 Great Camera Bag December 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After purchasing my first Dslr, I was stuck trying to figure out the best bag for me. With my point and shoots I always had a shoulder bag, but these frustrated me because of the difficulty I had keeping them on my shoulders and out of the way. I considered backpacks but these to had the problem of accessibility and security. This bag solves all these problems because it keeps your expensive camera supplies out of the hands of others, while making it fairly easy for you to access the supplies. The reason I say fairly is because sometimes it can be difficult to access the camera. I bought this bag mainly to shoot wildlife and at the zoo. Supposedly you are supposed to cinch down the waist strap, take off the backpack straps, and swivel the bag in front of you to access the back of the backpack where the zipper is. Sometimes this works, but in a crowded zoo I sometimes find myself taking the whole thing off and setting it on the ground because it is easier. There are great compartments in the bag and plenty of room for all my needed lenses. The only other issue I have is the tripod strap. I don't know if it is me, or my bag or what, but the strap that holds the tripod in will not tighten all the way. It constantly loosens itself and I find myself hunched over because of the weight hanging off my back. It is very uncomfortable and most of the time I end up carrying it. Overall I am very happy with the bag and even with the problems mentioned, I still think this is one of the most secure, usable bags on the market.
Nice camera bag December 22, 2008

This is a very nice camera bag. Plenty of room for the camera and quite a few accessories. It's set up kind of like a locker on the inside, so everything is separated and protected very well. The price was better than anything we found locally.
Small back pack for taking on small aircraft December 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have a couple of larger Lowepro Trecker packs that have served me well. But, now I sometimes fly from small airports that have less overhead space for carry-on luggage. I always carry on my camera and lenses when going on a photo safari. This pack is of a long a slim configuration that I am hoping will fit in the overhead compartment of these smaller regional aircraft. The pack has room for a body, my 400 mm prime, and a couple of smaller lenses. Have not tried it yet on the aircraft, but I think it will fit. It's the largest pack I could find that looks like it has a chance to fit in the overhead compartment. Well made, like all my Lowepro stuff.
Excellent backpack that is deceptively compact November 12, 2008

I needed a backpack that could carry more than just a camera and a couple of lenses. With some adroit manipulation of the partitions (and adding in just one more small partition to create another compartment), my Flipside now can hold considerably more than I had thought it could, in not-overpacked comfort. here is what I can now pack into the bag:
A Sony A700 with an attached 18-250 (has space for a battery pack too, but I don't have one)
Sigma 10-20
Minolta 100mm macro
Minolta 1.4x adapter
1 set lens and body cap combo
Two HS3600 flash units with stands
Sony DSC R1 camera
Sony HVL F32x flash
Travel battery charger - charges batteries for both cameras
One spare battery that fits both cameras
few CF memory cards
Lens cleaning kit - fluid, blower brush, tissue
All of these are readily accessible except one 3600 flash, the charger and flash stands, which live in the small bag on top of the flipside. The HVL 32 flash is a bear, it's this funny, awkward shape that needs a ton of space.
Needless to mention, I do not plan to lug all this around on day trips. But for traveling long distance, I can haul my gear in a moderately compact bag, then take out what is not needed for the day.
I took off the waist straps that support the backpack for waist level opening - there were too many danglies flailing about.
Love it.
Best backpack so far for its size.
I'm glad I purchased this cool little backpack! October 1, 2008

The Lowepro Flipside 300 Backpack is jst what I needed. I've been looking for a pack to hump my gear around, but I'm not quite ready for a $200+ pack so this Flipside is perfect for me, I like the feature which allows the pack to rotate so gear may be accessed--great for event work and street photography. I will eventually upgrade to a bigger pack, e.g., a laptop model when I finally get a D3 and ultra long glass, but yes, I am quite happy with my Flipside, and the delivery time was well under the quoted ETA. Great pack and not at all cumbersome to use.
