Lowepro LP37269-PWW Pro Trekker BP 450 AW II Outdoor Camera Backpack with MaxFit Dividers, Fits 15-inch Laptop/iPad, for Pro Mirrorless and DSLR, Gimbal, Drone, DJI, Black/Dark grey

Best bag ive used to date carrying about 20kg of camera gear for a days hike.

Fantastic bag and build quality. I use it to carry a camera attached to a 400mm f/2.8 prime. Another zoom 100-500mm, a wide angle 16-35mm, extenders, batteries. Good individual compartment options. Takes a 12inch tablet and generous pockets for other accessories.

Perfect camera bag for me

I have used the 600AW mk III for over a year now. Addressing some of the comments made by other reviewers.1. This is a special purpose bag designed solely to hold a 500/600mm lens with a body ATTACHED. This is made quite clear in lowepro's description. It is not a small version of the 650AW, the latter being a general purpose customisble bag (which, to my knowledge, cannot carry a 600mm with a body attached). Please do your research and do not complain about the lack of internal dividers.2. The mk III torso fitting system is called ActivLift. Pack Jack was in the previous mk II. Since the shoulder straps are part of the ActiveLift plate, it's not possible to wear the bag without this present. If it's not present, it's a packing fault at the factory, not a defect in the bag.3. The lens collar IS included - it's a structural component of the bag and necessary. If it's not present, it's a packing fault not a defect in the bag.4. My bag with lens, body, teleconvertors, large tripod, gimbal head, weighs 12.5kg of which 12kg is kit. The bag's weight is negligible when carrying large kit and not a defect of the bag.5. The lens capture bracket/collar fits snugly around the neck of a lens, is height-adjustable to handle 500/600/800mm, and is placed so that the lens is centred in the bag. It is asymmetrical and not necessary for the front half to be shaped/contoured.6. There are vertical sliplocks running top-to-bottom of both sides of the bag, stitched into 4 (elastic pocket side) and 6 (other side) spaces. There is one horizontal sliplock running front-to-back on each side of the bag, at the height of the top of the zip pocket, stitched into 3 spaces.7. The lens foot fit is tight if you use the larger foot type, but will fit comfortably. I find it useful to brace this against the opening side as an extra support for the lens.8. The zip pocket is sufficient to carry: A tripod tool bag and three 3-inch diameter hemispherical rubber feet. A bicycle multitool with various hex keys. The lens/body/teleconvertor end caps. The soft teleconvertor storage bag (teleconvertor is on the lens). Spare batteries. A travel pack of tissues. I also carry a second teleconvertor in the main compartment next to the lens, but this must be removed when extracting the lens.My thoughts on the bag...A. I would like to see more padding underneath the bag. There appears to be around 1 inch of foam. Since the large lenses tend not to have hard plastic lens caps, and their front elements are vulnerable, more protection here would seem sensible. However, I accept it may compromise the stability of the bag, and the user can always fit more foam, or a hard plate, inside if required.B. It is only possible to attach the tripod foot carrier level with the base of the bag on the non-elastic-pocket side. If you have a very large tripod, or a large gimbal attached, the tripod head will protrude above the top of the bag if attached on the other side. I don't personally find the elastic pocket useful, but others might. I also don't have a problem with the tripod being on one side, but others might. Sometimes I want a second tripod with a scope, but I just carry too much kit ;)Overall I find the bag excellently designed for its very specific purpose. I have not tried Tamrac or Manfrotto bags designed for the same purpose. They may well be better, but the Lowepro does its job.

I'm a professional photographer of 27 years so feel I've had my fair share of experience with camera cases.I've just spent 2 hours prepping this for work next week and I have to say I'm already in love with this bag.The small design touches that you need as a photographer in the field are much appreciated. The transparent inner pockets for kit, the large zip loops, the water-bottle holder pocket, the inner partitions being so well made and easy to move about.I'm not going to lie, the size surprised me. It's actually smaller (I got the 450) than I expected. But then once I started packing it, I realised how clever the interior space actually is. As you can see I have 2 DSLRs in there (with grips attached - the depth of the bag is perfect). A Speedlight (plus it's lastolite brolly and grip in the other section of the bag - no problem!), an attached 14-24 lens on one (a chunky lens), a 70-200 lens hidden under the speedlight, thanks to the clever 'pullable' partition, light-meter, batteries, 4 prime lenses, grey cards, 2 chargers in the pull-out bag, 2 remote controllers, wallet, tape measure and numerous other small tools I need when out capturing architecture or in-situ products etc.Being able to hide the straps away is really useful for me too; especially with the 2 handles. Perfect for lugging it on a train or from a car boot.I've removed the tripod holder, I use a Manfrotto 058 so that beast ain't going on this bag, lol.I've stored the waist strap in the front section with the brolly with no problem at all.On my back, this is surprisingly comfortable.A very confident and thoughtfully designed and well-made bag. 10/10.If you're a photographer used to lugging a lot of gear around with you ... you're going to love this thing.
