There is a tripod sling which can be attached to either the front or the side of the backpack and a Double-sided Elements Cover for protection in all weather and environment conditions rain or sunshine. It also includes an Aeriform camera strap which is light, flexible and airy and can be used individually or interconnected to the 2 designated loops on the backpack harness thus providing frontal carrying for the camera by using the shoulders instead of having an additional strap around the neck.
The pack is carried by padded handle or an advanced ergonomics harness system which includes: a Gecko Harness which is molded EVA foam harness straps that feature 3D tapered thickness so as to provide extra cushioning where it counts, micro hatch texture secures position firmly and comfortably and the shapely contour fits the body organically.

There are 2 specially designed connection loops for the optional Reflex E camera strap that is made to carry a digital SLR camera comfortably and take the camera load off the neck and an Insertrolley connection for optional wheel along transportation; when this is in use the harness simply tucks out of the way.
