Lowepro ProTactic 350 AW II Modular Backpack with All Weather Cover for Laptop Up to 13 Inch for Professional Cameras, Mirrorless, CSC and Drones, LP37176-PWW

I got this bag as a replacement for another by LowePro that my increased camera gear had outgrown.I wanted one place to put everything safely.I needed a lot of time (a couple of hours) to get the layout in the photos and I used some spare inserts to save me having to think too hard.There are 6-7 included inserts unused. I will see if I can get the same results without a need for spares from another systemMy main camera (Nikon D500 plus battery grip) is at the top of the case and my second one (Nikon D300s plus battery grip) is accessible via one of the two side access flaps/doors.Although it took a lot of time to get the inserts right, I did manage to stow everything away.This equipment is easy on my back as it’s central on my shoulders. Quite comfortable.I have now managed to put all my gear in one place and I’ll take out what I need on short journeys.The wide at the rear removable belt is a bonus. It has zippered pockets either side and can take Molle type accessories, as can most of the case.The tripod cup and straps, water bottle holder and phone pouch are great bonuses, too. This gives me easy access to some items while the main access is effectively theft proof.All in all a very fine bag with a superb carrying capacity.Highly recommend.

The ProTactic from Lowepro my 4th Lowepro bag rugged and modular and nothing bad to say about it.With plenty of dividers included you can lay this bad out in as many ways as you can think of.Its 16-litre volume has a slim profile and is perfect for some camera or a weekend away.Throw in a packing cube of clothes and you are set for a weekend away for some photography.I’ve been able to fit 2 days of clothes, an SLR camera with 4 batteries, an Osmo pocket 2 and a mic as well as 2 GoPros, a GoPro tripod, my tech pouch of cables and chargers, and my coat.The bag is comfy to wear all day and easy to get in and out of. The side access makes quick grabs simple.This may well replace my sort trip backpack and not I just need to find a week backpack to go with it.

I took a punt and went for this 450 AW II for a trip to the Lake District. It is a great sturdy backpack, though I will be honest and say it is on the heavy side.. I would have hoped for something a little lighter.Internals have plenty of spacers which you can move around to suit your own setup. I do not use "side opening" to get to the camera, so I have spacers all around the bottom of the bag making quite a fe small compartments for cables etc.The top opening of the Backpack is a great feature but why the need for the rock hard plastic? This is a bit overkill in my opinion and adds to the already overweight bag.!zips are a good feel and quality, side pockets ( 1 pouch and 1 water bottle holder ) are a good addition. Though if you need to use the rain cover, it will not fit over the backpack with these attached. so be warned if going out in bad weather.I found the tripod foot pouch useless. It barley fits 1 of my manfrotto 055 legs. So I ditched this and used the water bottle pouch which I could fit 2 legs into.Pros.Plenty of spacePlenty of dividersease of accessplenty of padding.Cons,Heavy Backpack.Useless Tripod pouch.Hard plastic top making top opening tough.Would I buy it again taking all this into consideration.... who knows, perhaps. But the weight puts me off although it is a quality item and comfortable to wear.

I had a chance to buy this when it was on sale on amazon so you could say I paid a good price (£181), still not a cheap product.I bought it because I had kata photo bag which had slightly too narrow shoulder straps and rubbish waist support. Other than that the bag was very good.The shoulder and waist straps are a lot better at this lowepro bag, my shoulders do not ache as much as quickly as they used to do with kata bag, this is the plus.I have seen people making comments that that bag does not stand upright, it's true and it's a bit annoying sometimes. The other thing I noticed is that when you try to unzip the top pocket the handle of the rucksack gets in the way, minor inconvenience. The two small pockets on the side are quite small, they expand very slightly due to the folded material.I have not had the bag for long and I am not a pro photographer. Can't comment on longevity of the product. My other lowepro bags were good.If you can buy it at a discount price, get one.I also like the fact that you can attach the pouches to it.

I have had this product for over a month now, and can honestly say that it has met all my expectations. Easily holds my Canon 5D mark IV, 70-200mm and 24-105mm lenses, plus also my older camera and another two lenses and my laptop plus all the chargers (for info my laptop has a 15.6inch screen and its dims are 2400mm x 3600mm and easily slips in and out) The ability to customise the interior is excellent.Everyone will have their own preference, but by keeping my 5D with the 70-200mm lens attached (my go to combination) at the base of the bag, it easily accessible via the side zip.Yes, the bag (empty) is slightly heavier than previous ones I have owned, it is a small price to pay for an extremely sturdy product. Would you carry over £6k worth of equipment in a carrier bag????If there were any fault that I can find, it's the waterproof cover.It's attached to the base of the bag and fits nicely over the bag.However, if it was detachable, by way of a zip, it would make drying out easier.Pricewise, yes it is a little more expensive than other bags, but it will pay for itself in the long run due to superior workmanship.PS. Either buy direct or via Amazon (as I did) as there are fake ones out there.
