Lowepro Off Trail 1 Camera Beltpack - Black

Comments about Lowepro Off Trail 1 Camera Beltpack:

I bought this bag to carry my DSLR(Cannon T1i) around Disney World on a recent vacation. Worked great for this. The body and the kit lens fit easily into the main compartment. Actually only took the one lens and used the side compartments to carry snacks and other stuff and worked well for that. I often take the lens cases off the main bag and just carry it like that as a lightweight bag. It only has the belt loop but I often loop it over my shoulder and works pretty well like that as a shoulder bag. Be sure to check measurements for any lens as a have a 70-300mm lens that is just a bit too large to fit in the lens case. There are not a lot of bells and whistles on this bag ie no zippered place for data cards etc, but the price is very good for a LowePro bag and I knew that when I bought it. Would buy again.

This is a great camera case! My wife and I recently took the kids (ages 1, 5, and 8) to Disney and I used this to carry my camera so I wouldn't have it dangling around my neck the entire time. The belt is wide and comfortable to wear - I used it for 12-15 hours a day for 4 days in a row without any problem or discomfort.The main compartment is just large enough to hold my Canon 40D with the 24-105L lens attached and a wide neck strap on the camera. The fit was perfect and the top still zippers closed. It will definitely not hold the 40D with the 24-70L lens on it, since that lens is longer, or a vertical grip. The two side pouches are completely self contained and detachable. They attach to the main compartment very securely, so no worries there. On our trip, I carried the 40D with lens attached in the main compartment. One of the side compartments was big enough to hold my 430EX speedlight and my sunglasses (and still zipper close), while the other side compartment was used to hold my bottle of water. If I didn't carry a bottle of water in the other side, it easily would have held another lens, batteries, CF cards, etc. It was really a perfect arrangement for walking around the park with the kids all day. I had my camera at the ready (I took almost 1000 pictures over 4 days), a real flash if I needed it (and I did use it enough to justify bringing it) and a bottle of water to drink! Since the side compartments are separate, there was no worry about my water bottle making my camera wet at all. When I wasn't using the camera, I just twisted the pack around to the back and I barely noticed it was there and I had my hands free.When I wanted the camera, I just spun the pack around and pulled it out.This is by far, the best [$] I've spent in a long time.

Almost perfect for what it is intended for.

Snug main compartment with inserts to secure the camera, and two detachable lens cases. It's intended to be a waistpack, but you can attach a strap (doesn't come with one) to it to carry it like a traditional case too.

I backpack with this, and carry the body with a standard zoom in the main compartment, usually a compact telephoto or macro lens in one lens case, and various accessories or misc. gear in the other lens case. It's relatively stable and comfortable, I have quick access to everything, and there is no wasted space - all in all a nice little product.

I believe there is a larger version for bigger setups too, check the dimensions to ensure it is appropriate for your needs - it fits my gear very well.

My only gripe is that I wish it were a little more weatherproof, or had some sort of weathercover like some other Lowepro packs do - but of course there are do-it-yourself solutions to this problem, so not a big deal.
