Review on Lowepro Flipside 300 Camera Backpack by Brian Page

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect bag for those who like to travel light

[Update] Now for full frame body (Nikon D750). I can fit 24-70 + 70-200 + 85mm in (I was even able to fit the D5300 in by throwing away the case). There are only a few spots left, it works. The bag is still perfect for traveling light. Not good for all the gear inside. [Original] I bought this bag to hold my camera and lenses and I have to say it does the job well. I've tried several setups over the course of small trips and the bag handled it well. Two setups tested (see photos): 1) Nikon D5300 with Tamron 24-70mm G2 installed, Nikon 35mm, Nikon 85mm, Nikon 18-140mm, flash, cards etc. 2) Nikon D5300 with Sigma 150-600 installed mm C, Tamron 24-70mm G2, Nikon 35mm (and there's still room, but a bit cramped) Pros: - roomy enough, could easily fit +3-4 lenses in the body and there was room for flash, memory cards , filters and other stuff I think I could add a tablet or small laptop but then the bag would be too heavy to rummage around in - well made, all stitching looks solid, the plastic looks nice, no complaints about the quality - I have some concerns about the overall look, but the depth is good, about the right size - suitable for short distances or flying, not very comfortable for long hikes, my regular Dakine backpack fits many times better - better than photo backpacks - from to open inside, so that nobody unbuttoned pft can zip from the back and swipe your gear, but it's handy to slip a wallet or keys in the inside pocket - price is ok, bought from Adorama via Revain, delivered on time, normal boxed configuration, showing the camera attaches to both sides (cf. photo), only if you take the lens of the body, which I don't prefer (preparing the camera for shooting, for example) - there is no way to create three "columns" of the same size, the layout is always two normal and one super narrow or two wide - not the best assistant for long hikes / jogs, will be overloaded when loaded with a full set of lenses, a tripod and a bottle of water. good bag
