Lowepro Nature Trekker Aw Ii Camera Backpack Review

The Lowepro Flipside 500 AW II is a great camera backpack, I am upgrading from the 200 AW II which has served me well but I needed something bigger now. My number one backpack requirement was to find one that could fit a Sony a7sIII with a 200-600 lens attached, a Sony 70-200 on either side and some room to spare for other lenses, filters and blowers etc and this backpack turned out to be perfect. It's certainly much bigger than the 200 AW II but I think it fits nicely on my back and not only is it comfortable, but I feel like my gear is safe and not bouncing around while I'm trekking around woodlands or cities. I don't think I've ever spent over $100 for any kind of backpack, and I know this one is actually on the cheaper end of camera backpacks, but overall it's been stellar and would absolutely buy it again if I had to.

I recently purchased a new Lowepro Flipside 200 AW II Camera Backpack as my old one had finally given out after many years of good use. There are some improvements with the new one, more compartments and space to store things. I use it exclusively to carry my Nikon D850 with attached Tamron 150-600mm zoom lens. These fit snugly with lots of padding. There is a protective cover for if/when it rains as well. Lowepro makes a great product!

This is, by far, the best backpack that I ever had. My Lowepro 450 AW II was super heavy and not practical for daily use, the National Geographic Africa is the perfect size and weight for daily use.

I uses these straps on my Lowepro BP 450 AW II, they work great for securing items to the backpack, but the latches used to mount the straps to the backpack seem to open randomly, I have a 3 ish pound gimbal mounted to it, I use of these straps to secure it, I wouldn't use any less for any piece of equipment as I would be concerned of it failing.

The Lowepro Photo Active 300 AW Backpack (Blue/Black) is a stylish, attractive, and durable backpack. All compartments are well-thought-out, and the backpack is well-made. One drawback is that the insert for camera gear simply fits into the backpack, creating gaps between the backpack walls and the insert. If something small is placed in the top compartment, it can fall through the gap and down to the bottom. However, I am confident that this is a minor issue for such a stylish backpack.

A Lowepro customer for years, I purchased this Trekker Backpack to use instead of my Lowepro roller suitcase because of its smaller profile but it will hold nearly the same amount of camera accessories as well as my two cameras with lenses mounted.

The product is well designed and manufactured. I use it primarily with my Lowepro Toploader Zoom 50 AW II camera case, but its interlock system works equally well with my Lowepro Stealth Reporter D400 AW Shoulder Bag.

I've had the Lowepro Protactic bp 450 aw ii for a while now, but, while it fit all of my gear, it was uncomfortable when heavy. And, it was heavy without much gear in it. Also, there was no room for non-camera related gear. The Action x50 solves both of those problems. It is bigger, but lighter when empty. It has room for everything that I need, with room to expand! I wore it fully loaded the other day for several hours with absolutely no discomfort. I also like that it is very weather resistant. It may be a bit big for people with smaller frames, but fits me nicely. Highly recommend.

I purchased the Lowepro Nova 200 AW II to replace an older, smaller bag that experienced a zipper tear. The quality of the new bag is exceptional and exceeds any expectations I have had. The zipper quality throughout the bag is top notch, and the ample pockets are in just the right places. My only wish, is that it had an attachment point for some of the Lowepro belt accessories to hook onto the ends of the bag. Overall, I highly recommend the Lowepro Nova 200 AW II based on quality and price point and the ability to pack most of what I need.

Got it as a free gift from my Lowepro ProTactic BP 450 AW II purchase. Used it as a fill light when I took a group photo the other day, worked amazing! Love it!
