A few weeks ago GoPro quietly updated the GoPro seeker backpack with a few small changes. The first change is they have made the backpack slightly larger and increased its capacity from 16 liters to 18 liters. Upon visual inspection, this did not significantly increase the overall size of the backpack. When doing a side by side comparison it’s very difficult to see any size changes. The other feature that has been added is a new laptop sleeve located in the back compartment beside the water bladder compartment that is now capable of holding a 15″ laptop. This was one complaint that many had with the original GoPro seeker and has now been addressed.

Another nice thing is that GoPro has dropped the price of the seeker backpack. For a long time the seeker backpack retailed at $169.99 U.S however the new price of the updated GoPro seeker backpack is $149 U.S. You can still purchase the original seeker backpack on Amazon for under $120. The big question is … is it worth the upgrade if you already own the original GoPro Seeker Backpack. Personally, I would have to say no, to me the changes are not significant enough to justify the cost. However, if you are looking to get a new backpack, now is the time with the new low-cost and updated model. The seeker is a high-quality GoPro backpack that is super comfortable to wear for long periods of time and can hold a ton of gear. I highly recommend it.
