Lowepro Fastpack BP Grey 250 AW III

I found that there is enough room for the photo gear I typically bring when traveling light as a photographer, but not so light that my iPhone and Powershot would suffice. Specifically, there's room for a Canon mirrorless camera and two or three lenses, filters, spare batteries, battery charger, etc., plus all the chargers and cables that traveling with a MacBook or an iPad Pro entails. There's room in the top section for snacks or a light lunch, and a day's worth of clothing (in case you're traveling to Grand Rapids while your luggage travels to Grand Forks) or room for layers of clothing in the event that your day starts off cool, gets hot by early afternoon, and goes back to cool in the evening. The straps are comfortable and highly adjustable. And my experience with my other Lowepro backpack tells me that this one should last for many, many years.

I very specifically wanted a pack to fit my Fujifilm X-S10 w/ the 100-400mm lens mounted, 1-2 spare lenses and the typical extra bits, with as much room for non-camera stuff as possible. I did all the math, but still wasn’t sure if I should get the “pro” model and I’m glad I didn’t. It’s perfect. There’s enough room for the big zoom(which is not a small lens), with a 1.4x TC, mounted to the camera and, if I move 1 of the dividers, that lens fits in the bottom bay(?) and I can have another lens mounted with room for a 3rd in the upper bay. I did have to use one of the short dividers to extend the main divider to make this all work, but work it does. Otherwise it’s what you’d expect from Lowepro. Well constructed, lots of padding(even on the outside of the upper section), all the interior pockets are double layered or fleece lined and the zippers/pulls are great. You could easily fit an IPad in the outer, padded pocket. I think they’re trying to check a lot of boxes with this pack as far as end use goes, so I wouldn’t really call this a hiking pack, but considering the amount of weight you could potentially fit in it I think the shoulder straps, back padding and shoelace of a waist belt are adequate. Short hikes(<6 miles) are what I got it for and there’s plenty of room for water, snacks, etc… The only downside I see is that there really isn’t a good way to “securely” lash a tripod to it, regardless of what they say. The water bottle pocket and side strap is floppy and annoying and the bottom straps aren’t long enough to slip a tripod through(and cinch it tight). Not the end of the world, but I/you will have to sort something out when we want to have a tripod along.

Was looking for a bag to fit canon r5 with battery grip, 28-70, 70-200 2.8, 50 1.8 and ronin rsc 2 gimbal in the top portion. After trying several bags this was the perfect fit. The quick access compartment was a perfect fit and still left some room to pull my camera out on the fly. Other bags struggled having the depth needed to comfortably pull the camera out of those compartments. It’s a little bigger than I wanted to go (not by much) but all of the pockets, comfort and ease of zippers make it worth it.

Perfection. I got both and ended up keeping the smaller one. It is perfect for my camera gear and my laptop. This is an upgrade from my lowepro sling bag. They make a solid bag you really can not beat it. Worth the price. This bag has way more cushion than my sling and the dividers are solid. I really love this bag.

Fits my Camera and two large lenses and feels safe and secure. Wish the top pocket was a little larger but I’m happy with the bag.

I use the GH7 plus lenses. This is a great backpack to stow under an airline seat. My old Lowpro was a tad bit larger, and on some flights I had a problem jamming it under the seat fully loaded. The zippers look like they will hold up well. I have two small complaints. My old pack had internal zippers. This one has pockets in the top. So stuff slips out. This is my primary bag for small footprint video shoots. Laptop, Camera, three lenses, batteries, power supplies and a few other odds and ends. (Cards... blower... etc.) Everything fits compactly. It is a bit of a squeeze to bring the two Panny Zoom lenses - the 10-25 and 25-50 but I do squeeze them in there. They are quite large so instead I can bring two bodies and several smaller lenses like the 25, 42.5 and the 14-140 etc. Strongly recommend for shooters - although probably works better for MFT cameras than your full frame cameras. It suits my needs for compact gear air travel well.

I picked up this bag to carry around my essential items for covering news: I take with me my canon 80D, an 18–35 mm zoom, my telephoto lens, a sturdy metal tripod, battery accessories and my iPad Pro. Everything is arranged nicely inside the bag and I am able to carry everything with relative ease. I have read at least one review stating that a lens fell out from the zipper enclosure. I don’t know how this is possible, considering that the zipper enclosure is very snug, at least for me.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter. She took it on a trip to Europe and was able to get her camera as well as other carry-on items in the bag easily. It is well-made and well thought out.

CAVEAT: I haven't taken it out to a job yet BUT: It is really well designed and feels secure. I was using inexpensive bags where the plastic zippers would just let go and the next thing you know, lenses and packages of CF Express cards are dropping out of the bag. So this is an amazing investment since it won't do that. The zippers on this bag are not load bearing, AND they are far far better than what I had before. I trust this bag with my cameras, lenses and extra thingies one needs on a shoot. And its still VERY reasonably priced, and orders of magnitude cheaper than replacing the contents from loss or a fall.

If you are looking for a bag that will hold camera gear whilst also holding your other day to day items this is the backpack for you. I’m using this backpack for school at the moment, which means I’m able to fit school books, laptop, pencil case clothes and more. Whilst also having the ability to bring my camera with me in its own compartment. This makes me more likely to bring my camera with me and take photos. The bag is of super high quality and looks sleek and professional. Like I said you could use this backpack for other purposes other than photography and it’s actually built better than most backpacks out there. I have a large tripod which at first I had a hard time fitting but I found if I took one of the pre existing straps and moved it to the top handle on the backpack it holds it snug. This bag can handle large tripods well. For the price this bag is absolutely brilliant and definitely worth taking a look at for yourself!!

Great camera bag. Carried my DSLR, 3 lenses, drone, GoPro and all the extras.

a slightly bigger bag with a squarer shape to it. Still, its comfortable to wear and holds everything we need.

Mucha capacidad y buena organizacion para la camara y objetivos varios
