Pros:Great in almost everything, sturdy and well done.
Cons:Only the inner top.
Opinion:Great backpack, good value for money. The quality of Lowepro is not disputed, the backpack is well made and well studied, robust but not too bulky and heavy, despite the internal space is really a lot. Many accessories available already at purchase or later, modular, so you can constantly update and add "stuff". The only thing I don't particularly like is the inner upper part, which in the part that joins the backrest, forms a slight curvature that is a bit uncomfortable and takes away space ... obviously made for design reasons... but honestly even if it had had a slightly more square shape in that part I would not have worried. Excellent and highly recommended!
Pros:Capacity, organization of spaces and modularity, quality of materials and seams, external pockets included in the equipment
Cons:Vacuum weight, fixed shoulder straps not adjustable in height
Opinion:In these 45 lt of backpack there really is a lot of equipment. The padding is good and the rigidity of the materials increases the protection of the transported material. The interior spaces are well organized, with many partitions supplied all freely modules. The supplied pockets (water bottle holders, utlitity and easel transport system) are also very useful. The cordura used is of good quality as well as the seams. On the other side of the coin we obviously have a weight that is far from feather already empty backpack, which becomes very demanding when used at full load, in combination with deficient shoulder straps in the padding. In addition, a major limitation in my opinion is the impossibility of adjusting the shoulder straps in height, with the consequence of not being able to "dress" the backpack correctly, that is, unloading the weight on the lumbar belt instead of on the shoulders. The extra-advice for short or light loading transports. For long journeys with heavy load, however, I would not recommend it.
Pros:Capacity, rigidity that provides protection, possibility of internal customization
Cons:Weight, shoulder straps
Opinion:The backpack is very large, there is a lot of equipment, even if the quick pockets are two and not very agile to reach. I have brought us Nikon D7200, Sigma 17-70, Tokina 11-16, Nikon 10.5 and Tamron 70-300, plus filters and tripod hanging out. Plus there was some garment. What to say, the weight of course in that case makes itself feel great, also because the backpack of his is Pesantino. I find it really comfortable as hand baggage in the airplane, thanks to the space for PC. I do not find it comfortable for days where you have to stay long with the backpack on your shoulders. For that they gave me a Manfrotto Off-Road, less capacent but much more comfortable. Beyond the little padding, the thing that annoys you is the backrest so rigid in direct contact with the back, without a breathable retina. Also the shoulder straps do not have the high setting. They are all things more typical than a backpack "mountain", which in fact have others as the Manfrotto already mentioned or the sport LowerPro. The cost is also not really low, however I have not sold it yet because to transport all the equipment in a safer or airplane definitely does its job.
Pros:Very capacent, customization of the internal divisions very varied, robust materials
Cons:Empty weight, not very comfortable shoulder straps
Opinion:I recently took it to replace my loyal Tamrac now at the limit of wear, after a choice between various brands and models. You can immediately appreciate the robust materials, especially the rigid top cover, and the many possibilities of customizing the interior. For example I chose to make a large compartment for various objects in the upper part and to extract the camera from the side. To be detected also the practical straps supplied to hook outside the desired height the tripod holder and a container. Small side pockets at the top, where there is small and thin stuff (like the cloths to clean the lenses or memory cards), while the compartments on the belt are wider and useful, for example, for spare batteries. More or less large pockets are inside. Beware of the higher average vacuum weight (over 2.5 kg), if you want to carry the backpack in the airplane as hand baggage, because if you charge a lot of equipment you risk to overtake weight limit imposed by some companies. Another thing to note is that the large capacity and robustness causes to fill it a lot, and then carry it can be a problem also because the shoulder straps are not very padded in the long are uncomfortable. Anyway it's a great product, and I highly recommend it. Rated 9 full
Pros:Spectacular backpack in that capacity (holds a Nikon 24-70 vertically), shock resistance, comfort on the back, space for everything thanks to the various pockets, 15-inch computer compartment
Cons:Little padded shoulder straps, sometimes after a long hike give really annoying for those who use large bottles, or large capacity
Opinion:Backpack clearly high level, but definitely not recommended for use in the mountains. Great for City and work. I had a great time in various situations such as weddings and shooting in the city. Unfortunately, but also to travel I would not recommend, because after so many hours that you hold his shoulders are bad because of the shoulder straps are not padded. Clearly for everything else spectacular.
Opinion:excellent transport bag, I put the full equipment on. clearly then it must be carried on the shoulder. the materials are excellent and you can make different customizations thanks to the practical detaching of the dividers. AW cover of course and modules for tripods and belt bags for batteries, SD and filters. The structure of the backpack is rigid.
Opinion:Backpack certainly of excellent construction level but Lowepro is a leader in the field. I looked for a backpack that could hold my two Nikon camera bodies, a D750 and a D7100, the Tamron 70-200 2.8, the Sigma Art 35mm 1.4, the Nikon 85mm 1.8 and the 20mm 1.8 always Nikon. I managed to organize everything so that the two rooms can be extracted comfortably at any time. Using the bag mainly in my traveling journeys I needed to bring with me also my Macbook Pro 17 '' that fits perfectly and even the GoPro. rnThe backpack allows you to carry everything without problems.rnUnica flaw for me is the lack of a pocket quite large on the outside where you can store personal belongings such as passport glasses and wallet.
Cons:the two small zippered pockets on the waistband are unavailable
Opinion:Taken as a replacement for my little brother (ProTactic 350) that I soon got "tight" - I could not put my D750 with a battery grip mounted in the upper opening on the side, but instead I can easily put it in the upper compartment (with 300mm or zoom 24/120). From the side pockets you can take what you need without having to lay the backpack. rnrn
Opinion:my previous photo backpack was 25 years old and could no longer have it anymore. But this is really a nice backpack, comfortable, lightweight, practical. I like to change equipment and size and with this I decide from time to time if I carry around the Canon 5d and a few lenses, or the 6x6 or 4x5 format. Even the tripod did not bother (and with the 4x5 use a berlebach in wood bulky enough!) RnMe gave it to my brother last Christmas ... Satisfied after almost a year of use!
Opinion:First backpack soddisfatissimo are lots of place modulated in any way, useful external accessories tripod port and 2 universal that you can put where you think better 15-inch notebook brings the I bought in China and the difference from my usual Italian retailer and 140 euro I thought instead it was a parcel is absolutely perfect for me at least
Pros:Possibility to reach the equipment in 4 different ways. Compatible with MOLLE system. Belt. sufficiently protective
Cons:limiting the division system. top opening there is not the D750 + 24-120 with hood. The belt is related to the part that opens on the back and thus can not open the backpack without rest on the ground
Opinion:I wanted a backpack that would allow me to access at least two goals (14-24 and 300 E PF) from the sides to change goal without putting the bag when they are in the midst of campi.rnInteressante able to access on both sides of the objectives for running changes . Unfortunately, the upper opening refelx with 24-120 + lens hood does not fit and therefore one of the two openings is sacrificed by reflex. rnIl dividing system provides a large aperture in half bag that prevents you to customize the internal division in a manner optimal for me. The two side openings are generous for optical inutilizzato.rnBene but this leaves the pocket PC space, the upper space for some accessori.rnPERFETTA the belt that can hold small items, a "portaqualcosa" LOWEPRO or the MOLLE system and download great weights on great fianchirnQuasi
Pros:Pros: Sturdy, well padded, outdoors, customizable thanks to tactical ranges. High interior layout flexibility. cameras extraction from side openings which do not require removal from the shoulders. Perfect compatibility with small optics of M 4/3 systems. Rain protection through removable cloth.
Cons:For my type of use, I found none.
Opinion:I had never owned a backpack and the need jumped out when I expanded the park to M4 / 3 Olympus cameras where you know the optics are compact .... Hence the problem that all other backpacks I had seen up then they had oversized interior compartments and then "plump and flabby" .... and here, found the smaller version "350" ..... and it was love at first sight. I have three months and I must say it has become a constant companion .... rnAggiornamento 26/08/2016 I find so well for me that the arrival of the 100-400 panasonic, I also took the 450.
Pros:Plenty of space for equipment and organizable by special dividers, mining reflex or goals without having to take the backpack from his shoulders, for extra space, enters in the overhead of the airlines, security anti shoplifting, anti rain curtain, hooks for easel customizable.
Cons:Maybe I padded a bit 'more of the shoulder straps
Opinion:I used this backpack during a 3 week stay in Cambodia and Thailand, with the following equipment: rnNikon Nikon D800 + Nikon 18-35 70-200 VR2 + + + Nikon 24-120 sigma 35 Art + Ricoh Gr, Macbook Air 13 ' , various cables, spare batteries, ebook, ND filter, hard-disk ... Obviously the gross vehicle weight is felt (I would say 11 / 12Kg), but there are two straps, a lumbar and a rib, which help during ... the trek back adheres well, and perspiration is aided by a zone "Active" .rnla d800 in the overhead compartment entered without any problems with all the goals except the 70-200, which riponevo down (organizing interior space with dividers you can still enter d800 + 70-200 at the bottom). rnHo bought this bag because I found very comfortable the two side openings (I riponevo one hand and the other on the wide canvas to have everything at hand and change lenses in seconds), and because it has plenty of room for my needs is perfetto.rn
