Lowepro Flipside Trek 450 Backpack, Camera Backpack for DSLRs and Multiple Lenses, for Laptop, Tablet, Photo Accessories, Tripod, Grey, 17 x 26 x 31 cm

I have had a play with this backpack today, it seems small but is in fact quite large for storing your camera and lenses. An example of what I fitted into the camera compartment is this. Nikon D750 with a 24-70 F2.8 Nikon 70-200 F4 Nikon 50mm F1.8 Tamron 15-30mm F2.8. Nikon D7100 with a 17-70 Sigma Macro F2.8-F4. As you can see, it will fit most of your camera gear in there in one go, the main issue is with larger lenses, I have a Tamron 150-600mm, its a bit of a beast so that pretty much takes up one whole side of the compartment, the D750 the other (with a 70-200 F4 fitted), just about squeeze in a 50mm f1.8 but not much more room in there, its still good if you are just going to do long range work but there will be compromises to be made. Top compartment, easily fits a Gortex type waterproof, top and bottoms, with room to spare for a warm base layer, front compartment, not really done much with that, there is plenty of room for your batteries and cards (though these could be fitted into one of the two velcro pocket dividers found in the main compartment), and room for a 10 inch pad and food, its deep enough for kit as long as you don't expect to stay out 24+ hours. Side holders for water bottles, not a problem there either, I have 2 1ltr bottles (British Army type) easily placed in there securely. I have not yet tried attaching a tripod but it should easily be accommodated on the back (or side if you do not require as much water taking out with you), I would just avoid putting water into any of the internal compartments in case it leaks. Padding of the internal compartments is good, not had any issues with anything jabbing into me or out of the rucksack, the padding on the straps is more than enough for it to me comfortable, as is the waist belt, the only issue I have here is that its pretty much a requirement that you fasten the top strap across your chest to get the pack to seat correctly, if you don't then it drops slightly off the shoulder and could be an issue on longer walks/hikes if you don't like the restrictiveness of a chest strap, I think having adjustment on the shoulder straps at the top may have been a better idea for comfort, it's not a deal breaker but it is something you should be aware of. Overall its a good compromise as a day rucksack, the ability to carry food, clothing, water as well as a first aid kit, map/compass and any other little items you would require for your comfort, make it versatile enough for most photographers who usually only use a normal photo bag (I also have a Lowepro 400 AW, which is why I opted for this as an alternative whilst walking any sort of distance). Some compromises but easily worth buying for everything else it gives you, and the price.

Overall Conclusion: If you are after a light and sturdy camera backpack which allows you easy and quick access to your camera, look no further. I have used this back on a 3-weeks road trip through Australia and it was super comfortable and kept my equipment save in the field, in the car and in the plane. Just the right size for a weekend away and European airline hand luggage size restrictions. How to Use: The bag comes with various velcro dividers. Thus you can adjust the camera compartment to your needs. Some of the dividers have a pocket in which you can store a small spare battery, cables or memory cards - clever idea. The camera compartment opens to the back, so nobody can access and steal items from your back while you wear it. While having the hip strap closed, you can swing the backpack to your front and access your equipment without having to take off the backpack or rest it on the dirty/wet floor. It works very well. The top compartment is reasonably large, you could use this for a weekend away if you do not need a lot of things. I will use this in connection with some packing cubes and this should do the trick as they allow you to save space (see my review for the packing cubes I use). It has a mesh pocket for smaller items which you would like to store separately. You have a further pocket at the front of the back which can hold smaller iPads, papers, other long and thin items like power banks, etc. There are two further pockets on the hip strap which I use to hold spare batteries or lens caps. Again, another clever idea. There are straps at the front of the back which I use to hold a jacket, but can be used for tripods, blankets, solar panels, cups, etc. There are mesh pockets left and right to hold small tripods or large water bottles. Space: As mentioned above, I will use this bag for a weekend away on a regular basis going forward due to its ample space and the perfect size considering budget airline restrictions on hand luggage in the EU. I am able to fit a 3K GorillaPod and a GoPro Grip in one of the side mesh pockets, a large water bottle in the other side. In the main compartment, I carry a Sony a6500 with a Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens attached, a Sigma 30mm 1.4 lens, the zoom kit lens from Sony, a DJI Copilot, two variable Tiffen ND filters, five spare batteries for the Sony, Anker PowerCore 20100, a third party Sony battery charger, two lens pens, a rocket blower, PeakDesign camera strap, small GoPro case with Hero6, 2 spare batteries, GoPro charger, all required cables, spare lens caps and a spare SD card. In the front pocket, I carry a pair of Sony on-ear headphones, A4 papers/travel documents and tickets, etc. The top compartment should provide enough space for the cloths required for a weekend away during the warmer months. Quality and Price: The padding is very thick which gives the backpack a sturdy from. This is great for travelling or the airplane where you can not always avoid people throwing their bags on your own bag or squeezing things next to your bag. It also means that the backpack keeps its form when you have it not fully packed and if the weight is distributed correctly, it will stand up without falling over. I have not had any quality issues - the zippers feel very strong, so do the materials used. I noticed, however, that the bag gets dirty quite quickly, but you can wipe it down easily. There are lots of small clever straps, strap holders and pockets which make this bag amazing. I bought this at a reduced price of GBP 99 on Amazon and I would highly recommend this bag.

Mido 1.60 cms y me quedó un par de centímetros grande para el tamaño de mi espalda, para cualquiera de mayor altura será un ajuste cómodo. Sin embargo, estoy cotentísima, es super práctica: 1. Te permite sacar y meter cosas de ella en cuestión de segundos por su diseño, mantengo el cinturón abrochado, la descuelgo de mis hombros, la giro hacia el frente y tengo acceso a mi equipo. La usé para un viaje y anduve entre comparsas y la amé. Podía meter y sacar cuanta cosa necesitara sin tener q buscar donde ponerla, donde sentarme y sin la incomodidad de las mochilitas que tienen el acceso lateral. 2. Tiene un compartimento en la parte superior donde me cabe muda de ropa ligera para un par de días. 3. Es 2 en 1, ya q antes viajaba con una backpack -que amo su diseño y calidad- suficientemente grande para mi ropa para un fin de semana, una semana entera o hasta para 1 mes y dentro de ella metía otra backpack de bajo perfil para mi equipo. Con esta sólo llevo una backpack, pues una vez que llego al hotel saco la ropa y artículos de aseo personal y listo, ya puedo salir a hacer fotografía. 4. Es del tamaño ideal para llevarla en cabina en el avión. 5. Sus colores evitan q se vea sucia. 6. Como otros productos Lowepro, tienen compartimentos y/o bolsillos en el interior y exterior q permiten tener todo organizado. 7. Trae muchos separadores para organizar tu equipo a tu gusto. 8. 2 de los separadores son bolsillos, ahí guardo cablecitos, la cartera de las memorias, la Gopro, baterías, etc. 9. Puedo caminar entre multitudes sabiendo que nadie puede acceder a mi equipo por tener el acceso en la espalda. 10. Está chulísima y de inmediato llamó la atención su practicidad entre otros entusistas de la fotografía y hasta de 1 amigo que nada sabe de tomar fotos o equipo. Admito que estaba un poco escéptica respecto al diseño (acceso por la espalda), sin embargo es ya mi favorita. He usado de todo tipo de bolsas y backpaks para cámara, ya sólo me hace falta una que me gusta de Lowepro para senderismo, pero esta está taaan chula y práctica que no creo adquirir otra pronto. Además esa de senderismo tiene acceso lateral y no es tan cómodo como esta de la línea Treker. 5 estrellas bien merecidas. Sólo agregaría 1 elemento, un asa en la base para poder girarla, levantarla o manipularla cuando se le deja en el piso, cama, o el guarda balijas del avión.

***Update - May 2023 - I'm on my second bag after one of the sholder straps started to separate from the pack after 5 years of heavy use. It's still by far the most functional I have owned. I also updated the gear section below. I bought this in 2016 and just got around to reviewing it now in March of 2019. All in all this is a great bag. It fits the following gear comfortably: In the back partition - for larger lenses 1 Nikon D850 with Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 E lens attached to the camera. Next to this is my Sigma 60-600mm Sport Lens. In the Top compartment: Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8 Sigma 14-24 F2.8 Back pouches various attachments and lens and sensor cleaning supplies extra batteries and Nikon charger. Side Pouches: 1 Bower Heavy duty tripod or Sirui heavy duty monopod with 3 feet - this is strapped in using 2 adjustable straps - very secure. 1 large coffee or beverage holder on the other side of the pack. I really like the build of this pack it's more or less lightweight and has served me well over the past 3 years and I would expect it to work well in the coming years. Pros: Relative lightweight Holds all the lenses I would typically use for an outing. Weight is held close to the body which cuts down on strain and feeling off balance which is very important when hiking in the mountains or steep trails. Durable - haven't had any issues with broken zippers or ripped seams - one area did have wear only because I carried my 14-24 lens the wrong way - I fixed that. Waterproof raincoat (Self contained and located in a little compartment right at the top of the bag) this is invaluable if you get caught in a deluge - saved me a number of times and covers the whole bag) Cons: Adjustable compartments dont work well in the top part of the bag - I ended up keeping my neoprene gloves between the 24-70mm and the 14-24mm to keep them from bumping one another - this could have been designed better - the removable padded sections dont stick together properly and move all over the place - best option here is to add your own soft section. As I said above - This bag has served me very well and I would absolutely buy it again - the cons are small nits which can be easily rectified.

I don't see the rain cover

Jag gillar kvaliten på Lowepro produkter, de håller verkligen för många år användning. Denna säck är precis lagom stor för min del, jag får plats med hus och monterat Tela och 2 andra objektiv eller annan utrustning och det separata facket högst upp gjorde den perfekt för mig.

Excellent bag. Lots of room for camera and other gear. Carries very nicely.
