The black DSLR Video Fastpack 250 AW from Lowepro offers the multimedia shooter a flexible, strong and completely functional way to carry his photo/video or audio gear around. This multi-purpose pack can handle a wide variety of gear up to an including a 15" (38.1 cm) laptop in its own top loading compartment. This pack is designed to handle a pro DSLR (without grip) with an attached lens (up to 24-70mm f/2.8); 2 extra lenses; 1 flash or LED light; headphones; microphone; extra audio gear; 15" laptop; tripod or DSLR video rig.
The pack is made from rugged 300D Poly on the outside and 200D Poly on the inside. This is an all-in-one type pack that carries easily and can be configured to accommodate your shooting needs. The side access pocket is designed for rapid use of your DSLR gear. The Hideaway Tripod Mount makes toting your pod around a breeze and is easy to deploy. And speaking of easy deployment, the Fastpack comes with an All-Weather cover that permits you to travel when the weather isn't exactly the best. It hides away when not needed as does the adjustable waist belt.
For carrying purposes, there are two adjustable shoulder straps supported by a snap-closure sternum strap designed for balance. A hideaway waist belt provides stability while on the job or just walking. Hidden snug against your back is a hidden ID pocket that no one but you will have access to. The top grab handle makes removal of the pack from your car or closet easy.
For storage, there's a purpose-built audio compartment as well as a removable audio utility pouch that is perfect for cables or, perhaps, a small mic or ear piece. For the photo, video or audio enthusiast, this pack is hard to beat for its flexibility and functionality. Backed by Lowepro's limited lifetime warranty, it should be considered another tool to make your work easier and more successful.

Comments about Lowepro DSLR Video Fastpack 250 AW (Black):
This bag is the perfect size, not to big and definitely not too small. I can fit my d7000 body with 17-55 attached, a 10.5mm Fisheye, 35mm, 70-300mm, and a flash all in the main compartment. Then I have my accessories, plus some fun lens attachments, supplies, laptop cables, and of course my macbook. All in this backpack! and it's so confortable. If you are coming from a sling bag like the Slingshot from Lowepro like I did, it is worlds apart having a backpack. And you can sling it around just the same. Having the two shoulder straps for support plus the awesome chest connector that secures the two shoulder straps across your chest is fantastic. It also has a belt but haven't even needed it as of now. I have taken this hiking several times in rocky bumpy terrain and the fabric is solid. The padding is solid on the back, nice and thick and soft on your back. The only thing I miss is the pocket on the very front of the bag towards the base of the bag. Could have added something there, but then the bag would become thicker and may stickout too much. Rockin bag, get it. Get it. You won't be dissapointed.

Comments about Lowepro DSLR Video Fastpack 250 AW (Black):
The Fastpack 250 AW is a very well built camera backpack and is worth the money. I fit a Canon 60d with battery grip no problem and two extra lenses. Its also fits a 15" Macbook Pro and chargers, cords, external hard drives, sketchbook, iPod, and there is still a little room for any audio equipment. The tripod holder is very usefull, and if not using a tripod has a spot for a water bottle. It "slings" nicely over your shoulder for quick shots. Overall a very good buy. Everything on it serves a purposeful function, and it is also very comfortable, even on long hikes. Sturdy bag that has the capability of being weather proof. However, It can be a little small in terms of camera gear space, and seems best suited for someone who enjoys photography as a hobby, if you have a lot of gear go with the bigger version (350 AW).

I mainly use my DSLR for its video capabilities so this back pack is great to store everything you need traveling whether you want to pack light or have all your equipment. The storage compartment is great for personal audio recorders, mics, chords, and your day to day items. It is hard to critique any bad attributes with this backpack, it really does everything it is advertised and is a very convenient tool for anyone.

Beyond my expectations. Very convenient, very confortable to wear for an entire day. Appears to be strong too. Hold my D7000 + 50 mm + 35 mm + 18-200mm + 100 mm macro + 10-24mm in the bottom pocket. Using the top one for what i need during the day. The side tripod holder is excellent - fast and secure.

I returned an Tracmac Evolution 8 for this bag because the Evo 8 had the worst straps and totally lacked proper ergonomics for a camera backpack in today's market. The Fastpack allows for side entry, fits a 15" MacBook Pro and holds my camera and a few lenses with ease. I can fit a full-frame Canon, with with grip and a telephoto attached easy! I even have room left for some of my analog cameras and film! The Fastpack has a good shape and sits on my back well when full, evenly distributing the weight. Very happy with the quality and design of this bag, although it does slouch forward then set on the floor upright - because of the lack of support on the one side due to the horseshoe shaped zipper opening.
