Experience sleek city chic – these bags are the perfect companion to take with you for an early morning meeting to a night on the town.
High-Quality Versatile City Bags
Manfrotto’s Manhattan range is made of high-quality materials, with careful attention to aesthetics down to the finest details.

They also have innovative tripod connections hidden underneath and non-slip bumpers for extra stability in use.
The new removable camera insert safeguards your gear at the heart of the bag and is secured inside the bag with Velcro straps. This smart photography insert easily comes out in an instant and keeps gear safe when not in use.
Manfrotto’s new Flexy Camera Shell divider system combines uncompromising protection with never-before-seen flexibility, securing most of today’s top DSLR/CSC models. There’s never a need to change camera bags to accommodate different types of photography gear: simply shape the ultra-versatile dividers according to your choice of kit and you’re ready to go in an instant.
The new Manhattan Collection is not only feature-rich and great to look at – the bags are made of resistant ballistic fabric, premium zippers and pullers that enable prolonged use. The coated material on the bottom part can easily be wiped clean. The external fabric is water-repellent and a rain protector is additionally supplied for convenience.
The Manhattan Mover-50 Camera Backpack holds a medium-level DSLR with a 70/200mm f2.8 lens attached and four additional lenses, flash and Premium CSC with a standard zoom lens attached and one additional lens.
