Rock n Roll launches the Milano Backpack Black: The Big Little Backpack

Rock n Roll launches the Milano Backpack Black: The Big Little Backpack

Rock n Roll has launched the Milano Backpack Black, a compact camera backpack in black pebbled leather with a deep-red technical velvet lining. Its two-level layout is designed to keep the camera in use at the top and the rest of the equipment organised below, with access to both compartments from above.

A lift-up shelf separates the two camera compartments. Lifting it provides access to the lower level without having to lay the backpack down or open a front panel. The upper compartment accommodates up to a Leica SL3 with a zoom lens attached, while the lower compartment fits up to three Leica cameras with lenses. Capacity depends on the particular camera and lens combinations.

A separate rear compartment accommodates up to a 15-inch MacBook Air. A front zipped pocket holds a passport, phone and personal items, while an inner zipped pocket keeps SD cards and other small accessories organised.

For travel, a rear luggage pass-through sleeve lets the backpack slide over a trolley suitcase’s telescopic handle. Its compact size is designed to fit beneath an aircraft seat; travellers should check their airline’s personal-item limits.
