5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic bag for a landscape photographer!
I'm fairly new to photography so have been building up my gear slowly slowly, and this backpack is the latest addition. I needed a bag that would pass as carry on luggage on a plane, fit all my essential camera gear and some clothes and toiletries too. This bag does just that!I went on a trip and brought my canon 7dmk2, 10-18mm, 24-70mm 70-200mm plus my vlogging gear, spare batteries, packed my clothes around it all and it all fit perfectly. (I didn't bring that many clothes to be fair)The bag is very well made, includes a water proof cover and a tripod holder literally everything a landscape photographer needs in a bag.It's also incredibly comfortable it has waist straps to easy the weight being taken by my shoulders and the straps are very well padded.This backpack isn't the cheapest but if you compare it to others on the market is actually very reasonable and I love it!
5.0 out of 5 stars Bomb proof
I'll get the only negative out of the way first: it's a tight fit getting a 15 inch MacBook Pro into it. I was using it (as I'm sure many others do) as carry on luggage and I need to squeeze a lot into it. Thankfully, the padding on the straps made lugging seven kilos around as pleasant as it can be. It really came into its own, however, using it in its intended role in Malaysia: swivelling it around to access my camera and over valuables was a breeze - it just feels like a lot of thought went into designing it. It's a very sold, robust piece of kit, just the right size for a day sack, and I look forward to having it with me for many more adventures in the future.
4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Camera Bag with Exceptions
I originally had the Lowepro Flipside 350 and have been using that for 5 years, my kit was Canon 77D, Tamron 18-300mm lens, Neewer Flash and Wireless Trigger, filters, intervalometer, 24mm lens and Canon 10-18mm lens, this rucksack could hold it all.I decided to up my game and purchased the Sigma 150-600mm lens along with another second hand Canon 77D lens, this meant that all my original kit could work on the same camera.Upon receiving it all I quickly realised that I needed another camera bag, I was initially looking at the Lowepro ProTactic 2 450 bag. Annoying thing on Bolo it was not sold in the UK with a 2 week delivery, it being delivered from the US or Europe whereas the 350 could be delivered the next day. Lowepro direct were charging another £50 to deliver it, other sites were also expensive compared.I opted for Lowepro LP37131-PWW, Flipside 500 AW II, it's a great looking bag and have fit all my gear including the new Sigma lens attached to a camera body along with the Tamron lens attached to the camera body in the bag, have even fit 2 torches, extension tubes and USB power bankWhen out in the field I can put my ipad in the bag along with various cables and chargers, it's fantastic that it all fits. The weight is the key issue now.Pros of this bagThe bag seems to be waterproof, it does come with a rain coat albeit not used it yet, it can hold all my gear and a little bit more, have attached longer zip tethers as the ones supplied were somewhat shortThe zips are very sturdy, the bag is padded but I wouldn't just want to let it fall to the floor, the straps are padded, it has a chest and waist strap which is really handy with the weightThe appearance of the bag looks good, it doesn't stand out, hey I'm a camera bag.Cons of this bagWith all my gear today I decided to go for a 3 mile walk, I did quickly find after about a mile the shoulder straps began to take their toll, upon fastening the chest and waist straps it eased off somewhatMost annoying thing about this bag are the shoulder straps, don't know why but my previous bag is a similar design but they didn't get in the way when unzipping, the shoulder straps get in the way, you have to physically push them out of the way then when you unzip then the waist strap gets in the way when trying to rezip itIf you have a tripod, you put two legs into the drinks like pouch on the side then at the top there is one tether strap to fasten it in place. I would have also preferred a tether strap at the bottom to hold the tripod in place, you can't even buy a separate tether to fasten itOverallApart from that I am very happy with this bag, will see how long the quality lasts with the amount of gear I have in it. Maybe a few years down the line something else will come out or hopefully the 450 may become available on Bolo
5.0 out of 5 stars This Bag Is Big!
When I came home and saw the cardboard box Bolo has just delivered, I thought OMG, if that compares to what's inside, I might have to send it back! However, upon opening, yes, the bag is big but that's what I needed. Anything smaller wouldn't have worked. I wanted something to take my camera gear from home to work each day and hold at least 95% of it. My previous bag would only allow one camera with lens, flash and light meter. If a different lens was required or anything particular, I would have to go home to fetch it. Considering the amount of weight produced by two Nikon D300s cameras and five lenses, it feels very comfortable on my back. The weight seems to distributed more over the hips rather than all on the shoulders so it has potential for longer walks. It has a stow away cover but I haven't needed to use it yet. There are some hide away fittings to hold a tripod which is a nice touch. The only downside to adding a tripod, apart from adding even more weight, is that the waterproof cover won't work. It appears to be well made - this is my third camera bag made by Lowepro. So far, so good!
5.0 out of 5 stars The complete bag.
The complete bag and not too heavy. I've owned a LOT of camera bags, as my wife can provide evidence towards, I even owned the former version of this particular bag too. I've just come back from the Lake District and hiked around extensively with a Nikon D850, a Nikon D800 (infrared converted, hence the need to carry two bodies) with a Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 VR and Nikon 70-200mm f/4. In addition, throw in some Lee filters & 105mm polariser, batteries, large bottle of water, some snax etc. That lot isn't light but the bag is very comfortable and looks fantastic in green - way too much camera gear is black and boring this is a highly functional AND great looking bag that carries enough if you want to go full on pro landscape photography. If you're into bigger lenses than these you are likely to want the 500AW version. Make no mistake - the shoulder and waist straps are very important as is the chest strap - if you're going to carry any weight the 300AW is not the way to go.
Small and fits the need
I already have a large photo backpack (MindShift Rotation 180) so I was searching for a very small (primary criteria) and functional pack. After looking over nearly all offerings in this category, I decided the "Lowepro Flipside 200 AW II" was the best choice. It is most definitely a small backpack. Even knowing the dimensions - after opening the Bolo box, I was surprised at how small it really was! However, I am able to fit my R5, 100-500, 24-70 and a 50 along with extra batteries, charger etc in a zipped compartment at the top of the gear compartment. You can also carry a small tripod - either in the side external (water bottle) pockets with straps near the top or centrally via a pull-out pocket at the bottom and straps at the top. There is a front compartment where you could store say a flash. There really is very little extra space for such things as rain-gear, food etc. It's most definitely a space-optimized design! If you need more space, there are 3 larger Flipside models available.I can report that the method to access the rear gear compartment does in fact work. By leaving the waist strap done up and flipping off the shoulder straps, you rotate the pack around in front of you. Unzip the back and access your gear. No worries. It's comfortable to carry and being small, it's unobtrusive.

Zaino pratico ma allo stesso tempo capiente
Cercavo uno zaino pratico, non tanto grande, da farci stare due corpi reflex (nel mio caso 2 Canon 6d mark IV) rispettivamente con obiettivi già montati 16/35 f4 e 24/105 f4 usm. Sono soddisfatto perché ci stanno bene e lo zaino si porta bene senza affaticare la schiena. Dovrebbe rientrare anche nelle misure per bagaglio a mano in aereo (piccola borsa) anche se alto 43 cm (sfora di 3 cm i limiti imposti) ma nettamente più stretto. Ottima fattura dei materiali e ben rifinito. Puntuale e precisa la consegna da parte di Bolo. Marco F.
Mein bester Fotorucksack!
Ich hatte bereits mindestens 3 solche Rucksäcke (Flipside 500) und auch aktuell noch zwei. Einer im Gebrauch und einer wartet an der Reihe.Hier kann man alles unterbringen, was von der Ausrüstung auf der Reise benötigt wird: z. B. zwei Profi-Gehäuse, mehrere lichtstarke Objektive, Blitze, Zubehör, Laptop etc.Einziges, was hier ein Limit setzt, wie viel ist man bereit ist, zu schleppen.Rucksack ist auch vom äußeren relativ kompakt und darum weckt keine große Interesse beim Check-In im Flughafen.Dieses Model bietet kein Maximum am Tragekomfort aber dafür relativ leicht und günstig.Großer Vorteil - dass man an die Ausrüstung nur von innen kommt. Ich ziehe auf den Reisen immer den Regenschutz drauf (es ist in einem ziemlich benutzen Zustand) und so sieht das ganze nicht nach einem Fotorucksack mit teurer Ausrüstung aus.
Muy práctica y cómoda.
Es el tamaño que estaba buscando para esas salidas en las que no quieres o no necesitas cargar con tanto equipo.En mi caso, me cabe una Canon 60D con un 70-300mm montado y un 17-50mm. Además de batería, algún filtro, intervalómetro, perilla de aire, incluso alguna pieza de fruta y barrita de cereales para el camino. La fijación del trípode en la parte trasera es cómoda. Y en los bolsillos laterales externos puedes llevar una botella de agua. Muy contento con esta mochila.
