The Lyra Camera Backpack
The Kamrette Lyra Camera Backpack is a stylish and functional camera bag designed for photographers who prefer the luxury of a backpack. The Lyra fits DSLR and mirrorless cameras, lenses, a 16" laptop, and all your accessories. It also features a travel sleeve and uses a clever concept to fit more than you might expect!
What fits
What fits inside the Lyra Camera Backpack?
The Lyra fits DSLR and mirrorless camera kits, with room for 1 to 2 camera bodies, 3 to 4 lenses, a 16-inch laptop, and your everyday accessories. The front compartment is designed for camera gear, while the rear compartment keeps your laptop separate and protected.
For lens sizing, the maximum lens size is 8 inches, and a 70-200 lens fits comfortably. If you carry multiple camera bodies, battery packs, or larger lenses, your exact fit will depend on how you configure the dividers. Oversized bodies such as the Canon 1D and Nikon D4 will need to be packed flat rather than standing upright.
Travel & Organisation
Built for photographers who travel
The Lyra is designed to move easily between photoshoots, airport travel, and everyday use. A built-in luggage sleeve allows the backpack to sit securely over your suitcase handle, while the separate laptop compartment helps keep work essentials organised and easy to access.

The Lyra is made in vegan leather in Tan, Black, and Olive. The exterior is custom made, scratch resistant, and easy to clean. Inside, built-in closed-cell foam helps protect your equipment while keeping the bag structured. Premium SBS zippers complete the build with a smooth, durable finish.
