This bag is designed well and will hold plenty of equipment. I have grown to really appreciate the way you can slide the bag around and change equipment without having to take the bag off. I highly recommend it.

I recently purchased the Lowepro Flipside 400 AW Backpack from Adorama. As with every purchase from Adorama the transaction was as excellent and the product is as expected. I am very pleased with the Flipside 400 for my needs. It accommodates my two 7D bodies and multiple lenses. It is comfortable.

Bought this to carry a Sigma 150-600mm Sport w/ Canon 5D, plus other lenses & gear. Like the rear access a lot, but the use of space in such a large pack was disappointing. With the lens in the middle, all of the padded compartments on the sides of it are too small for other lenses, unless they're small lenses. And, a lot of the space is in the DEPTH of the pack - so you have to stack gear, making it hard to access. The pack should be a bit WIDER and not as deep. Finally, the rain cover only works if the pack is sitting on the ground, not on your back. For the price, I returned it.

Good backpack and can transport a lot of material. My main concern is that to really take a good use of the flip possibility a strap should have been added to support the external part (upper part) of the backpack to secure contain of the back pack while loading or uploading it with the strap passing around neck (when in flipped position). I am going to modify mine accordingly with a spare camera strap (like those from OPTECH USA) attached to the top handle.

It looked like a great deal. In fact this bag looked like the bag I had been hunting for. I have been looking for a bag I could lay down and keep the part of the bag that was riding on my back clean. I hate to lay my bag on the snow or ground. Only to pick it up an press the dirty or wet side to my back. This bag would not unzip fully. I would continually fight with the open flap because it would not open enough to lay flat or even stay open long enough to get gear in or out. I mistakenly returned it because shipping was more than I paid for the bag. Lesson learned.

This Flipside is very well designed and has an excellent capacity for its size. I bought it even though I have other Flipside models which are smaller as I am going to use it as carry-on luggage for a European trip. Its a bit large for a day pack but I needed something that would hold my entire kit without checking any bags. It can hold 2 full size camera bodies plus one pro body and 3 medium size lenses along with a small flash, batteries and other small items. The Flipside design is especially well suited to travel as it cannot be opened from behind you and the shoulder straps and belt make it very comfortable for carrying. I always use one of my Flipsides for foreign travel for comfort and security.

I have had this bag on many trips, Ecuador, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, England, France, and all over the US. I carry three lenses and a 5D body, plus accessories. It works, it is convenient and it fits in overhead bins without issue. No bag is perfect, but this one does the job for me. It is reliable and I have looked at others. Why change when you have a good one.

Have not had it long or used it much but it is the usual Lowepro great quality. I am 6'3" and find the pack to fit comfortably with the waist belt fastened. Fits good amount of gear and accessories. Couldn't beat the price.

I purchased this bag for my husband and he loves it! He has been playing with it since Christmas morning lol... he's so excited to use it he keeps saying when the weather changes we can go on more outdoor shoots now, because the bag makes easier for him carry his equipment. It's durable, and light weight the loves that he can configure the inside compartments the way he wants. And let say that the connnected all weather cover was so exciting to him. Told me that now he doesn't have to worry about looking for a cover because it's connected. Thanks adorama I've gotten a birthday, anniversary, and Valentine's Day gift request already. Guess you now a customer for life! Oh and your shipping is awesome!

Yes. Easily accessible for equipment and lightweight. I was sold there. Not to mention it's reasonably priced. My wife enjoys the bag, needed something easier to carry all her equipment for different shoots.

I like this bag. I bought it because it is a 450 size yet less expensive that the standard back opening bag. This is a flip bag so it opens on the back, which enables it to be more secure when you are wearing it. I have a nikon 750, 70-200, 24-120, 50mm, nikon 5200 and an 18-55 dx lens as well as spare batteries for both in this bag at one time. It all fits in the partition sections. It also has a tie on for a tripod. Buy it, you can't beat it for the price.

I am going on a walking tour in Europe this summer and wanted a lightweight camera bag. After reading some of the reviews, I decided on the Flipside. I had wanted the smaller 300 bag but opted for the 400 because it was all weather and included the cover. I am only 5'2" and wanted something smaller, but it's an awesome size. It's bulky due to the amount of padding to protect the camera, but it's amazingly lightweight. I'm hiking with it to get used to it, but honestly, it's lightweight enough that it's more about getting use to the size than the weight. I love it. If you are looking for a lightweight bag that you can carry some snacks and water. This is a great option. Plus, because it's a Flipsdie, it will be impossible for anyone to try to steal my camera while I'm walking. The zipper is against my back and underneath a flap, so when I'm wearing it, I don't even feel the zipper. If you are thinking about a backpack camera bag, this really is an awesome option. There's plenty of padding with velcro, so you can organize the inside however it suits your needs. Adorama delivers quickly and for free. They are an awesome company to deal with. I highly recommend both the bag and Adorama.

I read that the 400 version of this bag doesn't fit well for taller folks so I opted to grab the 500AW and sure enough, it's HUGE. Massive. It sits 6" taller than my last bag and can hold MORE than enough of what I need. In the main storage compartment I'm able to hold two full frame Nikon bodies, one with a 70-200vr and one with a 24-35 f/2 Sigma lens, three SB600s stacked on top of each other, triggers, remotes, race harness, business cards, memory cards, passport, two extra lenses AND MORE. I'm not even utilizing all of the space in this bag. It's GINORMOUS. I'm 6' and a healthy sized guy and this bag is comfortable to wear. The flip feature is OK but I baby my gear too much and just remove it from my back when I need to grab something. (I run around weddings with a race harness anyways...) So if you're looking for a solid bag with nifty features and you understand the flip aspect of it all, go for it. Grab it!

I was hesitant to buy this after a couple of reviews talked about it not being for tall people. I am 6'4" and it fits fine. I am happy that I can fit 2 bodies and 4 lenses and still have room left. My only fault is that I would like to see more smaller pockets and places to put odds and ends. Maybe I just carry to much!

Holds my Canon camera with six lenses. flash & a lot of accessories. The only negative is that it won't hold my older model 15' laptop.

So far, it seems to meet expectations. Seems to be as advertised. I haven't had much chance to use it yet.

I am planning on using this for a trip to Utah. Since there are many hiking trails this seemed to fit my needs. It is very flexible and can handle large lenses. So much in fact that the weight full loaded will shock you. The backpack can handle it if you can. I will be packing a 7d with an everyday zoom, wide angle, 70-300, flash and accessories. This leaves me with room for personnel items as well. I was thinking of taking a 50-500, but realized the weight was too much when I tried it on. Excellent product.

The bag is great, very spacious inside and comfortable to wear, but the bulky hip/lumbar straps can get in the way when trying to remove gear or accessing the main compartment. I wish they were removable. Aside from that one nit pick, it's a great bag.

First this bag holds 2 bodies and 4 lenses including 2.8 70-200 and a flash with room for filters, release and other things like cards and batteries. I can keep this packed and it's ready to sling over my shoulder and toss in the truck. I found I could loop the waist strap around the front and cinch it down so it's not flapping around. I don't flip it around as it would be in the way but I like the strap to make it easy to carry on a hike. Plenty of rings and places to hook things like extra water bottles, gloves or a rain coat. There is not enough room for 2 bodies, 3 or 4 lenses and a 150-600 but I don't usually need a long lens for carry around and besides, it's best kept in a dedicated bag anyway. Plenty of protection and I like the way it's custom configurable. It's portable enough to be with me 24/7. Great bag and great price.

I needed a bag that could carry all I need for the average job in the field. Not too big, and not too small: just one that would carry everything I usually bring along. This Lowe backpack is just what I wannted.

It has plenty of room for my 2 cameras Canon t2i with 18-270 zoom and Sony A6000 with Sony 18-200 zoom and gear. I am about five feet six (5'6") and hat the shoulder straps were extended to the max before it was come forts le which put the chest strap at my neck. My waste is a 38 and again the straps were near the end. Could not use this in the winter wearing a winter coat. Sent it back

Just spent a week of traveling and hiking with this bag, and couldn't be happier with it. Had room for all my lenses, with padded dividers protecting everything. Zippers and pockets galore. All my gear survived the trip, and the pack kept it all organized. The ability to attach my tripod on the back was the deal-maker feature for me, and it worked well.

More than expected. Perfect for two bodies and three lenses. That to include my Sigma 150-600mm C lens and 24-105 f4 canon and macro canon 100mm f2.8.
