Manfrotto Advanced² Camera Messenger wins best designer camera bag

Editor's Choice Award

Congratulations to Manfrotto. Its Advanced² Camera Messenger carrier for DSLR and mirrorless cameras is our pick for the best designer camera bag on the market currently.

Announced last year, back in September Manfrotto revealed a new line of Advanced² camera bags, the Advanced² Camera Messenger being one of them. The bag itself is 14-inches and holds camera gear like the Canon 5D Mark IV. There’s also a small hidden tripod holder. The bag is also built to withstand rain. And you can get the bag for $110. Those just are some of the reasons it is our pick for the best designer camera bag.
