The Bluetti Handsfree 1 and Handsfree 2 backpacks are built with hikers, photographers, and other digital nomads in mind, featuring a removable app-controlled portable power station for days off-grid.

If you're planning a long hike, extended photoshoot, or just time away camping, packing your backpack is a crucial operation. Ensure you've got plenty of space for all of your equipment and hours of battery available to keep everything operational with Bluetti's new Handsfree Backpack.

There are two models available with a removable portable power station. The compact Bluetti Handsfree 1 has a 300W/268Wh battery, and the larger Handsfree 2 has a 700W/512Wh battery.

If you're looking for a lightweight solution for remote photography, the Bluetti Handsfree 1 comes with a 42L BluePack1 fit for 1 to 3 days of use. Extend that time with portable solar panels or AC Turbocharging that'll get you back to your hike with 80% battery in 1.5 hours.

The Bluetti Handsfree 2 comes with a 60L BluePack2 meant to last 3 to 5 days for off-grid life. Whether you're hitting the trail or planning an extended remote photography retreat, powering your devices will never be a concern with this model.

The only difference between Handsfree 1 and Handsfree 2 is the capacity of the backpack and battery. Both have the same port configuration, and the portable power station can be removed for easier charging via AC outlets or solar panels.

They come with an AC outlet, two 100W USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports. Connect multiple devices and charge them simultaneously, even while charging the battery itself.

Packing a standard bag requires thinking through which batteries you'll want to bring, ensuring you have the right cables, and making space for it all. Not to mention it is a careful art balancing all of these heavy objects in your bag.

With the Bluetti Handsfree Series, all of the complexity of packing a travel bag is removed. The BluePack bags are compartmentalized like popular photography backpacks so your camera, drone, laptop, or whatever you're bringing is secure and organized.

Open the side flap to access the ports and connect devices to power without having to remove the backpack. The entire Bluetti Handsfree Series is designed to be IP65 water-resistant, and the battery can operate between -4F and 104F.

The LiFePO4 battery cells are automotive-grade and can offer over 4,000 charging cycles or 10 years of life. Keep the battery inserted in the bag and carry up to 66 pounds of gear without needing to worry about emergency backup power.
