Fast & Light Sequence 23L Camera Backpack (Getting Started Guide)

Introduction

Hey, I’m Desy — and this is the Backpack from Moment’s Fast & Light Camera Bag Collection .

This is a sample unit, so a few small details will change before the full release — I’ll call those out as we go. Be sure to check out the video linked above for a more visuals.

But overall, this 23L camera backpack is built to carry more camera gear without turning into a tank. It stays light, flexible, and genuinely easy to organize so you spend less time rearranging foam blocks and more time shooting in the outdoors.

What’s in the Box

From the source guide only (not a factory packing list):

• Four low-profile Velcro dividers (described as included with the backpack)
• Built-in customizable pop-up padded shelving (integral to the bag)

Step-by-Step Setup

The source is a feature walkthrough rather than a numbered quick-start card. These steps use only setup and packing tips stated there; order is best-effort for first-time pack-out.

1. Open the top main zip for wide access into the compartment so you can pack and grab gear quickly.

2. Set the padded shelf height to match your primary camera body with lens attached.

3. Use the Velcro dividers to make snug lanes for a second body, primes, or a telephoto. Reconfigure later by rip-and-restick.

4. Use the elastic stretch webbing keepers as soft holsters for smaller lenses, action cams, filters, or a compact power bank—slide in and cinch.

5. Pack heavy items closer to your back and higher on the shelf.

⚠️ Tip: Pack heavy items closer to your back and higher on the shelf. Your shoulders will thank you after a long day.

6. For on-strap charging: place a slim battery bank in the right shoulder mesh pocket, thread a cable through the pass-through, and route it up the strap to your phone or camera.

⚠️ Tip: Use a short, right-angle cable for a cleaner run along the strap. Coil any extra length inside the pocket so it doesn’t snag.

7. Put the bag on, pull the load adjusters to draw weight closer to your back, then snap the magnetic sternum strap where it feels comfortable (it slides for chest height). Add the removable waist strap when you want extra stability.

Using the Product

Top Access

Start at the top. The main compartment opens with a wide zip that gives you a quick look and easy reach into the entire bag. If you’re in a rush, you can pop it open on the fly, grab your camera, and be rolling in seconds.

Right up by that opening there’s a top zip stash pocket — the first-place-you-check spot. A great spot that you can toss in your wallet, earplugs, or spare battery. There’s a key clip inside too, so your keys don’t vanish into the abyss.

Main Compartment

Inside the main cavity is the good stuff, and our most prized and standout feature: like a built-in, customizable pop-up padded shelving system. It acts like an adjustable loft that lifts your camera kit right where your hand naturally reaches, so you don't have to dig for a lens at the bottom of a pit. Additionally, the backpack comes with four low-profile Velcro dividers that helps organize this section for your gear.

Start by placing the “shelf” at a height that matches your primary camera body with lens attached; then use the dividers to create snug lanes for your second body, a couple of primes, or that hefty telephoto. If your kit changes later, rip-and-restick takes mere seconds.

You’ll also find two elastic stretch webbing keepers that act like soft holsters for smaller lenses, action cams, filters, or a compact power bank. Slide the item in, cinch it, and it stays put.

⚠️ Tip: Pack heavy items closer to your back and higher on the shelf. Your shoulders will thank you after a long day, trust me.

On-The-Go Charging

Look at the right shoulder strap — there’s a mesh stretch pocket sized for a slim battery bank. Drop your bank in there, thread a cable through the built-in pass-through, and route it up the strap to your phone or camera (watch the video if you need a look-see).

You can hike, shoot, and charge without dangling cords or stuffing power bricks into your jeans. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference on travel days or long event shoots.

⚠️ Tip: Use a short, right-angle cable for a cleaner run along the strap. Coil any extra length inside the pocket so it doesn’t snag.

Front Clamshell

The front of the bag opens clamshell-style — meaning the whole panel zips wide so you can lay the pack flat like a suitcase. You'll note that on top of the zipper is a magnetic rain flap that adds a slick layer of weather protection.

On the inside face of that clamshell you’ll find two zippered stash pockets. They’re perfect for flat or loose items like filters, wallets, SD cards, cleaning cloths, lav mics, and extra cables.

These pockets sport a beautiful salmon-colored lining so small black bits don’t disappear, which is a simple way to make finding things way faster.

Straps & Carry System

The shoulder straps are inspired by running vests that are equal parts broad, breathable, and designed to stay comfy mile after mile. Each strap has its own pocket layout so you can load them how you like.

On one strap there’s a zip pocket that’ll fit a phone, passport, or a small notebook. This is great for boarding passes at the gate or quick reference notes during a shoot.

On the other strap, a mesh stash pocket with its own cable pass-through pairs perfectly with the shoulder battery setup. Drop a spare battery or a pair of compact earbuds here and route a cable cleanly if you want.

At the top of each strap you’ll find load adjusters. After you put the bag on, gently pull those to draw the weight closer to your back; which makes it so that the bag will stop feeling like it’s trying to lean away from you. Snap the magnetic sternum strap where it’s comfortable on your chest— it clicks in with one hand and slides up and down to match your chest height.

There’s also a removable waist strap for when you’re hoofing it over distance or need extra stability on stairs and trails. Clip it on for travel days, and simply stash it when you want a cleaner silhouette around town.

The back panel has perforated foam which vents heat and dries fast, so you don’t end up with a swampy back after a quick sprint to catch golden hour.

Water Bottle Pockets

On both sides you’ve got stretchy mesh pockets that'll swallow a 1-liter Nalgene bottle, a compact tripod, or even a travel umbrella.

If you’re strapping in a tripod, slide one leg down into the pocket and secure the upper section to the side of the bag with a strap or bungee. If you’re carrying two beer cans (been there), the mesh grips pretty tightly so you don't have to worry about anything slipping out.

Final Thoughts

The Sequence 23L is built to carry more camera gear without turning into a tank—light, flexible, and easy to organize so you spend less time rearranging foam and more time shooting.
