Sturdy yet light

Backpack arrived on time. Purchased as a gift.  We were both impressed with the amount of room and the padding on it. The only draw back was there is no place to attach or store a tripod.  But we did know that before I purchased it.  For the price we feel it was a great purchase.

Camera back pack

nice first time pack

Very nice and sturdy bag. Lots of room for accessories.

Great bag to carry all the stuff you need!

Purchased this backpack because my old camera bag does not fit all of my gear anymore. I needed a bag that will fit two mirrorless cameras and a bunch of lenses for each system. I was skeptical at first about the open-from-the-side design but I was sold once I saw the benefits. I was able to fit all my gear, some microphones and filters, and still have extra space for some small clothing when I travel. If you are more like a pro, this may not be the bag for you as it may not have enough space for your gear. The ProTactic line might be better suited for pros. Overall, this bag has been by far the best camera bag I have ever owned. And for the price point I purchased this at $, it was one of my best purchases ever. Highly recommend it.

Perfect bag for my collection

Perfect. I had a non-branded one and I saw this on sale. Good thing I bought it. I love it. Light weight, very spacious and and at right places. The only thing is upper front part is not padded enough for camera and/or lens. You have to use one portion for both camera and lenses. Good ergonomics and weight distribution while putting back on. Can also hand on a camera stand (small one) on it.

Great light weight yet sturdy bag

This is my third Fastpack 250 bag. Very well designed.

Great Bag

Very well designed backpack that is light enough for a day hike.

Great backpack for the Nikon Zs

I have many camera bags, but i like this one as i can carry my laptop in it as well when travelling abroad and therefore can edit pictures and post on my instagram :D

Good size, can take laptop

Excellent

At closeout price this is a 4/5 bag. At MSRP is 3/5.(-) Kidney straps are not removable so padding is a little uncomfortable if you are not wearing the belt.\(-) The bag does not collapse down at all so empty or full you've got a pretty boxy bag on your back.(+) Used it on a work trip in place of usual laptop bag and was able to carry chunky 15" 8lb workstation laptop, ipad mini, DSLR with large diameter lens, also long telephoto lens, mouse , power supplies, battery brick, toiletries in quart ziplock, liter water bottle, plus incidentals. In the past I would use lots of padding to wrap the camera and lenses but divided compartment was perfect. Build quality is excellent. Wish it had tripod straps/clips/loops and wish kidnet belt was removable.

awesome deal at closeout price - fits a ton

Have been going back and forth (August 2018) with LowePro for some belt extenders. Put it this way, the waste belt will not fit this 73 year old guy any more. Was told, no problem ....what a line of bologna. Their customer services stinks and will never purchase anything from LowePro again or recommended then to anyone ever again. 

Happy New Year LowePro

Brooklyn-Camera 2014

Need belt extenders...

Great bag...Perfect size for my Canon 60D, three lenses, and one flash.

Great bag for my trips.

Lots of storage space and fits my mirrorless camera with lens attached.

Perfect bag

Great product from lowepro as always. The quality is good as always. The area for the camera is thick and strong and really helps especially for clumsy guys like me who drops his camera from time to time. Only gripe with this backpack is that there's no upper strap to hold down a tripod. But some velcro ties easily solves that. Overall great backpack.

Great backpack

Great camera bag. I took it to Disneyland this last week it worked out prefect. Plenty of room for all my gear plus lots room for all the other stuff you need at Disneyland.  Really comfortable when wearing all day too.

Great Camera Bag for the Price.

My primary camera bag was the LowePro ProTactic 450 AW. That's a fantastic backpack but it can be brutal on the back to the point I strated spending lesser time doing photography. Decided to buy the Fastpack 250 for regular use. And I couldn't be happier. It houses my Nikon D810 along with 3 primes (20mm, 35mm, 50mm) and the gigantic 80-200mm in the main camera section. There's ample space to house an external flash, my entire Haida 100mm NanoPro filter kit (I insist on storing each of my 4 filters in their individual tin cases and not the common fabric case), and small accessories such as a remote trigger, cleaning kits etc. I have no use for the larger ProTactic 450 anymore. 5 stars!

Save your back!

I consume and buy various types of photography equipment bags. The Lowepro Fastpack 250 was even better than I had imagined for the money. The quality build is high. What I admired most was the added flap to protect the equipment from accidentally falling out. I say this because on another cheaper (not Lowepro) bag, my camera fell out. This won't happen with the LF 250. Great value, too.

Lowepro Fastpack 250

WELL I’ve I’ve been hungry for a new packpack for my Canon 50D for a few years and bought this as a welcome relief to my overcrowded 14 year old one which also had zippers wearing out. This new backpack was discounted. The only thing I do not like( and I knew I would probably not be able to alter in the the way I wanted before my  purchase) was the arrangement of where the camera goes.

 The arrangement has the zipper and velcrow situated in such a way that if I unzip the bag to remove the camera itself-or any accessories - and “IF” either the bag Is sitting on a less than perfectly level surface —-(let’s pretend a flat topped boulder  that is 2 feet height or a three foot retaining wall above a sidewalk (that  I might set the bag on to get my camera out ) - -  because the ground is soaking wet from rain) I run the risk of the camera falling out and breaking on the ground or cement. I set my camera bag down often on a hike where I don’t want to get my camera or supplies wet on hiking in a national park or walking around a city. I did manage ( sort of) to reverse the whole arrangement of the dividers and velcrow 180 degrees  but because of the way the velcrow is pre- positioned in the bag I could not do this very well.

But do not let this discourage you from purchasing the bag. I think most Of the camera bag msnufacturets are very short sighted on this camera bag storage compartment arrangement . 

The bag seems durable and has a lot of room unless you carry one of those  very very long lenses - say 500 to 2000  MM or something. ADVICE: move the zipper to the other side of the bag so the camera is not at risk every time a photographer needs to open the camera section to remove something !!!!!!!!! 

I find the area at top of bag works well for my flash and I I don’t have to also risk losing my  430 flash every time I unzip the bag. I have multitudes more space for new things to include in my backpack in the future .

Great - but flip the camera  compartments zipper 180 degrees . I really wanted to rate this camera  backpack four and a half stars.

This is a great pack for carrying my 15 in. long by 9-1/2 in. wide laptop and my DSLR with two lens and accessories. I would buy it again.

Notebook Backpack - great pack

Really like this bag! I am able to have all 3 of my Canon Rebel cameras, with lenses attached, inside the bad with room for a few filters on the outside. Just what I needed.

Wonderful Upgrade

Lowepro never disappoints and this is a good overall backpack. The sales price was great.

Good backpack, great price.

Just received my backpack and it appears to be of quality construction as expected with plenty of space to carry my D7200 and the accessories I currently own. Ample space to carry my laptop. This will certainly come in handy as the only way in or out of my town year round is via air travel.

Quality construction and ample storage

I would recommend it

Backpack was too small to accommodate my Nikon with 70-200 2.8 and my 24 -70 2.8, filters, etc. It’s probably fine for smaller cameras and lenses. Otherwise good quality materials.

Bagged

It’s a nice bag and the proper size not huge

Nice bag

I like this bag very much. It was lighter than I had imagined when I opened the box. Very sturdy and quite well thought out...just have to carry files/papers in the computer compartment.

Very good bag

The quality / size / price of this item is hard to beat.  Great combination of these three factors.  It is easily the best thing you could get for this price.

Good travel size at a very affordable price

This is my second bag of this model.  I still use my 1st one, and it is still like new.  I bought the 1st one back in 2011 to take my gear along to Banff.  The backpack style was invaluable hauling my gear through airports and customs, and in/out of hotels.  It has done the same for a trip to NZ in 2015.  When I saw this one advertised I snapped it up as an eventual replacement, but #1 is still going strong!  I love that the bottom area has a side zipper for easy access to camera, but can fully unzip for access to lenses.  I carry 2 more lenses in bottom, plus some filters and cleaning supplies.  I carry a big flash up top plus other stuff.  Absolutely top notch!

Excellent Camera Bag!

I have to say, that I own a lot of bags up front. This bag has proved to be ideal for most gigs and air travel. It can hold full sized Dslr with 70-200mm 2.8 attached, and 4 other lenses/flash in the main compartment. In the top compartment, I can put a Dslr and a 16-35mm 2.8, or food, or my breathing machine, or whatever. The computer compartment is well padded and certainly holds my MBP easily. I just love this bag, esp for air travel.
