Latest Review Posted | Lowepro Flipside 400 I bought this bag for the security of the flip concept. It's a simple and clever idea that works well. Over the years, it has become my go-to bag when I want to bring a lot of gear to a place (like a photo assignment) and then put the bag down. For short stints I can carry a bunch of gear on my back comfortably and securely. I have a LowePro Stealth Reporter 400 as well, which holds as much stuff but putting a full bag on one shoulder provides better access but is less comfortable.
With the Flipside, I can haul the gear, get to my shooting sport and zip it open. For that, it's perfect. It is less perfect for more fluid shooting situations where a messenger bag is more accessible, or for long treks. The harness system is ok but begins to show its lack of adjustability on longer walks. |
