Lowepro Flipside BP 300 AW III Mirrorless and DSLR Camera Backpack, For 13'' laptop and 10'' tablet, Black, 31 x 22 x 46 cm

As I have only really had the chance to properly use this bag a couple of times, I can only give my opinion based on that. On first impressions I am very happy with the quality, space and relative comfort whilst carrying it on my back. I tend to carry 3 lenses (one fairly large), a camera body, several filters,spare batteries and occasionally a tripod. This bag seems to fit the bill perfectly, whilst the equipment is fairly heavy the bag distributes the weight nicely on the back especially with the adjustable straps-shoulder and waist, making it fairly comfortable to carry. Excellent main space which can be divided as required with velcro partitions allowing me to fit a large zoom attached to camera for easy use, whilst still allowing for a couple of other lenses plus filters to be stored safely. Plenty of other compartments ,accessed via front zip for storing lens cloths, batteries, memory cards etc. Very happy so far.

Hello....I bought this bag so I could fit a 70-200 with camera attached and it fits a treat with room for other things camera related as well as my cans of beer.With the rear opening lying against your back to get into the bag, security for kit is good to know.The side access is pretty cool but I have used a key ring thingy through the zip tabs to keep them together, NOT because it comes open but just for when i'm out in town or on a bus/train you dont know what sneaky people are about.The size of the bag does look big in the promo images but its quite compact and not overly bulky on the back. I will defo say the bag is worth the price. I will recommend this if you travel with a standard amount of camera kit eg. Camera, 70-200, 24-70 and some sort of prime lens as well as all the other camera paraphernalia you may have...Dont forget the beers...Bye

After almost 9 months, there's one little frustration I have with this bag that has been an issue on perhaps 3 or 4 different occasions.It's the limited options to reconfigure the internal dividers. The two main dividers are long, with a short 'hinged' pieces at the ends. The fixing velcro in the main 'tray' of the bag consists of two thin strips, running top to bottom. The combination makes it a challenge to customise/reconfigure the internal compartments for certain contents. One of the key features I was looking foward to with this bag was the side access flap, using it to grab/store my camera on the go. I find this impractical to setup with the internal divider limitations.Overall, though, I would say it's a great quality bag.I like the deepness of the interior, allows most equipment to be carried comfortably.I like the removable mesh zippered pocket, great for keeping all those small items safe and accessible.The laptop sleeve inside is great, but be aware anything bigger than a 14" laptop is unlikely to fit.The zips and build material is rugged and stands up to lots of use. Feels strong with lots of heavy gear packed inside.Comfortable to carry for long distances.The waist strap and ability to swivel and open the bag while standing is a brilliant feature when you find yourself unable to put the bag down, for whatever reason.Overall, I would recommend it as a great bag for professionals who need something tough and practical for daily use.If the internal configuration options were better, it would be the perfect working bag.

Comfortable to use with weighted contentsBought it for my Sony 200-600mm, can fit it with the a6600 attached and hood reversed with a bit of wiggle room stillCan fit my Tamron 18-300mm and a Viltrox 24.mm f/1.4 plus all my accessories such as pebble Bluetooth, macro lights, glass sphere, gloves, spare battery, filters, glass hood, cleaning tools and other small misc stuffAppreciate the waist strap for support when fully loaded

Why am I say almost? Because Lowepro also follows marketing policies vs. creating the best backpack on Earth. They distribute the new inventions in several models, so they can sell them all. Maybe it is just me, but there are so many cool features but on 4-5 different models while it would not be hard, nor expensive to merge all these awesome things in one. My previous bag was a 400 AW which I liked however I missed a few things that are perfectly patched now in the new version.But anyways, I do not want to be nit picking here, since I think I still got the best backpack in my life and the most important features are there! I am really happy with it in general. It is made from really high quality materials. They built this to last. I love this green camo color, because it matches with my other military backpack, and on the previous black version, you could easily see the dirt that was hard to clean. The other important thing that it does not look so obviously like a photo backpack. It might come handy when you go to some place you do not want to bring other's attention that you are carrying expensive equipments on your backside.I love the new laptop pocket in the back, that was something I was waiting for. It has also extra straps on the bottom now to strengthen the hold when you keep the backpack on your belt while opening it. It is also higher and deeper that the AW 400 so I can fit all my new lens in there. I got 2 Canon Flashes, a 70-200 IS USM F2.8 II, a 24-70 F2.8, a Macro F2.8 100mm, A Canon 5D M4, a Canon 5D M2, a mini tripod, a Flash turbo with charger, a 13 inch Lenovo Yoga 2 laptop, a tons of batteries in the separate bag compartment (very handy feature), and a bunch of small items in bags all fit in the backside (all these weight about 10-11 kg). The bag barely, but still fits in the airplane's cargo, compiles with the big hand luggage size restrictions. It was important for me since I like travelling but do not like giving out my gear to strangers' hands. It is very comfortable to wear it on both sides (on my back or stomach) even with 10-11 kg weight in it. The backside is soft, nicely padded. Thanks Lowepro! :)
