 p.1 #2 · Anyone use the Lowepro Flipside? | |
I have the Flipside 300 and it is a great bag. I can hold my D300 w/grip, Sigma 150-500, Sigma 17-70 or Nikon 18-70, Sigma 10-20, Nikon 50/1.8, Kenko 12mm Ext Tube, Sigma 1.4x TC in the main compartment. Inside of the internal removable storage compartment I keep my SB-600 Speedlight, extra batteries, and the D300 remote release cable, In the zippered external side compartment I keep extra CF cards and a lens cloth. There is a hidden tripod pocket on the bottom and quick release strap to hold a tripod up the center of the outside of the pack. Finally there is an elastic side pocket which can hold a bottle of water, a P&S or your wallet, keys and cell phone.
Having the extra inch on the depth and the 2-1/2 width versus the just the double space width of the 200 makes a big difference. If you need even more room there is a new Flipside 400AW ($190 list price) that has just come out. It has a beefier waist belt and the all weather cover hidden in it. It is too big for me as I also have a full size backpack and opted for the Flipside 300 because it is smaller and lighter than my large backpack. The Flipside is very comfortable as long as it is not too hot out and it stays securely in place if you use the chest and waist straps.
