Bags for DSLR

Hi guys! I noticed that backpack bags are quite common among those who brought their gears to the gathering in Melaka this week.

Can you guys tell me what model it is, price (location where you bought it) and your review on it? Thinking to get a backpack type of bag .

Mine is a lowepro computrekker AW. Cost me RM500++ from overseas. Shashinki is selling RM800++

The compartment can hold 2 large bodies with lens attached + 2 regular lenses + a speedlight + a 15" laptop + tripod

my one is RM350
Mini trekker AW
Can hold 2 bodies, 1 tele lens (70200) and 2 mid range lens

but i used it for 2 bodies, 3 flash gun and tripod only

Lowerpro a lot of models, see until blur. I see that Fastpack 250 is quite a popular model, RM390 for it. But then george's RM350 like more worth than the Fastpack 250, can hold more gears.

Pro Roller x-Series, upcoming new line from Lowerpro. Looks like the Think Tank Airport series to me.









Most interesting feature, "tripod" function!

Hanne, you need this man. Your current Think Tank won't fit your 7D soon .

We both buy together

book this kind of bag is it a bit big....?? is it difficult when go traveling? everytime you stop for a photo the bag will be left beside.. i think might be good opportunity for thief.. worry worry...

The bag can detach to become a backpack if I'm not mistaken. One of the pictures shows that. A bit like tortoise coming out from the shell .

This kinda bag more for people who travel and bring a lot of equipment along. Built tough to withstand the rough way luggage are being handled at airport I guess.

My current backpack is KATA DR-467

Find me a backpack that can

1. Fit my 15" notebook together with mouse and power adapters
2. Fit my DSLR with vertical grip mounted with sigma 70-200 F2.8
3. Fit my tamron 17-50mm F2.8
4. Fit my sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6
5. Fit my HVL-F58AM Flash
6. Fit my HVL-F42AM Flash as backup when F58AM overheats
7. Fit my small umbrella (laugh la.... thats what I bring all the time)
8. Hold either a tripod or monopod - big ones
9. Budget, less than RM500
10. And the most important thing, doesn't give me back pain when carrying all those
11. Doesn't look bulky like lowepro computrekker aw. I thought of getting this, but the bulkiness doesn't look inviting

Has to be backpack, to ease the load on my shoulders

Currently with my kata, I must not bring notebook and sigma 10-20mm in order to have no back pain

If need to bring notebook, then no 70-200mm

My main issue is back pain

I like the looks of lowepro fast pack 350, but it can't hold a tripod/monopod. I also like lowepro flipside, but can't hold notebook...

You might want to look at Crumpler's backpack. I tested on one of them, pretty comfortable I would say.

Im searching for lowepro shoulder hardness... anywhere in melaka can get? and did u guys have the price for it?

Refering to this? So far in Melaka I don't know any places selling Lowepro stuffs. Better get it online.

lowepro go find Ah Heng .... he can get it for u but how cheap i no comment

Don't think we can get good price from Melaka
