If your asking whether the MiniWorks EX will screw directly onto the opening of the Camelback reservoirs, it won't. It will only screw onto 64mm openings (ie., Nalgene, MSR Dromlite and Dromedary bags, etc.). However, this filter will work with the Camelbak reservoirs by either cutting a section of the MSR's outlet hose and attaching it to the nipple located on the bottom end of the filter element (where you would then place this hose in the reservoirs opening), or removing the bite valve from the Camelbak hose and attaching it to the same nipple mentioned above. The latter may be the best method if the reservoir is imbedded in a pack.
