Review on 🎒 Lowepro LP37015-PWW Flipside Trek BP 350 AW Camera Backpack - Compact Storage for DSLR, Lenses, Tripod, 10 Inch Tablet (Grey/Dark Green) by German Diaz

My main camera bag used to be the Lowepro shoulder bag. As I get more and more lenses, I have two issues with the shoulder bag: convenience and roominess. I can fit a body (Sony a7II) and three lenses in a bag and a water bottle on the side, but it's heavy. Sometimes I have to change shoulders. There's no room for a jacket either, even if I'm only wearing a bodysuit and a lens. I used to have a Tamrac Expedition 7x, but it wasn't comfortable for me. I also found that I had to take the backpack off my shoulders and put it on the ground before I could get anything out, more uncomfortable than I would like. I didn't keep a Tamrac for these reasons, and the experience made me suspicious of camera backpacks. Eventually I realized I really needed a backpack and started looking. I chose this backpack because the flipside design allows me to access my camera and has a compartment for non-camera items. To me, this is the perfect blend of Flipside and Photo Hatchback. I also like his looks. I went on a 3 day trip with this bag and I love it! That's why. It has almost everything I need. I went on a trip with a Sony a7II and four lenses (including two small primes, not big zooms like the 70-2000) on the bottom shelf and clothes, chargers and stuff on the top shelf. I also keep a water bottle and umbrella in the same stretch mesh pocket on one side and a tripod on the other. There are also straps on the front to accommodate more items if needed. Flip side design. I find it very convenient. It's certainly not as fast as opening a shoulder bag, but close enough for me. Just buckle up and swing. After a few seconds I can take out the camera or change the lens. The backpack also doubles as a table for changing lenses when there is no such surface. It also protects my camera and lenses. Nobody can steal them when the backpack is on my shoulders. I walk around with this backpack and my stuff all day and I don't feel any pain in my shoulders or neck. - Build quality. The backpack is well made. The fabric is water-repellent (except for the zippers) and drops of water collect on it. In light rain I feel safe without the AW raincoat. All adjustable shoulder straps have stretch rings to keep the loose end in place. This is of course not optimal. There are a few things I would like to improve, but none of them are a big problem. The zippers are not waterproof. There are no problems with the front ones as they come with an AW cover. But there is no flash in the main chamber compartment. In very heavy rain it is possible for rainwater to run down my back and into the camera compartment. I agree as I probably won't be outside in this heavy rain, but I want to have that kind of confidence. It has a small bottom and tends to fall off. I want it to be stable when I put it on the floor upside down. I need to find a wall or something to lean on. The handle is thin. He looks strong enough for me to win. Don't worry about it falling apart, but it's not as soft as the Flipside 400 AW II. It won't hold a laptop. There is an iPad pocket. It might fit a 12-inch Macbook, but it's on the front, making weight transfer less convenient and less secure. Conclusion: I love this backpack. I think it will replace my shoulder bag in most cases. I recommend for trips and walks around the city. that in most cases it will replace my shoulder bag.
