Lowepro 500 AW II Reviews
Do you need to carry a lot of gear? This is your backpack.
By Mariano
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-20
I bought this backpack so I could carry all my gear to certain events without having to use two separate backpacks. The quality is as excellent as ever. I've had my Flipside 200 for many years; it's been with me to countless events and it's still like new. The Flipside 500 is a very large backpack, so if you're not a big person, it might be uncomfortable. Its internal modularity makes it very versatile, and the protection is simply spectacular. So, if you need to carry two camera bodies, four lenses, a couple of hot-shoe flashes, a radio, cables, and chargers, this is the backpack for you! 100% recommended purchase.
Great bag

I use Nikon D700 body with 4-5 lenses, flashes etc. Would my D700 not wobble around in this bag? ( Body 13cm, bag 19cm height) I would rather go for the 500 AW instead of 400 AW just to have enough space for all my stuff. Is there any extra padding to prevent such issue? Thanks!
No problem, this will work with your gear and the dividers can be adjusted.
