s a fantastic backpack; it’d be great if you could provide a picture of the Op1 wearing it: slight smile:
I’m wondering if an SP404SX/op1/Digitakt could fit in there.
