Backpack for serious photographers

I now have several backpacks including a backpack from Peak Design which I used to carry my gear to events. I have 2 Sony mirrorless cameras, a full and an APSC. This backpack holds them, lenses and accessories. It's very well made and you don't look like you're trying to be a hipster by wearing it around. No offense, but a lot of camera backpacks look like people trying to look cool at the local coffee shop, not people who actually use them. Some of them are very well made, including the PD, but they are very expensive and some of that money is spent more on style than functionality. If you're looking for a camera backpack that doesn't feel like a backpack, the Lowepro isn't for you. Whether you need a backpack because you've invested heavily in your gear and want to make money from it, or you just want to protect it and not just look cool, this is one of the best backpacks I've tried. cost more than a decent camera lens. In fact, I'd say it's as good as some backpacks that cost twice or nearly as much. I have everything in this bag: hard drives, lenses, straps, cleaning kits, batteries. The only thing it doesn't have is heaps of small pockets for gadgets on the outside, there are only 2 of them, but the side entry on both sides and the full-opening zip are good. If you're traveling and need to get your laptop out in a hurry (for a TSA check), this backpack isn't very quick, although opening the top gives you access to a second zipper on the flap so you can pull it out without opening. The whole pack. This laptop has pretty much everything, and at $200 I'd say it's a steal considering how well made it is. It's not as big as it looks in some photos but it's medium sized it says 25 liters but to be honest it looks like it's a bit bigger. 2 cameras, lenses and a drone will probably not come up, but the combination works well with some accessories. Setting up the separators takes a while, but it's worth it as everything will be adjusted to your hardware when you're done. I recommend it as the best buy camera backpack, which is often overlooked because it's not advertised as crazy as other backpacks.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Sad gear
