National Geographic and Manfrotto Present the Australia Collection

National Geographic and Manfrotto’s mutual love of photography has inspired the two brands to collaborate on a new product launch. The National Geographic Australia Collection is inspired by the ochre-pigmented sands and soils of The Australian Outback, and the dazzling blue seas that hem the continent’s breathtakingly beautiful coasts. The interior fabric of the collection’s camera bags features a colourful eucalyptus-leaf print evocative of Australia’s forest canopies. The durable, deftly crafted internal compartment design features the renowned Manfrotto Protection System. These classically stylish bags provide world-travelling photographers a place to safely store their equipment wherever their adventures take them.

High-quality materials

Both highly attractive and well-functioning, the design of all products in the collection has been achieved through the careful arrangement of premium leather and fabric pieces embellished with stylistic elements relevant to Australia’s natural beauty.

Superior protection for photography equipment

Cushiony internal dividers, expertly engineered to safeguard cameras and other electronic devices, form storage spaces inside each bag. Thanks to adjustable Velcro straps on the dividers, these spaces can be reconfigured in many ways to accommodate equipment pieces of varying shapes and sizes.

Versatile carrying solution

The National Geographic Australia Collection includes five different products, each able to hold a variety of different sets of photography-related equipment.
