Lowepro Flipside 200 AW II camera backpack – Mica/Camo
After a compact camera pack that’s sensible, secure and weather‑aware? The Flipside 200 AW II does exactly that. It’ll take a mirrorless or DSLR with a 70–200mm lens attached and still leave room for one or two extra lenses plus small accessories. Perfect for a day’s shooting, quick trips or when you’re travelling light but won’t compromise on kit.
what makes it useful
The signature flipside design means the main opening faces your body rather than outwards. That keeps kit safer on busy streets or at the airport – no need to put the bag down and rummage about. The built‑in All‑Weather (AW) cover gives solid protection from drizzle and sudden showers, which is a proper bonus on damp British days. There’s also a neat hideaway tripod mount, stretch side pockets and a removable padded accessory pouch so everything has its place and you’re not faffing about looking for bits.
