I have a Lowepro Computrekker AW. Please give me some feedback for this product. Stronghand is on sale from December 15 and I want to get a sling bag. Could anyone suggest me what to get?

Guess would have to be the SlingShot 200AW... It's a favorite of a lot of people. :)

yes, it's a 30% off on all professional & computer bags starting monday.

No slingshot there... trust me. They only have some small Nova camera bags and a lens case here and there.

Bad news for Cezar... he wants a sling bag. Guess that's how popular the bag is... :Grin:

i think lowepro also has a new Slingshot 300 AW - read it in popphoto.

I saw a sling bag @ Henry's in hidalgo...:)

Stronghand never carried any of the slingshot line as I searched far and wide for mine before having to live with the higher prices at Infomax.

The only thing I got from stronghand was the belt and a lens case (old stock pa).

hi dave, when was the last time you're there sa stronghand? anybody been there lately? whats' their stocks like now?

i was there about 2 weeks ago. i got a sliplock pouch from them. they have a lot of bags although a lot of them are old stock. they don't display all of their stuff though. better to call and ask. normally, they bring out the stocks from a backroom somewhere.

as for their display. they display some backpacks, a dryzone, some beltpacks and a lot of pouches. the sliplock pouch i got wasn't even on display. i just called and they said they had it. i walked over and they brought the stock out from the backroom. still brand new although it had the aroma of napthalene balls.

Where do you get this in Metro Manila? Like diff size bags, lens cases, straps, etc.

Try Vet Specialists inside the Sampaguita Pictures compound along Ortigas street in San Juan

Hi all,

How about lowepro fastback 350 like this one,any one how much cost of this camera bag and where can i get this?

Thanks

Aperture, Infomax, Jerry Tieng...................... a lot!

I have the 250 version... Its a very nice bag

one more thing, vet specialists has a booth at the photo summit, they have stocks for the flipside 300 and inverse 200, nice bags :D the trade show is at the Vmall :)

Take a look at Kata bags available at Island Photo stores in the malls. I have a small Kata bag and I have a medium sized Lowepro bag and the quality of Kata is better.

Lowepro has a booth at the ongoing Photo Summit in VMall, check it out, went there yesterday and they have a lot of items :) btw, it will be there until Sunday

Thanks everyone. I'm not familiar with any of the places like Aperture, Infomaxx etc. I know Virra Mall.

What is nearest Alabang?

Dennis, you could go to Park Square, Makati, they sell lowepro there. Infomaxx. :)

At Wells Photo (EDSA corner SLEX) I bought Slingshot AW200 yesterday

I think Lowepro bags in Infomaxx are overpriced. Find some other retailers.

I think Lowepro bags in Infomaxx are overpriced. Find some other retailers.

I will have to agree with John. Case in point: a Slingshot 200 was priced at 6k in infomaxx before, but the price at vet specialists was somewhere in the 4.5k range.

Try giving their store a call to see if the model you want is available. 7239029.:Grin:

Where is Vet Specialist located?

vet specialist is at sampaguita pictures compound in granada street QC.

tel 7239028 / 7239029



OT: nice seeing you at yoshi for lunch!

just received my Dryzone 200 -- it's biiig! is this airtight? airtight enough to be a d.i.y. drybox? :D

Thanks Ferdi! Nice seeing you too!

if you have friends living in sg or hk, i'd suggest that you get the bags there, it's cheaper than the market here. but if you're planning to get the lowepro stuff here in the country, vet specialists is the right place to go. definitely cheaper than infomaxx. they only accept cash payments for the items :)

hey FYI, I got my BN Lowerpro Sling 100AW for 440 HKD, obviously in Hongkong. :D

agree with this, i got a lowepro fastpack in singapore for SGD140

I was able to get a Lowepro Nova 170 AW last weekend for only SG$53.

I just bought a Lowepro Nova 2 AW, all weather shoulder bag. It's on sale at B&H at $29.95. Great bag for my Nikon D60 and all my photo gear!

At Wells Photo (EDSA corner SLEX) I bought Slingshot AW200 yesterday


Where exactly in edsa is WELLS PHOTO? EDSA cor SLEX if im not mistaken is magallanes area of the opposite side which is bangkal side. Can somebody confirm the exact location of the store?

i have to agree with all that's been said about hk and sg shops. unfortunately some of the items i've been looking for are out of stock in my choice shops in both countries, so i ended up getting a vertex 200AW from shuttermaster (aperture makati branch).

Does "Shuttermaster" and "WELLS PHOTO" offer better prices compared than Vet? I got a fastpack 250 last Photosummit from VET at Php 4.7k.

Cheers!

I want to buy Lowerpro Apex 140 AW since I only have 400Dwith kitlens&accessories and EF50 1.8. I think may extra room pa if ever I will buy external flash. I already checked Henry pixel pro at GreenHills, 2.4K daw.
Mga sir where do you think is the best store to acquire this bag? or any alternative for this kind of bag?
TIA

shutter master/aperture should have about the same price as vet. at least that's what i got when i called both

does anyone have the Lowepro CompuRover AW? how much is it in the shops you mention? Infomaxx have this but I think its too expensive to get it from them. any ideas or reviews on this bag?

last time i checked with aperture it was about PhP 8,950 best if call them to make sure

last time i checked with aperture it was about PhP 8,950 best if call them to make sure

nolan, where can I find Aperture and what is their contact number? if it sells for about 9k then its definitely very tempting coz at Infomaxx(parksquare) last time I checked it was 13k. thanks bro

Hi Bryan - Try 7328991 for Aperture Trading. Thanks!

i'm currently using a tamrac velovity 8x, but have lately considered selling it off because its been a pretty tight fit for my current gear.

if i store my 40D w/ battery grip, it's a tight squeeze. and that's with my 70-200 2.8 lens attached to it.

would a slingshot 200 provide me with even just a little more space, while still allowing me to bring along an external flash unit and at least another extra lens?

should be ok. why don't you send a message to erwin_cabbab. i think you know him from school. he has one and fits his canon with a 70-200 in it (don't know the configuration though). thing is he uses a 350D with grip.

i take it the slingshot 200 just won't do in my case, eh?

the flipside 300, though, does look interesting. my only concern is the awkward placement of the zipper to the main area - it looks like i need to have the belt loop around my waist for that.

guys, can you suggest a good rain cover for the fastpack 350? thanks in advance.

I like the design of the Flipside 300 especially if you go to places where someone could just open you bag and pickup your prime lens

here is a youtube review on the flipside 300

Can anybody help me decide to choose from Crumpler 5MDH or Lowepro Toploader 65aw? that will fits my Nikon D80 with Kitlens, battery grip and a Flashgun?

Well what are you looking for in the bag? They both will fit your gear? Do you want a fashion bag or a manly bag? :D

keep in mind also that the toploader 65AW won't stand upright on it's own if you put it down as against the crumpler.

Hi All,

I bought a Fastpack 250 last week at Vet Specialist for 4885 php. It is very easy to go there coming from greenhills.

Thanks to Manny and Herwin of Vet Specialist, they are very accommodating. They showed me the qualities of the different bags and how to properly use them. I even got some freebies :-)

If you want to know the prices of different Lowepro items, just give them a call at

Yup.. I like the flipside too.

It's only problem is it's not AW (all weather) so if it does begin to rain, don't expect it to hold up better than AW Lowepro products.

A Nikon D80 with Kitlens, battery grip and a Flashgun that will fit on the bag.. because I am considering Crumpler 5mdh, or a lowepro toploader. please help me decide.. :)

if you plan to get a toploader, get the toploader 75aw. you can fit the flash at the bottom portion of the bag. you can also attach the pouch of the speed light using a carabiner on the side and fasten it with the sliplock mechanism of the toploader. that's what i do now. i'm planning to get a slip lock pouch 60aw for my flash and attach it to my toploader 75aw.

I got my slingshot 200 AW for P3,300 in HK. I love it!

where exactly in hk can you get lowepro gear?

where exactly in hk can you get lowepro gear?

There are a lot of shops in Causeway Bay. It's in Windsor House, same building as Toys R Us. 10th floor, just walk around the floor, you ought to see some shops selling lowepro gears. But I find the best shop is the one that is in the opposite corner of the building (from the elevator).

Does the AW only hold better in the rain because of the "rain coat" hood it has or is because of the material used to make the bag?

try the inverse 200aw mark :)


Hi sir Spam,

How much is the Inverse 200AW these days?

Thanks so much!

try doing the test again… but this time with you wearing the bag in the shower :D you'd probably get a different result as your body will be shielding water from seeping into the back part of the bag :)

got myself an inverse 200aw from shuttermaster this afternoon...

background: got the bag so i can bring my camera along when i go for a ride on my motorcycle... kinda hoping the aw would keep my gear dry should i encounter rain during a ride...

test: decided to put the bag under the shower test with crumpled newspaper inside to simulate the aw's effectiveness in rain... basically me in my rain riding gear with the bag (with rain cover) on... 5 mins into the test i shut the shower and checked the bag

result: not good... the rain cover kept rain from getting into the bag from the top... sadly, the "back" of the bag is not covered by the rainguard... water runs down the back of the bag into the bottom of the rain cover... a pool of water formed inside the rain cover and eventually seeped into the bag from the bottom...

the newspaper was wet up to about a third of the way inside the main compartment... all other compartments were totally soaked... there was a lot of water retained inside the rain cover...

oh well... the search continues...

You're better off getting a Dryzone if you really want it waterproof. :)

Got a Stealth Reporter from VSI last friday. Must commend the staff (Manny, Herwin & Grace) for their excellent service and brand knowledge. Got a free cup of coffee as well:)

I just love my LowePro Micro Trekker 200. Got this a zillion years ago, 1999 I think, in Singapore, for the equivalent of about P3k at that time. It's been abused a lot of times, brought to the remotest places in Mindanao (to the tunnels of Diwalwal, a friend even brought this to the peak of Mt. Apo), and I'm still using it now. The zipper needs a little repair though. But 9 years!!!

And wonders of wonders, all these fit into this small backpack...

- 2 Canon EOS 350D bodies w/ battery grips
(one body has the 17-40 mounted, another body only)
- 70-200 f4L
- 17-40 f4L
- 24-70 f2.8L
- 550ex flash
- ST-E2
- filters, spare batteries
- 7" Asus Eee (in the outside front pocket)

Whoa! Just packing everything tonight for a long drive to Davao early tomorrow, then to North Cotabato.

anyone knows where i can get a pricelist of lowepro products (php) online? thanks!

hi dino, you can try this site.

Anybody here use the CompuRover? Is it big enough to hold a camera, grip + 70-200 attached + 24-105+10-22?

PJ, I dont think it can fit the 70-200(assuming this is a 2.8 right?) inside its camera compartment IF you place it vertically. you might have to reorganize the dividers or put it inside the top most compartment of the bag but . the rest of the gears you mentioned will fit in the camera compartment though. you can test it at infomaxx in park square.

hi! would these fit inside a lowepro slingshot 200AW?

450D with grip
50 1.4
18-55
10-22
24-105
100-400
580ex ii
all lenses with lens hoods

+ some accessories like filters, batteries, chargers, etc.


or does one need a 300AW for all of these? :)

Yeah, its the 2.8. I was thinking of pulling everything out and lying it horizontally. Do you know how much it costs now? Can you recommend a different back to fit my gear?

nope, they won't fit in a 200AW...

i had the 200AW before...

it only fit my
300D with 17-85 lens attached
75-300 IS
580EX
18-55
50mm
and a couple of accesories

the 100-400 alone would occupy too much space...

they might fit in the 300AW, but i wouldn't recommend it. the AW gets really heavy when you carry it... so it's not something i would recommend if your carrying a lot of gear, i'd stick with the fastpack... same style of opening, but better weight distribution...

that's what i heard too... go for a fastpack rather than a 300 slingshot. the 200 would suit well but i think it's kinda small. thanks!:)

where can i find a lowepro fastpack and how much is it? i would prefer the 250. small? again? :Grin:

actually, with the amount of gear your carrying, I think even the 250 would be small for you, coz i have the 250, fits my 40D with grip and 70-200 attached, and a couple 1-2 spare lenses(depends on the size) and my 580EX... may be you should check out the 350...

if your looking for a backpack that has a side opening that can fit your stuff, try kata, I posted the model code of my bag on the kata thread...

is the fastpack better than the flipside?
flipside seems to provide more safety/security..

Yeah, its the 2.8. I was thinking of pulling everything out and lying it horizontally. Do you know how much it costs now? Can you recommend a different back to fit my gear?

Thanks

last time I checked it was about 9k at Aperture, at Infomaxx it cost about 1k-2k more. its really a nice bag since you can still put your personal things in the upper compartment and a laptop at the back. however the bag can only fit amateur gears. for your setup I would suggest the lowepro vertex 200, about the same price as the Compurover or the Kata R 103:) good luck on your shopping!

the fastpack can fit fewer gear, but has space for a laptop and other accesories ike extra clothes on the top compartment...

whats good about it is that it opens on the side, so you don't need to take of the bag to get your gear... unlike the flipside, in which the opening is at the back, you have to set it down first before you can get your gear...

You can actually access your gear on the flipside by taking it off your back and turning the bag to your front. you are now facing the back side of the bag w/c has the opening. just use the waist harness to do this so you dont have to put the bag down, it hangs by your waist. clever concept

Hi Guys, Anyone using a lowepro bags out there? I was looking for a bag and found the inverse 100AW in Photoworld and suited my needs and gear. Any bad reps or good experience with them before I go buy one.

I dont have a Lowepro Bag, I use Kata BTW but Lowepro is what I wish I have:D These bags are heavy duty and probably one of the best in the camera bag dept. Just get the inverse 100AW.:)

I had a lowepro Nova 3 and a Nova 5. Great bags for shooting :D Go for it man

I am using now slingshot 100AW lowepro, i am not sure wether they are the same?

And my bag is really good, handy & you can definitely feel that your camera is safe,:)

Anyway how much is this there?

I use the Toploader 65AW and 75AW and a couple of lens cases. I've had them for over two years now... very, very sturdy and so easy to clean.

I have to agree, i use an offtrail two and have a slingshot 200. The offtrail gets the most use, from beach to out of the country it has never failed me. :)

But i'd suggest getting a bag that not only suits your needs now but something that'll suit your needs a few months from now. Its easier to grow in to a bag than growing out of one as the latter is more expensive.

I'm hoping to get a lowepro dryzone sometime in the future :)

I'm a Kata bag loyalist but when I tried on a Lowepro Flipside 300, that was it. I went home with another camera bag! :D

Hi Jayson, I've been using lowepro bags since I started with digital cameras. I already have in my possession Lowepro Nova 4 AW, Computrekker Plus AW, Fastpack 350. I forgot the one I gave to my son, I even bought a Lowepro bag for my wife's laptop. She finds it tough and very comfortable to work with, same with me.

Wow.. so this means I should go with my instincts and get the I needed. The guy at Photoworld almost got me to buy (if only I bought enough $$$). He was good at product knowledge and knows the advantages of the bag. Even did a demo on how to use the bag itself.

Now I really want one. Thanks for the advises guys. Really helpful. :)

I am using now slingshot 100AW lowepro, i am not sure wether they are the same?

And my bag is really good, handy & you can definitely feel that your camera is safe,:)

Anyway how much is this there?


Gab, The inverse 100AW are beltpacks that could also be carried as a shoulder. Which is nice if dont want a bag lugging on your waist.

The inverse 100AW is about P2500 - P3000. While the inverse 200AW is about P3500.

I bought one this afternoon. I was looking for off trail or toploader but they have no stocks. This bag will be great, imho. no hassle of stopping by just to get your gear from a backpack. this will also enable you to bring another backpack for clothes or whatever. great for backpacking. :)

*I mean the Inverse 200 AW (can't edit my post. internet's slow, i think)

I Got a slingshot 100,,very comfortable walk around bag..Never used my centon anymore..:Grin:

lowepro's are really good..i sold my kata dr 467 and got a fastpack 250..they're almost the same but the quick access feature is really usable and helpful for me

Any lowepro nova 200 AW users out there? Feedback will be appreciated :)

Lowepro Fastpack 250 for me, highly recomended for its ergonomics and built design to handle my gear and laptop!!!

that's the thing i like about fastpack250.. you don't have to turn your entire bag just to get your cam unlike the DR-467.

but the killer for me? IMHO, it's the shoulder strap.. quite uncomfortable with it.

I bought a lowepro 120AW, it looks tough and it even have a rain cover. It looks cool acctually, I got it for about 1,840 Php I think.

will a lowepro fast pack 250 fit the ff:

1000d body with BG, and 70-200 f4L attached (lenshood reversed), and a tripod collar mount.
kit lens 18-55mm with lens hood (reversed)
50mm f1.8 II with lens hood (reversed)
15" laptop
cleaning kit, some data cables, and some personal stuff.

or should i go for the larger (more expensive) fastpack 350?

TIA :D

thanks, maybe ill go for the fastpack 250. unfortunately my source is out of stock of those, so i still have to wait a week....but they have in stock the fastpack 350, which is around 1k more expensive....so i think ill wait for the 250.

im also considering a tamrac expedition 4x or 5x hehe. but thats for another thread. :D

does anyone know how much is the slingshot 100 AW at Shutter Master in Pasong Tamo ext.? it's the nearest shop i know that sells Lowepro merchandise. I tried looking for their site or multiply but i can't seem to find it.

last time i went there, which was June last year I think, it was P3,500.

got my lowepro earlier at well's photo.

i got myself a flipside 300. got it for 5K. (called up infomaxx and they gave me a price of 9k for it waaaa)

im looking forward in using this bag :D

Hi Rey, may i ask where well's photo is (and may i ask for the contact details as well)? i'm also looking into gettin a lowepro (fastpack 250) and at infomaxx it's at P6K.

TIA :)

fastpack 250 at wells photo is only 3.5k more or less. their number is 8338666. if you get a busy or unavailable tone when you dial their number, just try again as they are having some problems with their landline.

its in evangelista under the magallanes bridge. i don't know the exact location name (street name, building #), just call them up and ask for directions.

HTH :D

Thanks again!

thats great :D

the building is blue in color, you'll see the big sign "wells photo" and the lowepro logo as well.

:D

how about for Slingshot 100 AW, does anyone happen to know how much it costs nowadays? Thanks in advance. Does Wells Photo has a website?

I got interested in this fastpack 250, but I just noticed it has no AW.

guys if you were to choose between a fastpack 200 or an inverse 200 to complement a bag line up of a fastpack 250 and flipside 300 which would you choose? =P

thats great :D

I believe Jhed is referring to Shuttermaster. On Pasong Tamo Ext, just go straight after Waltermart Makati and you'll see it after a couple of blocks.

I suggest you call the shop first to check if they have stocks of the particular lowepro item that you want. :)

hi guys where can i buy lowepro bags?


The main distributor of Lowepro Bags is VET Specialist and is located in San Juan. They are open on weekdays but are closed on weekends. In case you're planning to buy on a weekend, They said you can buy from the camera shops in Hidalgo, Banawe, and in Greenhills as these shops order from them directly and maintains the prices quoted by VET Specialist.

I suggest you call first the camera store where you will buy so that they can order in advance for you.

Hope this helps! :)

Yup. JT only sells Tamrac bags. :D

Wells Photo in Magallanes also sells Lowepro. The shot is located at Edsa corner SLEX on the Pasay bound lane.

I think the Slingshot AW 100 would be adequate for a starter bag. They're available at Market Market.

If you're not the sling bag type, you might go for the Fastpack or the Flipside.

Just make sure you get enough space for your kit, the charger and an extra shirt (you will need this eventually) :) plus space left over for the usual extras, memory card, filters (camera, not yosi).

HTH :)

you can use EX 180, you can put your d40 and an extra lens later.

ok got it..thank you boss elmer and ma'am bambi..

hi sirs, just want to ask how much budget should we shell out for our bags?

That really depends on what you want out of your bag, and what brand you plan to purchase. For example, if you only need to carry your DSLR a small bag would probably cost you no more than P1500, if you need more space for 2-3 lens, there are some around the P3000 range, some even more.

I myself chose ease of use and the fact that I can fit everything I need in my bag. At first I was looking at the Lowepro 200AW but I didn't want to use a slingbag, so I chose to get a different one, a backpack type, and although it cost 4500, I'm very happy with it.

ok got it chief..this are the things i plan to put incase i'll be buying..d40,lens hood,charger,filters,tripod,and a free space for my stuff..im thinking of a backpack..thanks again!:Grin:

haha..actually im planning to buy a lowerpro bag what would you advice a beginner here?i have a d40..thanks! :Grin:

if you plan on getting more stuff, it's better if you have a bigger bag to begin with, so that you don't end up buying a new bag every time you have new gear since it won't fit in your present bag... this happened to me lots of times, if memory serves, i think i've already had 6 cam bags because of this... hahahaha.... try the fastpack... great bag...

hi peeps, i need suggestion, what kind of bag can you suggesst.... my gear is nikon d 80, 55-200 VR, 50mm f1.8, 18-135mm, gorillapod, extra batt, mac book, the chargers of laptop and the camera .... i prefer back pack.... and once i sell the 18-135 i plan to get the tamron 17-50mm or tamron 11-16mm .... thanks

i agree fastpack 250 will fit the bill but it will be really heavy...that's why i converted to having separate bags for my gears and laptop:D

do they offer warranty? competitive prices?

Hi Bryan, all the bags are original (as far as I can tell) and come with the Lowepro Limited Lifetime Warranty.

For details you can ask for Marie on 833-8666 or 833-5874, FAX 833-4882

Edit 120+: 1,450
Slingbag AW200: 4,500
Slingbag AW100: 3,750

Those are the prices I know for sure because I wrote them down.

What I'm actually looking at is the FastPack 250 which I think may be at 5,000up, didn't look, out of my budget na kasi :D

got it in broadway... but you can also get it in the lowepro store in windsor house in causeway bay, there's also another store that sells camera gear there, in the 8th floor if I remember correctly, lowepro is in the 10th floor, the 8th floor shop sells lowepro and kata bags...... you can more or less haggle with the prices there, and tell them your paying in cash... some of the stores have a tendency to put really high prices on the tags, like a kata bag I got, the tag in the store says 1700, I got it for 1k...

Any lowepro slingshot users here? Do you know if a 70-200mm lens will be able to fit in a 100/200 model?

Any lowepro slingshot users here? Do you know if a 70-200mm lens will be able to fit in a 100/200 model?

Used to have the 200. Tight fit if the 70-200 is mounted on the body (D300). Tight enough that I'd rather not use it like that for fear of straining the mount. If you just carry the body with a small lens attached and the 70-200 in one of the compartments it's no problem for the slingshot 200. You can still fit in an SB-600, extra batts and etc...

You might want to try the Lowepro Classified and ThinkTank Urban Disguise series. I find them easier to use than the sling style bags.

How is the durability of these bags? Particularly the fastpack 250, does the material and / or the stitching tear under heavy use? Like for example bringing a 2.6kg laptop with mouse and power cables with a 40D with batt grip, 70-200 2.8L and flash?

Thanks!

I've been using my lowepro Nova 5 AW since 2006. Still my main shoulder bag. I also have my computrekker aw as a travel bag, I had this since mid last year. Also had the lowepro slingshot 200aw and 100aw. My wife now uses the flipside 300.

The bags are very reliable. On trips abroad my computrekker usually has around 10kg of gear stored inside. It distributes the weight well.

Recently I also acquired a Crumpler 6mdh, but I still prefer my lowepro bags for overall ruggedness and durability. Price is reasonable as well. If you want a better bag I suggest you look at the Thinktanks :)

Thank you sir! I like Think Tank, but it's really just waaay out of my price range. It's almost double the price of lowepro, and I already consider lowepro to be expensive.

So there are no tears on the seams or stitching sir, even with 10kg of gear? Thanks!

Just got mine, will be using it a lot next week, but looks durable enough. Suggest you take a look at both the flipside and the kata r103/r104 bags as well, I am now thinking these may have been better options :D. The FP250 is a bit tight for my camera gear, but feels very bulky. May change my mind about it next week though.

Sir, the R series is overbudget for me. If I had the dough, I would just buy the Crumpler Wicky and Cox, since they're both in the same price range.

I was initially planning to get the DR467 instead, but Island Photo Megamall had no stock of the black model, and Infomaxx was selling it at 8k. LOL.

Hi Guys. Anybody here with experience with the CompuDaypack? Thanks!

I like the Lowerpro Classified 200 but it's too expensive. :(

Will a 70-200mm Sigma lens be able to fit into a Lowepro slingshot 100/200?

Will a 70-200mm Sigma lens be able to fit into a Lowepro slingshot 100/200?


nope, I had a hard time fitting a 70-300 IS before, so I doubt it'll fit a 70-200

I couldn't help it and took the plunge, got myself a Classified 140. Expensive.

thinktank streetwalker series are pretty good than the flipside series.

Very satisfied with my Lowepro Fastpack 200. With its upper compartment used to stow clothing, I've been able to travel light and go to 3-day trips with nothing but that bag plus a tripod w/ case. Am planning to get an Inverse 100 for one-day trips...

i used to have an all-tamrac bag line-up, but when i bought my officemate's lowepro belt system, followed by a flipside 300, i found that a shift to lowepro was necessary for me.

this is why i'm currently in the market for a suitable shoulderbag model, one i can easily take around with me for usual walk-arounds.

items that need to fit in it are:
40D + 24-70 lens & folded lens hood
speedlite flash + stofen
spare batteries & memory cards

i'll really appreciate your suggestions. thanks!:Grin:

mark try the lowepro classified series...although it's pricey, it's a good walk around bag for me...or if you could try the tenba bags from digital walker...or a think tank speed demon at least ...it's a beltbag that can double as a shoulderbag....i can let u try the think tank or the lowepro classified if you want... just let me know .. text me if u still have my number hehehe :Grin:

right now, since all my other gear are lowepro, i'd rather stay with the same brand.

i checked out the lowepro site, specifically the classified series you pointed out - it looks like it's built not just for a camera but also an accompanying laptop computer.

i'm curious as to why you didn't bring up either the nova or rezo shoulder bag models, or even the stealth reporter.

hey mark..the lowepro classified 160 can't fit a laptop with your camera gears hehehe...but i think it can fit your 40d with 24-70 plus a flash and an additional lens and some small stuff... the reason why i suggested it is because it's the only lowepro shoulder type bag i've tried hehehe:D

this might help other people who are on the fence ...

my review of the Lowepro Toploader Pro 75

http://mkcinternational.com/miketest/lowepro_toploaderpro75.html (http://mkcinternational.com/miketest/lowepro_toploaderpro75.html)

I'm considering getting a lowepro flipside 200 and fastpack 200. Does both model makes your back sweat easily?

inverse 100 w is very comfortable for me, im a newbie but for me its cool and it fits me ... :)

I'm considering getting a lowepro flipside 200 and fastpack 200. Does both model makes your back sweat easily?

I use the FP 200, it doesn't make the back sweat that much since there are linings for ventilation the problem is on the straps, you will be sweating on that part. :Grin:

THanks CID for the input. :D

The one con I don't like about Lowepro bags is that you can only position the dividers at specified areas. As compared to say ThinkTank or Crumpler photo bags, which lets you place the dividers in however and wherever you would want to place them.

And my Flipside 300 does make my back sweat a bit as compared to the other photo backpacks I've used.

Will D40 + 18-55mm attach or 55-200m attach + 18-55mm or 55-200mm + nissin di622, + batteries + flash diffuser fit the camera compartment of FASTPACK 100 or flipside 200?

Check this one out. I'll buy one as soon as I find one.

It's 3,750 here. :)

also looking for this one, but the stores I've gone to don't have the black one.

Just got my new Fastpack 350 and i'm lovin it, very cheap (SR 250) around 3,100 :D

lowepro slingshot 100aw user here... so far, it doesn't fit all of my gear. i'll be upgrading to the sling 200aw soon.

I use lowepro flip 400.

lowepro slingshot 200AW user here... got it from tin cheung camera in hongkong for P2,800... I wish I got the 300AW... :)

does anyone know how much the classified series are?

What is your favourite or currently using Lowepro bag?

I'll start this discussion...

Okay I use two Lowepro backpack. These are Lowepro Vertex 200 and Lowepro Pro Trekker 400AW.

FLIPSIDE 200, secure ,light weight and it fits my gear and my daily essential.

Planning to buy an inverse 200 soon to replace my 5MDH but my 5MDH is still with me
and no one wants to buy it hehehe.

I actually own two Lowepro Novo 2 AW. I bought one on sale while the other is a gift from my daughter. One is used as my regular bag, while the other is a spare.

The bag served me well. It is light-weight, gives ample protection to my D60 with kit lens, a 55-200 medium zoom, and an SB 400 flash; and the built-in hood protects it from rain.

Wow, are you collecting bags???

Of course you need bags for different occasion. I need the inverse 200 for quick access and two side pouch for drinks, the belt strap to transper the weight on you hip incase your should get tired. Good for dogs walk which one of my activities in life.I'm Still waiting for a 2nd hand inverse 200 cause i can't afford to buy a brand new one right now budget is tight and my fundings for the inverse will be coming from my old shoulder bag.

You are funny dude. You need different bags for different occasion. Why not use one bag that caters for all occasions?.

I think if you want all around camera bag, You better get a Lowepro Pro Trekker 400/600, because the top cover can act as a belt bag, where you could store filters. camera and other stuff; and the is a removable waist belt, that can be use as a beltpack as well. In addition it has a room for hydration.


Here is the link:

http://products.lowepro.com/product/Pro-Trekker-400-AW,2166,16.htm

I have and currently use a Flipside 300 when shooting alone. Safe and secure back entry to access the compartments. Fits my gripped body, 24-70, 70-200, 10-22 w/o hood, a flash plus a couple of accessories.

I used to think that an all around bag would be best. But over time I've found that I prefer to use one bag for transport where I carry the cameras, the lenses, the chargers, accessories, and laptop (it's not a lowepro though). And for actual shooting, I use a smaller bag with only the camera, lenses and accessories I will use for that occasion. I used to use a sling bag, but have since shifted to a belt bag (one of which is a lowepro inverse 100).

dryzone 100 and toploader 75aw with lc4 and lc1w... different bags for different purposes :)

Hehehe. THere are times you don't need to bring all of your gear, base on experience. Beside, Pro Trekker is to bulky,expensive for me and my setup is only minimum, 2 extra lens + flash.I don't also like the design it catches too much attention.

dryzone 100 and toploader 75aw with lc4 and lc1w... different bags for different purposes :)

Hey Spam how are you enjoying the Dryzone 100? I've been contemplating one for my beach trips and other dangerous activities :Dum:

Are the zippers as tough as they say?

I have two lowepros a slingshot 200 and an offtrail 2 (iirc)

The Offtrail would have to be my fave, small and versatile imho. (plus it keeps that "only what you need" mindset active)

Flipside 400 AW! lots of space =)

Here's an interesting read on camera bags:
http://www.bythom.com/bags.htm

Primus AW is my favourite haul it all bag. Extra space on top for carrying non photography stuffs (t-shirt, lunch, food, items bought at malls). The outside pocket holds my cap, sweat towel and emergency camera rain cover (Op Tech).

In my opinion you need atleast 2 kinds of bags. So both are my favorite .... the Lowepro Inverse 200aw and the Flipside 400 (check out my review here http://leslie13.multiply.com/reviews/item/1)

Hi all,

Ive read that Lowerpro bags are cheaper in S'pore....I asked a friend there for the Lowerpro Toploader Pro 75....its around 147 SGD daw...so roughly mga P4,800 tama po ba?

I asked Vet, Aperture, Henry's... its priced at 4,990.

So it seems na maliit lang difference tama po ba?

Or anyone knows a shop in Singapore that sells the bag at a cheaper price?

Thanks...

I'm another Lowepro user. Vertex 100 AW, Top Loader 75 AW and an Inverse 200 AW. Plus a few add on pouches. :-)

I have 2 Lowepros - Classified 160 AW and Flipside 400 AW. Between the Classified 160 and my Crumpler 7 Million, I prefer my Crumpler although the Classified is also nice. Flipside looks to fit my current needs. My first outing with it will be this week. I'll see how it goes in actual application.

I brought Lowepro Rezo 190 AW @Singapore...costs around 35 SGD (P1,155.00)

Sa SIMLIM Square bro you can haggle down the price pa basta sure buyer :)

Inverse 200

For travel and events

- 40D with BGE2N Grip and 24-70mm 2.8 attached
- 580 EXII
- Lenspen
- Lowepro Pixel pack
- Blackrapid RS2 or Optech USA Proloop strap
- 2 packs 4x AA
- And a lot of room for my phone, wallet and other personal stuff

i'm also in the market for a new lowepro bag. i already have the computrekker, but i need a smaller model to accommodate a similar load as to what you have.

i also considered the inverse but found it to be a bit too bulky for me, especially if i opt to use it as a shoulder bag vs as a belt bag (it does have that feature, right?).

may i ask how all the items you listed down managed to fit in the said bag, and how the fit was, whether it was too tight or just right?

and how come you didn't go for models like the nova aw or rezo? i like the latter because if the situation arises, i can still attach a separate lens case to it if needed. the nova, on the other hand, appears to have more storage space, plus it's a AW.

lowepro user here... bought yesterday...

Back from my tripand I can say I was very disappointed with the Flipside 400. Wish I brought my Crumpler :Angry:
