Lowepro wins for bags & cases

I've had the smaller Lowepro pack since 2012 and it's been great! So I chose this more expensive backpack over the cheaper ones that I thought were in the same class. My first assignment was at a wedding shoot. I managed to take two Canon cameras with batteries and 6 lenses: Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 Art, Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 Sports, CanonEF-S 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 NanoUSM and Canon EF. -S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6, Canon EF 50mm f1.8 and Canon EF-S 18-55mm macro lens. I was also able to fit two Godox V860IIs and a Godox Xpro trigger, as well as 2 extra batteries for each camera, lens hoods, SD cards and cleaning supplies. The manufacturer's photos don't really illustrate how versatile this backpack is. There is a large pocket on the top, big enough to hold a camera with a Sigma 24-70mm lens attached. At the bottom of the backpack is a quick access zone that can be accessed from all directions. I was able to mount another camera with a 70-200mm lens. The entire panel is then zipped up at the front for access to everything (see manufacturer's photos). There are many interchangeable dividers that allow you to customize the space to suit your needs. The straps seem quite comfortable and there is a detachable padded waist belt with pockets for small items. Summer shoulder straps can also be used. I would remove them but it is not critical. The top has a handle like most day packs, just enough to carry the weight of a fully loaded backpack. The MOLLE style straps on the outside are very nice - they are practical, versatile and aesthetic at the same time. I attached my trip to the side of the backpack with the included tripod bag and straps by attaching everything to the straps. Also included is a drink bottle with drawstring pouch; it's not the same as what you see here at Revain - it's much nicer. You will also receive a small zippered pouch that measures approximately 4"X6"X2. Sleep belts with wide Velcro straps that are too wide to fit MOLLE style shoulder straps. Overall this is a great backpack and worth every penny in my humble opinion. I trust the Lowepro brand for quality and durability; I will be using my other small Lowepro pack with the ProTactic 450 AWII for years to come.
