Product details
Lowepro Flipside BP 400 AW III camera backpack – black
If you want to carry proper camera kit into the wild without constant faffing, this is the bag for you. It behaves like a proper daypack — tough fabrics, sensible padding where it matters, and a smart layout that keeps kit organised and quick to hand. The All Weather (AW) cover keeps everything dry when the heavens open, and the reinforced front adds extra protection when you set it down on rough ground.
Quick access that works where you work
Slip the pack off, lay it down and unzip the back panel for full access to the camera compartment — simple and secure. There’s also a single-side entry for fast lens swaps when a shot appears and you don’t fancy upending the whole bag. Perfect on a windy ridge or in a crowded market.
What fits and why it matters
- Accommodates a DSLR with a portrait grip or a mirrorless setup with multiple lenses; there’s room for a compact drone or a travel tripod too.
- Dedicated padded sleeve for a 15″ laptop plus space for a 10″ tablet, so editing on the move isn’t a pain.
- Front compartment with organising pockets keeps phone, cables and small bits where you can find them, and a removable padded pouch tidies away chargers and cords.
Practical details and build
YKK zips with 10 mm teeth run smoothly, front EVA bumpers protect valuables when the pack’s down, and a PU-coated front adds abrasion resistance. The All Weather cover shields against rain, snow, dust and sand — a proper advantage on winter shoots or dusty tracks. The internal layout is flexible for mixed kits, so whether you switch between mirrorless and DSLR setups or tuck in some spare layers, it adapts without fuss.
Technical specs and dimensions
Product size: 33 x 24 x 48 cm. Item weight: 1.4 kg. Includes a removable padded top accessory pocket and an organiser panel for small items. Supplied with an All Weather cover for added protection in bad weather.
Use cases and common questions
- Ideal for landscape photographers heading into the hills who need quick access and proper weather protection.
- Great for travel shooters who want one bag for camera kit plus a laptop for on-the-go editing.
- Urban photographers will appreciate the secure back access — handy on public transport and in busy streets.
Wondering about large pro bodies or long telephoto lenses? The pack’s built for mixed kits and portrait-grip bodies, but very long pro lenses may be better off in a dedicated case. Also double-check tripod fit if you’re carrying a full-size travel tripod, as oversized tripods might need an alternative attachment. Overall, it’s a versatile, robust bag that keeps kit safe, easy to reach and ready for the next shot — whether on a blustery cliff or a sunlit Greek island.
