This is my first real camera bag and I absolutely love it! All my equipment easily fits in it, but if you are a (semi) pro and use more than one camera body or more than 2 lenses you do need a bigger one.

Don't get this if you plan on carrying more than 4 or 5 lenses and a single camera body.

Great bag for a kit of about 4 to 5 lenses (one lens attached to a single body) and a flash; Heres what I have in the bag, 40D with 30mm attached, 150mm vertical in the center column, and a wide angle 11-16 and 50mm along the left side of the 150 with a 430exII, battery charger and dust blower along...

Honestly; I should have bought the all black version; the red is not really red but more of a maroon color

The velcro liner was so limited inside that it gave little adjustment range. The waist strap is thin and does not give enough support to swing a loaded bag around on your waist. Wildly over-rated. it's simply ordinary.

Flipside 300 is a very tough looking and easy to use backpack for any DSLR camera kit. Actually I wanted one where I cold fit my Canon 600D, Canon 350D, Lenses Tamron 18-200, Tamron 75-300, Canon 18-55, Canon 70-300, Two battery chargers, four different filters (58 mm and 62 mm types), Camera guide,...

Kanonbra bag! Tripod Strap, however, could have been a little further up, then medium sized tripod like to lean a little backward in the current situation.

I recently reviewed Kata 3n1-33 which is my main travel pack for camera equipment. However, as I mentioned in that review, there are better choices if you need a backpack for hiking – for that I prefer the Lowepro Flipside 300.

I have used the original Flipside 300 for over five years and it has definitely spoiled me! I love that backpack but I needed a second one and was looking forward to the improvements of the 300 AW II. Unfortunately it was a disappointment so I returned it and bought another Flipside 300.

This bag is not worth for its money. Rain cover is missing. Shoulder straps are not well padded. Shouldn't expect this from an international brand like lowepro. My 1200rs laptop bag is better in quality. Still I'm not sure I've received the original bag or not.

The Flipside is far superior to the Lowepro Slingshot series, Tamrac Velocity series, and lumbar packs like the Moutainsmith Photo Tour. The most significant difference is the level of support provided. Ergonomically, the Flipside maintains symmetry throughout your body.

Brilliant design; Security; Ergonomics

Not the most comfortable pack; Price

The bag while being of the usual high quality is a good bag. However it is physically quite small to wear. I am a fairly big guy (6' 2" and 48" chest) when i put this on it was just too small and was not comfortable to wear.
