Questions & Answers

Shopper : can't tell from the photos, does this bag have straps for attaching a tripod?
Shopper : Where is the laptop supposed to fit? In the padded interior or less protected exterior pocket?KEVIN L : It has its own padded case that can fit flat in the bag, on top of your gear. The top of the bag has decent padding also. Alternatively, you could configure the Velcro separators in the bag to fit a laptop on its side, but that might affect your camera/lens layout. In my bag, I have one FX camera with a fitted 35mm lens, two tele zooms, a 50mm and 20mm, a speedlight, light meter, three cases of filters, a box of batteries, a box of acccessories. That’s inside. In the external compartments, there are tools, pad and pens, flashlight, foldable reflector, ziplock bags and a rain poncho. My small tripod rides on top, strapped down. Needless to say, I only do all this when I’m traveling heavy. It’s an excellent bag.WILSON Q : Padded interior New laptop are thinners so I recommend to buy a padded cover for the laptop Then an oversize cover for double protectionMATTHEW C : There is a padded laptop case that is included (fits my Mac Book Pro 13" with extra room) and it sits inside on top of the cameras/lenses.

Excellent Camera Bag.

I bought this bag after reading several reviews and I'm glad I did. The construction is top notch and the padding on the should strap is nice and thick for comfort. It easily fits all my gear with room for more. Nikon D750 w/grip, 24-120 f4 lens, Tamron 70-200 f2.8 lens, Tamron 2X teleconverter, Flashpoint Li-Ion flash,and accessories. I highly recommend this camera bag!

Big-ish little-ish Bag

Exactly was I was looking for in a short excursion pack. Fits my D850 plus all 3 holy trinity lenses, macro lens, speedlight, extra batteries, memory cards, and then some. If you're looking for a small-ish bag that maximizes it's space and can be taken out in any weather, this is that bag.

"The Beast" Will Hold A Ton Of Stuff

I refer to this as "The Beast" Lowepro says it will fit into an aircraft over head bin -- it DOES: JUST. This is a HUGE bag and will hold a ton of stuff. In my case two bodies with 50-55mm mounted, another 5 lenses, a 2X Teleconverter, a flashmeter, a pocket flash, a speedlight, a point-'n'-shoot digital camera, a hand held bracket mount, flash cables, eBook reader, a ton of cleaning supplies and other can't-live-without support stuff, a "roll" of filters, two cases of 8 rechargeable batteries and chargers, PLUS a ton of film!. I am sure I am missing something in there as well. When I am not shooting "The Beast" serves as a perfect storage case for my two vintage Nikon F FTn, and Nikon F2S cameras, and all those built-like-a-tank nikkor manual lenses. Throw in some desiccant bags and zip it shut. I bought this off a gentleman who sold it almost never used because he said it was "Too BIG". I never thought I could ever fill it, but I did... it just took a while to do so. When fully loaded this bag weighs a TON, partly because GLASS weighs a ton. I was amazed how much just 4 lenses -- the largest being a 200 mm f/4.0 -- weigh. The great thing it has a great strap I walked through the Las Vegas airport and while the bag caused me to pause, the strap was quite comfortable on my shoulder. Without a doubt this was the best bag I have ever bought hands down!

Great bag!

Lots of room. Have Canon 100 mm macro lens with macro ring lite mounted on my Canon D70. Adjustable dividers securely hold three other lense. Also have Canon 550 Speedlite and various filters and cleaning supplies. Love it.

Great main compartment, but not enough room for accessories.

The Lowepro Magnum 650AW will probably hold more cameras and lenses than my older Lowepro Stealth Reporter 550 AW. But disappointingly it doesn't have as much space outside the main compartment for remotes, filters, cleaning equipment, flash benders, light meters etc.

Like a trunk!

As my gear list has increased over the years, my bag needs have increased. I was carrying two bags to some shoots just to make sure I had everything and that was a pain. I wanted ONE bag. I thought about getting the next size up but thought I'd give this one a try and I love it! As other reviews I read say, filled up, this bag is HEAVY. But it had to fit two bodies with lenses attached and this does it perfectly. Now that I've used it for a few weddings and portraits, here's what I've got in it: D750 with a 70-200 2.8 attached D750 with grip and a 24-70 attached 85 1.4 14-24 2.8 2 Godox AD200s 2 Godox flashes Batteries Memory Cards Remotes Filters Axe body spray Tripod plates Pens Black Rapid DoubleR strap All that weighs about 30 lbs!!! It's HEAVY for sure. But once I start shooting, the two cameras with lenses and flashes attached come out. If my second shooter has her wheeled bag, I slide my bag on hers and make her roll it LOL! Well worth it. I don't think I could carry the next size up fully loaded. Be nice if it had wheels!

Great bag. Lots of room and well padded. Comes with a decent amount of dividers so your equipment is well protected. The bottom of the bag is made of firm material and is flat so it sets up nicely.

Perfect for my D7000 body plus 3 lenses, flash, grip and all my accesories. Quality is superb all around as is always the case, no pun intended, with all Lowepro products. Love it!!!

Freakin' Huge, but awesome

I needed a bag that wasn't a backpack to carry two pro sized bodies, at least five lenses, a couple of flashes, batteries and all the other assorted stuff I need when shooting big events. This bag pretty much covers the space requirements though it is super heavy when loaded up. I like being able to sit it down and open the top and place gear in it or even on it when not being used. Definitely not something most backpacks are very good at (their tops don't stay open and gear doesn't sit on top of a pack very well). If you need a big bag that you don't need to pack around a job, this is the one for you.

Weather Cover

I've just received this. It looks solidly made and tons of room. I've had a Lowe Commercial for over 30 years so hope it is that durable. HAS ANYONE TRIED THE WEATHER COVER? As far as I can see it doesn't cover the back and where it comes out of its pocket won't then zip shut and looks like a rain trap. I'm thinking of just taking a big drawstring rubbish bin liner!

A nice big bag

I'm very happy with this bag, especially at this price point. A few years ago I had my gear in a Tamrac Ultra Pro 13. It wore out and I went to a large backpack for storage. I missed the shoulder strap and decided to try out the Magnum 650. I actually prefer it to the Tamrac as the bodies with attached lenses sit vertically and don't cover up items beneath. When it's filled it's heavy but it beats lugging several smaller bags or a big backpack. I don't use the laptop bag so can't comment on how convenient that is. The laptop bag is nice in and of itself, though, with the built in shade.

An old standard that has served me well!

This is my second Magnum 200AW. My first is still serviceable from the 1990s. For a single camera (Canon 5D Mark III with battery grip) a flash and three lenses it works very well. It also fits under an airline seat and serves well as a travel camera bag when you want to keep all of your equipment with you.

It was a hit for a birthday present

My wife had a Canon camera bag but with the addition of more lenses, filters, flash attachments, etc, it was overflowing. This one met all of the needs. The only problem now is I have to buy more "stuff" for her since the bag is not quite full:)

Bigger is Better!!

As some of the comments have said... This is a really large camera bag!! I don't plan to use the shoulder strap to carry a fully loaded bag for long distances but it is there in case. I"m able to fit the following into the main compartment. A D4/D700 with 24-70 and 70-200mm, 105mm,20mm,35mm,50mm,85mm,16-35mm,3-SB900. The external storage areas can be loaded with memory cards, filters, cleaners, etc. However, it can get heavy if fully loaded. But I usually set it securely on top of my rolling luggage. It is very durable and well made as expected from Lowepro.

Quality bag - not for Nikon 70-200 VR1

Another good quality Lowepro product. FYI - Lid does not zip with my Nikon Digital attached to a Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VR1. Camera + lens + filter + lenscap = 11-3/4". Bag inside height = 11". It is roomy enough to carry 4 lenses + all the goodies, just not with the long lens attached to the camera. I would recommend this to a friend without a long lens.
