Backpack for photographers

[JFG]

I purchased a Lowepro ProTactic BP 350 AW II and wanted to share it with all and specially those that are looking for a great backpack to carry your camera gear.   I looked for one that would carry my R6 Mark II, RF 24-105MM, RF 70-200MM and my Sigma 150-600mm C.  I found that I could fit all of the aforementioned gear and more in the Lowepro BP 350 AW II.  It fits snug enough that the gear doesn't shake and its well protected.   Lowepro also makes the BP 450 AW II which is a bit larger and will accommodate more gear.  I decided to go with the BP 350 AW II because I bring my camera equipment when I travel, and the BP 450 AW II may not meet some of the airlines in Europe carryon restrictions.  The dimensions of the BP 350 AW II are : 11.81x7.08×18.5 inches.  The 450 AW II : 14.7×8.66×20.47 inches.  Let me know what you think.   🙂

Hi Joe,

I purchased the same but a 450 because I needed the room for my 14 in laptop.  This is going with me to Alaska next month.  I think I'm okay with carry on.

Hi Rick, I did some more research on the Airline dimension requirements and the BP 450 AW II will be goood for most airlines.

Carry-on accepted by most airlines maximum size would be 56 x 36 x 23 cm (22 x 14 x 9 inches) (including all handles and wheels). The 450 AW II : 14.7 × 8.66 × 20.47 inches.

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 laptop that is 13" and the BP 350 AW II protects up to a 15" laptop.  I figured that if I got a 450 it would temp me to carry more stuff..  😆   Anyway,  they're both great backpacks..  You'll enjoy that 450 👍
