Lowepro Flipside 300 AW II camera backpack – black
If you’ve ever spent a day out with camera gear only to find the wrong lens in the wrong pocket, this pack sorts that out in no time. The Flipside 300 AW II is for photographers who want secure, quick access and sensible organisation without any faff. The flipside, or body-side, entry means the bag stays pressed to your back when you open it, so your kit is safe from pickpockets and stays off muddy ground.
What it carries and why it works
It’ll take a DSLR body plus multiple lenses — comfortably up to around seven depending on size — as well as a flash or a compact drone. There’s a padded compartment for a 15-inch laptop and another for a 10-inch tablet. A dedicated tripod attachment makes life easier on landscape shoots or when you need a quick set-up. Fewer trips back to the car and no more unpacking everything just to change a lens.
Features that make a difference
- Secure body-side access: reach kit fast without taking the bag off.
- High-capacity, adjustable padded interior: protects and organises cameras, lenses, accessories and small drones.
- Dedicated tablet and laptop pockets: keep screens well away from knocks and scratches.
- Tripod attachment and stretch mesh pockets: stash a bottle, cables or small extras where they’re easy to grab.
- Removable padded inserts: reconfigure the layout in seconds to suit your kit for the day.
- Waterproof rain cover included: a proper bonus when the weather turns — very handy in winter.
Yes, a fully loaded camera bag gets heavy — no two ways about it. The Flipside’s layout and straps help spread the weight sensibly and stop fragile kit knocking together, so it’s easier on your shoulders. It comes into its own whether you’re in a crowded city, travelling or out on a hill: quick access in a crowd, and full rear protection on the trail.
Practical notes and specs
Product dimensions: 28.5 x 25 x 49 cm. Item weight: around 1.2 kg, so the pack itself is relatively light compared with many camera bags. The outer fabric is water-resistant and the pack includes a rain cover for heavier weather. If you’re unsure whether a particular camera body or a long telephoto will fit, it’s worth checking your lens measurements against the bag’s internal space before buying — much better than guessing.
Ideal for photographers who want a secure, organised way to carry a serious kit while staying ready to shoot at a moment’s notice. No faff — just sensible storage, solid protection and quick access when it matters.
