Lowepro LP37129, Flipside 400 AW II Camera Backpack, Camera Accessories, for DSLR, CSC, Mirrorless, 15 Inch Laptop, Tablet, Additional Lenses, Black

I have the Lowepro flipside 450. Excellent product. Have grown attached to the flip-operation and love it. Wanted: all that excellence in an easier to carry, smaller package. Bought a cheaper wannabe bag to try. Yeah, it's okay, but, spoiled by the Lowepro excellence and all it's features... Enter this Flipside 200 AW II. Thrilled that it has all I love about the 450: - Rain cover - Flip operation - A divider that splits open to hold more small objects - pockets both sides ... BONUS: the tripod pocket! Not the easiest to figure out from images here, but there's a pocket tucked inside the back flap accessible from the bottom. It's a deep pocket/sling that pulls out, hangs down a bit lower than bottom of the bag. Okay - looking good, but I'll need to buy a strap for the top of the bag? NO! another ingenious pocket at the top - peel open that and pull out a strap system. So, tripod leg into bottom, one clip at the top = Side pockets remain available for other items (beverage bottle, etc). Excellent way to stretch the usefulness of this compact bag. In sum - has all I wanted, and glad I took a chance on the tripod pocket, even though not well illustrated here. Just be aware: If you want to carry more than 2 lenses, you're probably going to need a bigger bag, but if you want a quick grab for a short trip, I've got tripod, Sony a7iii, 24-105 G Master, and eventually, the 200-600, which at 12.5" should fit fine. Especially because you can pull the velcro'd accsy bag out of the inside top, exposing the full 15" height of the inside of the bag. Current deal (05-17-24) makes this an excellent buy at roughly $40 off normal street price elsewhere. Glad I didn't try another 40-$80 dollar knock off. Good to go with 2 excellent bags now, this one for light runs and the 450 when I'm "loading for bear". (BTW, I thought I bought the last one, 'cause that's what the availability counter said, LOL!)

I'm a fairly new photographer, and as my gear list has grown, so has my collection of bags, slings, and cases to hold what I think I'll "need" on a trip. I've gotten to the point now where I feel like I am comfortable with what I want to do and what I need to do it. Here's what I manage to fit in this backpack: Canon 6D Mark II Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary (on-camera) Canon 24-105mm STM Canon 50mm STM Canon 17-40mm 4.0L Canon 100mm 2.8L macro Neewer Speedlite Various filters, extra batteries, etc. All of the lenses except the Sigma are stood on their ends and the backpack just manages to close. I wouldn't try to stand up any lens longer than the 100mm macro. The main reason I purchased this backpack is because I was planning a trip to Europe and I wanted to be able to do both types of photography I enjoy most (landscapes and birds) without a huge hassle every time I needed to change a lens. This backpack fit the bill perfectly. For this trip, I left the 50mm and the macro at home to save weight and allow me to pack binoculars in the backpack also. When we left on a walk, I would put on the backpack, buckle the waist strap, and go. The pack never touched the ground until we got back. It was just so easy to swing the pack around, open it up, and switch a lens right there at waist level. One thing to keep in mind is that you may want to practice this opening procedure at home first. I practiced over a bed first, so that if anything went wrong, things would fall on the bed rather than the floor. And the first time I did, things almost did fall out. But it was an easy fix. The backpack was so heavily loaded, that once the zipper was undone, the main compartment wanted to flop downwards. But there are straps in the corners that you can tighten that will limit this tendency to tip downwards. I tightened them all the way and then, even fully packed, the backpack stayed horizontal when I unzipped the cover. I never had to readjust these straps on my trip. As for comfort, this is a very nice backpack. The waist strap does a great job of redistributing the weight off your shoulders. And both that strap and the shoulder strap are very well padded. Production value seems very high, seams don't appear to have any way of starting to fray. The side clasps worked great for holding a jacket or raincoat in place when I wasn't wearing it. The rain cover fit nicely over the pack, even with a water bottle and umbrella stuffed in the side pockets. This is the most I've paid for a camera backpack or case, but it's also the best I've purchased, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is the last one I purchase for quite a long time.

In the past I used a $70 cheapo camera bag and it could hold 3 sections of gear. I always have my travel tripod inside to prevent damage, and I have a few lenses, camera body, laptop, misc camera accessories. The bag lasted 9 years and it was finally starting to fall apart, so I went looking for a new bag. Unfortunately the original cheapo bag I owned had been discontinued. I tried 4 other camera bags on Amazon and unfortunately they all had one major issue for me - I could not fit my gear anymore. It seemed that most newer bags expect to put the tripod on the outside to save space on the inside. All new bags seemed so follow this new trend of being slim which I did not want. I needed space to hold a lot of gear, yet still remain large enough to fit under an airplane seat. Not many bags do that now - they all want to go small and light. Eventually I came across the Lowepro 500 AW II. It was more expensive but at this point I had no other options. When I got it, this bag did exactly what I needed! Plenty of space for 3 sections of gear+tripod! Materials felt pretty good and durable. Had plenty of extra dividers I didn't really need but it's a bonus. And I actually tried fitting it under the airplane seat and it works!!! If I had to say what the negative/inconveniences were for me: 1. The camera section opens from the back instead of the front. 2. Not as much space to hold small accessories in the front zipper compartment or the inside/laptop compartment area. But they do give you a separate pouch which you can put your accessories inside there and it's velcroed. You'll be able to attach it somewhere inside the camera compartments. These are just minor inconveniences specific to me though so it may not apply to you. But this bag checks all the important boxes I need in a good quality durable camera bag so it's perfectly fine!

OK. Here is my impression of the LowePro Flip-side 400 AW II. It is only my impression and not criticism. First, this is not my first LowePro camera bag or backpack. As with my other LowePro gear, the materials used are second to none. They're top quality. My favorite part of the bag is how the tripod mounts... very secure. The side pockets are a little tight but I'm sure they'll take a water bottle. I've been shooting for over 40 years. My opinion is based on the many bags and backpacks I've owned over those years. So, here goes... This bag, while versatile, was not made to efficiently carry a larger DSLR. I'm referring specifically to the D850. I was very excited to get this bag but when it arrived, my first thought was, "This is it?!?" I grabbed my gear and started rearranging the ample compartment dividers. The pack does not have the depth for big glass. even just one. I took one look at my 300mm f/2.8 and chuckled. Maybe next time. I then tried my 80-200mm on the D850. If I take the small bag out, it barely fits lengthwise, and I have to sacrifice lens storage at the lens hood end or leave the hood behind. Now, using a medium prime lens on the camera gave me space for several other lenses. I could get four smaller prime and two compact zooms in there. That was cool. But here's the thing. My 850 sits too high to place a laptop or iPad in without the top of the prism and the laptop vying for space- it's a tight fit when zipping it up, as I have to pinch the zipper closed to secure the back. And the whole flip-side thingy? Do not trust this gimmick unless you have a firm grip underneath the pack. Nobody in their video reviews pointed that out. The weight of a full-sized DSLR is just too heavy and the bag buckles at the waist. Thanks for the warning, guys! :-D Now, after I sat and looked at the bag for a while, I decided to pack my other gear. I took the Nikon stuff out and placed my Leicas and their lenses plus my Fuji and the two lenses for that, a flash, a GoPro Hero 9 and mounts, and finally, my iPhone tripod mount. Now THAT fit perfectly, with room to spare. I have extra lens caps and body caps as well as all the extra batteries and chargers I need. They also do not impede closing the bag while the computer or iPad is stored. So for me, it was just an OK purchase. I give the bag a solid 4 for medium mirrorless cameras plus a lot of gear, but a three for the largest of DSLR's. I will not trust my bigger gear in this bag. My only advice is this... if you're buying this for a full size DSLR like the D850 (it's a beast even without the battery grip) you my want to consider a bigger backpack... and not a Flip-side!

I like the profile of the bag, the access to my equipment, and the security of my things when carrying it. Great bag for a reasonable price. Holds everything I have which includes: Two Canon M50s, two GoPros, a portable LED light, all my batteries (including spares for all my cameras), all my chargers, three different RODE mics (micro, mic go, and a larger RODE mic), 13 inch MacBook, external hard drive, memory cards, filters, gorilla pod, tripod, several cables and accessories for various things, and more. Loaded this way it has very little room and is maxed out and can get heavy. It does still have room in the front pocket for various items like keys, pens, a small packable rain jacket, a hat, pad of paper, and other small items. There are plenty of dividers and I love the versatility of these in setting it up to suit my needs from any given trip or shoot to another. Could be configured to pack one of my M50s, my gamble, and the necessities for each. Or if I had a drone I could configure it to carry everything needed for it. I chose the 400 for the extra room and the additional padding on the belt for when I am accessing my equipment without setting my bag down. I have considered the 300 for a smaller load out but still feel it is a bit too small to justify the money when this pack will do what the 300 will do and much more as I have indicated above. If you have no need to carry additional items along with your camera and you don't need the room for a 13 inch or larger laptop, I am certain the 200 or the 300 will suit anyones needs just fine. Great bag, great materials, east to use, and carry.

This backpack had loads of space for my camera equipment when I was traveling and managed to fit underneath the plane seat in front of me - a huge plus! Interior: This has a lot of space for your camera equipment as well as room for a laptop. The padding is more than sufficient to protect from drops or bangs that one may experience. It is very roomy! The laptop pouch is nice, but may have trouble fitting some 15 inch laptops. The front pouch has a lot of space for a tablet and papers if needed. Exterior: It is a nice sleek design with a very functional rain cover. I was caught in rain with it, and it kept all of my stuff dry. I don't use the flip side feature much, but it could be useful. Overall, great product that I would recommend to a traveler with lots of stuff!

Best camera bag I've ever owned. Upgraded from the flipside 200 and was terrified. I also didn't know whether to get the 400 or the 400 II. I am SO GLAD I GOT THIS BAG. It is huge, fits everything I need, but is SOOOOO COMFORTABLE. I weigh more than 300 pounds, but this thing works perfectly for me. Lowepro is SUCH HIGH QUALITY. My last bag lasted more than 4 years and I shoot with it at least twice a week. I am a customer for life. I laugh at my friends who buy other frilly camera bags. Lowepro is functional and looks professional. The backpack design is essential for me since I've had back surgery, and the interior zipper gives me peace of mind. I cannot imagine a better camera bag. Seriously. I would not change a single thing about this bag.

I use this pack to hike with a mirrorless camera and telephoto lens, small tripod, other camera gear, and hiking stuff (extra clothes, snacks, water, bear spray, binoculars, etc...). The Flipside 500 has sufficient volume to allow me to carry enough gear for a full day of hiking (as long as I remember to carry water purification). It is very comfortable, seems very well designed and manufactured, allows for quickly pulling the camera out without having to fully remove the pack, and provides more-than-sufficient cushioning for sensitive gear. Due to it's flipside design, it's not super-compatible with hydration bladders (bladders can be slipped inside the rear pocket--but, it's not designed for that) so, I tend to use water bottles instead. I haven't traveled with it and can't speak to how well it fits in overhead bins (it's big though...). If your intended use is similar to mine (hiking), I highly recommend this pack!

Considero muy buen producto, los compartimientos estan a la perfeccion. Una mochila de calidad

➤ Warum gekauft? Ich fotografiere seit über zehn Jahren mit DSLRs, inzwischen schleppe ich meist 2 Vollformat Bodys zu Shootings mit mir. Bisher habe ich meist den Lowepro Flipside 400 AW mit mir herumgetragen, seit ich aber auch noch ein Canon EF 100-400 L USM IS II mitnehme war der alte Rucksack zu klein. Aufgrund der guten Erfahrungen habe ich mir dann den großen Bruder gekauft. ➤ Bewertung Positiv ✔ sehr gute Größe, bringe meine zwei Vollformat Bodys, das 100-400, 24-70, 16-35 und noch ein paar andere Sachen locker unter ✔ guter "Diebstahlschutz" ich finde es genial, dass man an die "Innereien" nur rankommt, wenn man den Rucksack von den Schultern nimmt. ✔ die Anordnung der Fächer, Schlaufen, Schnallen und des Regenschutzes sind meiner Meinung nach komplett durchdacht ✔ konsequente Weiterentwicklung und Verbesserungen im Detail (z.B. Reißverschlüsse gehen besser, der Deckel kann nun komplett umgeklappt werden, so kommt man auch besser in den unteren Bereich) ✔ sehr komfortabel zu tragen, hatte den Rucksack auch schon bei kleineren (4 Std) Wanderungen auf dem Rücken ✔ die Trennwände kommen mir wertiger und stabiler vor ✔ zusätzliche, herausnehmbare Innentasche, die ebenfalls mit Klett angebracht werden kann ✔ es gibt fast keinen Bereich mehr, an dem man das Klett nicht befestigen kann, seitlich und unten geht es überall ✔ es gibt sehr viele Schlaufen (die nicht soweit abhängen, dass man hängen bleibt), die man dazu verwenden kann um etwas am Rucksack zu befestigen, auch am Bauchgurt Negativ ✘ bisher noch nichts ➤ Fazit Ich bin super zufrieden, ich habe den alten Rucksack zwar auch noch aber wenn ich zu Shootings gehe, dann nehme ich den großen Flipside mit. Wenn ich mit "durchdachter" Fotoausrüstung unterwegs bin, verwende ich nach wie vor den kleinen Bruder. Absolut genial.

La Lowepro si dimostra, almeno per me, affidabile e precisa nella manufattura: da anni ormai utilizzo i suoi bags. Questo zaino è perfetto per chi vuole farne un utilizzo durante escursioni semplici in giornata: solido, ricco di tasche, capiente senza risultare troppo grande, e sopratutto comodo. Ottimo il semplice ed efficace sistema per portare il cavalletto, riesce a non caricare troppo le spalle del peso. Consigliatissimo per i fotografi escursionisti!

Compact size great for carrying basic gear and accessories. Awesome quality as always. A little difficult to fit a full frame dslr and professional lenses. But will work great for mirrorless cameras.

De tas voldoet ruim aan de verwachtingen. Makkelijk in te delen, en past zelfs een 150-600mm zoomlens in tezamen met andere lenzen en body en accessoires. De flip mogelijkheid is ook prima: Tas blijft hangen als je hem omdraait om spullen eruit te pakken. Nadeel is alleen dat de ritssluiting vaak achter de lussen zit, waardoor wat moeilijker bereikbaar. Maar, dat is niet onoverkomelijk... Comfortabel bij lange wandelingen met zware spullen in de tas. Al met al meer dan tevreden.
