The GoPro Seeker backpack, a quick look at GoPro’s camera backpack. If you are an avid GoPro user with multiple GoPro cameras this may be the backpack for you. The GoPro Seeker backpack is your ultimate pack for outdoor adventure seeking GoPro user. With it’s 16L of storage space you will have plenty of room to take all your GoPro accessories and some personal gear. One of my favorite features is the top camera compartment that has room for up to five GoPro cameras. Although this pocket can be configured any way with variable velcro dividers. The Seeker has plenty of storage for all your GoPro cameras, gimbals, and numerous mounts. The GoPro Seeker backpack will have your GoPro cameras and accessories well protected, even having a side pocket to accommodate a GoPro 3-way (not included with the Seeker backpack) or any other pole style mount enabling you to capture over the shoulder POV shoots. Another nice feature of this backpack has is a built in or integrated chest mount (as seen in pictures below) on the front straps. This feature is sure to make the GoPro Seeker especially appeal to extreme athletes like skiers, mountain bikers, and snowboarders. The GoPro Seeker backpack also has a hydration bladder pocket (bladder not included) it says it is a 2 liter size I have a Osprey packs 3L bladder thats fits fine just not completely filled with water. As for the pricing at $169.99 it’s a little pricey, but this pricing is reflected in the quality of this really nice backpack. If you are packing two or more GoPro cameras with accessories I don’t think the price of keeping that gear safe is out of line. Will there most likely be a Chinese knock off on Amazon for a fraction of the price within weeks of the GoPro Seeker release? Yes. That is fine, if you look at the pricing on quality camera gear (like F-Stop Gear) this is a steal for what you are getting in my mind.
The GoPro Casey is a perfect example of this. The Casey is $50, can you get a small GoPro case for much cheaper? Yes. GoPro makes quality cameras & camera gear. I know some people may not think this and that is fine not everything is as good as another, but overall GoPro tries an does produce good equipment. My opinion is take care of your gear and you will have it for a long time.

Absolutely love it
Looks like an amazing bag. I’m thinking about getting the seeker as my cycling commuter bag. I have a 15″ MacBook too, is there room for a change of clothes and some extra little bits with the laptop in there?
Maybe one change of clothes it’s not super big. The 13″ macbook fits better, But you can get the 15″ macbook in it I can confirm that.
Is backpack waterproof
It is not an officially a waterproof backpack. It is a rainproof design though with rain sealed zippers. Again not designed to be dunked in water, but it will keep things dry in rain.
