Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black)

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

I'm it carry and to store my DSLR and lens in it. It is great backpack to take only things you need have on an outing!

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

It's smaller than how it looks. The zipper is kinda hard to zip and unzip at the corner area.

Comfortable, good for 3 - 4 lens.

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

Awesome, all in all.

I feel like my camera is well protected from the elements, and very protected if I should fall. I also think that if you attach the all the waist and chest straps, it is virtually unstealable. I don't think even if they cut the straps they could get it away from you!

The only downside is that you can't carry much else besides the camera and lenses, and the water bottle pocked is rather small. My water bottle(about 4 inch diameter) barely fits.

But a great backpack! 5 stars!

Good quality, durable.

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

Small but enough for the camera, 1 or 2 lenses, batteries, cleaning kit and you'll still have place for your wallet and others.
The access from the back is great to protect from pick-pokers. But it is a little annoying to get to the things when you need to hold it to keep it open as the zippers don't open completely.

I was looking for a lightweight backpack and this one is excellent. This is my 4th Lowepro. They are quality products without a doubt. I wish this one had the AW shield though, my only complain.

Bought this camera backpack to carry SLR camera with extra lens on outings. We have used it to go hiking and waterfall sightseeing. The lap belt provided excellent support while accessing the camera and gave a nice work surface to change lenses on the go!

Brilliant backpack - I use this to carry my Nikon D7000 with with 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S VR II Lens with all accessories. It ensure that all my stuff are close by and ready for use any time.

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

I bought this bag for sideline shooting. I've always found the reviews from people saying the bag wasn't big enough highly irritating. Well, all the reviews I found said it would hold a full body camera with a 70-200mm f/2.8 attached. Yes and not. The camera will fit with flexing and bowing, but it's really not tall enough. In the reviews I've read it states this bag will hold that rig and flash and batteries. If I add my flash it's near impossible to zip up. The one poor design is the zippers do not go down far enough either.

I will be keeping this bag for my portrait camera and buying the 300 model for my sports camera.

Also the side storage is worthless. I put my biz cards and two pens in it and it won't zip up.

So if anyone is reading that a full body camera with a 70-200mm f/2.8 attached fits, please disregard and spare yourself a lot of angst and buy the flipside 300.

I wanted a lightweight compact backpack for day trips that didn't look like a camera bag. The Flipside 200 surpassed my expectations. With some creative positioning of padding it holds my dSLR with 75-300 mm lens attached, and has room for a 18-55 mm and 50 mm lenses, flash, batteries, cables, rain cover (purchased elsewhere), tripod, and phone. The bag is well padded, comfortable, durable, secure, and it looks great. I would highly recommend this bag.

Perfectly fit for my Nikon 3100, a small lens and medium size lens, big flash, extra battery, charger, lens protector and extra memory cards, with outside option to carry tripod. Camara bag has a waist band useful to turn around bag pack to the front for easy access to the equipment on the fly. Bag is very compact.

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

The bag is of very good quality. Good for a dSLR with not more than 2 lenses. Can accommodate few cables and a charger. Nothing more than that.
It servers my need perfectly.

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

This bag is light and compact, holds everything you would want. I love the little pocket inside at the top, which holds my phone and purse/wallet safely, even when accessing my gear.
Comfortable to wear hiking for the perfect waterfall shot!
The strap to attach the tripod could be a little wider to minimise wobble, but it's secure and ensures you have both hands free.

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

I prefer backpacks before shoulderbags. With Flipside 200 I can bring my Canon 7D attached to the 300 lens and a 1.4 extender. By keeping the waiststrap attached its possible to reach the camera just by turning the bag around hanging on your waist. You will reach all your gear whithout putting the bag on the ground. Its perfect when you don´t wan´t to bring all your gear.

Excelenet Product, very good design

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

Perfectly fits my camera and a bunch of accessories - lightweight so good for hiking/biking/just walking around the city. Love that it can be easily turned to my front side for easy camera/lens access without having to stop and put the bag down.

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

The backpack is a good bag for carrying 1 SLR and a couple lenses. However, if your lens is long, you may have to store it horizontally, as is the case with my 55-250mm lens. Adjusting the velcro dividers can be kind of a pain, but once you arrange them the way that suits your purposes best, it is a good storage backpack.

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

This is a good secure bag. The only way in to the main compartment is flat against your back.

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

I'm only 5'2", but this bag fits perfectly. This is a much better way to transport my gear when I go on shooting walks. It holds my D60, two lens and a flash, and I still have room.

Comments about Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Arctic Blue/Black):

I use this product everyday, I am a photojournalist for the school I attend. I use the case whenever I go to shoot games and events. This is the reason I bought the case in the first place. I needed a backpack camera bag for easy traveling, and it has completely fulfilled that.
Items in my kit:
50D
50mm
70-200mm f/2.8 L
17-55mm f/2.8
+ multiple cables, portable harddisk, & filters.

I have this bag filled to its max, but that is the way I prefer it. The bag is also much more padded then I thought it would be, and the security of the flap being on the rear is much appreciated. The only down side I have found with the bag is that the way it is constructed there is about an inch and a half at the bottom that is a little harder to get to... though this is where i store the nifty fifty.
