Photography is fun, but carrying equipment? Not so much. Lowepro is taking the hassle out of transporting gear with the release of two new backpacks that are ready to take on a photographer’s biggest and most ambitious adventures. The Photo Active BP 200 AW and Photo Active BP 300 AW are designed with adjustable compartments, tripod holder, laptop compartment, and more.
Key features:
- Three Quick access points
- Quick-Shelf dividers
- CradleFit Laptop compartment
- ActivZone ventilated back panel
- AW backpack cover
- Tripod/GorillaPod attachment
- Trekking pole attachments
- Removable waist belt
- Water bottle holder
- Lightweight and durable
Organization and access:
Camera equipment is fragile and should be arranged properly when packed to avoid damage and accidents. Whether you’re hiking mountain trails or simply carrying things to your next studio project, LowePro’s Quick-Shelf dividers give users the ability to securely store cameras, lenses, mics, travel gear, food, etc. The compression molded dividers can be quickly configured several different ways depending on what you’re lugging around that day. Both backpacks come with the AW backpack cover to further protect equipment from the element.
The Photo Active backpacks offer three points of access: two on the side and one one top. Aside from being incredibly convenient, multiple openings provide users speedy access to their camera if an impromptu shot arises.
Hold all your gear, and then some:
LowePro crafted the active backpacks to carry not only camera equipment and accessories, but whatever your travels require. The BP 200 and BP 300 include attachment for trekking poles, water bottle pockets, a Tricot-lined pocket for valuables, two harness pockets, a laptop compartment, and an entire top half for personal items (like your smartphone, headphones, etc.). The laptop compartment on the BP 200 can fit a 12-inch laptop or a two-liter water reservoir, while the BP 300 can hold a 15-inch laptop or a three-liter water reservoir. The carrying versatility makes both packs ideal for the traveling enthusiast and dynamic photographer.
Size and accessories:
The internal measurements of the BP 200 AW are 24cm x 12cm x 42cm, while the dimensions of the BP 300 AW are 26cm x 12.5cm x 46.5cm, so you get a bit more space with the 300. The smaller of the two backpacks weighs in at 1.22kg and the larger backpack weighs 1.48kg, so both options stay lightweight. Both Photo Active backpacks are stitched with triple ripstop nylon and high abrasion poly, perfectly suited to handle the outdoors. The ActivZone back panel is ventilated and ergonomic to keep users cool and comfortable while adventuring and a belt is added to keep it extra snug.
The Photo Active BP 200 AW and 300 AW can be accessorized with HardSide CS and GearUp. HardSide CS features sturdy protection pods with cushioned insides and hard shell outsides, and GearUp includes translucent carry pouches for further organization.
