Great camera backpack with lots of storage. Great for big lenses mounted to DSLR body. I use it for my Fujifilm X-E1 mirrorless. Tripod holder works great for medium sized folding tripods. Hold secure without much movement. Quick access to camera from side like a sling bag. Only usefully for right handed shooters... Over all GREAT BAG.

Easy to travel with DSLR, 3-5 lenses, flash, 15" laptop and accesories. I've carried up to 22 pounds of equipment.

Even Austin Powers can appreciate this camera bag! It offers plenty of space to store your rig, lenses and other accessories. I currently have 3 Nikon DSLR bodies, 7 lenses, chargers, spare batteries, and SD cards being stored in this bag. Its light, easy to carry, and most of all, looks great when I'm out with my hipster friends trying capture that perfect shot that may look more like an ad for the current brand of hipster whiskey than just an average friday night out with the guys.
What truly makes this bag special is that you can custom build to suit the inside compartments. It also features a built in filter holder, tripod holder, and built in rain coat to keep your gear safe and dry.
Shoulder straps are comfortable and the side door makes capturing that essential shot a breeze, no more having to open up the whole bag and trifle through all your gear, pull out your camera only to find the shot is gone. Now unzip, and whip it right out!
With the addition of laptop pouch (easily fits most 15" laptops) and added storage for external hard drives and such, who need an office? The world is your office now! Shoot, edit, and send those files directly to your client all from one bag! That's essentially, money in the bag, baby!!

I really like this backpack. Although it appears large in size it is surprisingly lightweight, empty of course. The movable padded walls can be rearranged to fit what you need. Not including items like cable release, remote, and other small items I’m able to fit my Nikon D750 with a 70-200mm lens attached or detached along with a 28-300mm and 50mm lenses and an SB-700 flash pouch with its accessories. The side access is a great feature for setting up your camera and preferred lens because you can whip it out pretty quick without disturbing the rest of your camera cargo. I have not used the included rain cover yet but that was another feature for which I chose this backpack. I really like the placement of the tablet/laptop space. I carry my iPad or small laptop on occasion and it doesn’t take up any camera cargo space. It also has the straps to buckle on a tripod. I have a full size expandable tripod that I do sometimes strap on to the backpack. It’s a bit awkward but still works. Would probably work better with a more compact tripod. The only negative I can really say about this back pack is that it could have used a couple more zippered pockets or compartments to store less used accessories but then maybe I don’t need to carry around so much stuff! Great backpack! I’m glad to got this one.

I like that fact that the storage inside is configurable to what you need to carry on different photoshoots. The rain cover is a nice feature and is easily stowed away in a special pocket under the straps. I have not used the tripod holder, but it looks like it can hold a small to medium tripod easily, but I would assume it would feel unbalanced.

I thought this bag was going to be a perfect match for my needs. Not too large, discrete look, and enough space for my 3 primary lenses. I recently took this bag to Hawaii for a three week photography trip and learned that although a very nice bag for consumer equipment, this bag is not intended for pro gear. I brought my Canon 5D3, 7D2, 70-200 2.8, 24-70 2.8, and a 16-28 2.8. I configured the bag in the store to make sure both bodies would fit with the lenses on and have enough space for the third lens and some filters and such. It was snug but it fit my needs. I learned after a week of using this bag that the dividers in the bag a very flimsy and there are not enough hook and loop points. I had the bag configured so that the 7D2 with 70-200 attached could sit vertically. The dividers are flimsy, they sag badly, and provide very little support for the weight of pro gear. I had a hard time getting the dividers to stay in place as there were too few fastening points along the sides and back.
I will comment that the backpack straps are quite comfortable even with 20 lbs of gear and a tripod. The chest strap and waist strap come in handy on hikes. There is no ventilation along the back so be prepared to sweat if your hiking in a warm climate. I brought the bag through the rainforests and utilized the rain cover frequently. The bag/cover kept all my gear completely dry.
Although I do feel this bag is not robust enough for the professional photographer or pro-sumer. This bag has the right balance of size vs holding capacity. The average DSLR user would be quite satisfied with this bag.

I can fit my Cannon 5D Mark 3, 24-70, 70-200 and 16-35 in this bag. I can put my flash with its case in the top section. Cables, memory, batteries and charger all fit too. I think my tri pod will fit but I have not tried to attach yet.
The most impressive thing about this bag is the way it feels when it's on your back. With that full load it feels surprisingly light! Almost as if they did some math to find the ideal ergo build...

This bag is perfect for those occasions where you are trying to minimize what you are packing around yet still have the essentials. Regardless of the description provided by the manufacturer, I carry two nikon d810s one with 90-400 and one with 24-120 many accessories and flash. Slot available for laptop as well. Well padded to protect equipment.

I bought this camera pack thinking it would be practical to take along with me where ever I photographed, but instead it has been functioning well as place to keep my camera put away and safe. I think if one were on a hike for long distances this pack would fit the bill well, but for on the go photographing, I don't think its practical. It has a lot space which is huge plus. I can fit my Nikon D7200, Nikkor 18mm-140mm lens and Nikkor micro 40mm lens with no problem. In addition it could take on cleaning kit and much more, You can even place a small laptop or tablet computer in a dedicated pouch and there is definitely enough room for an iPad or Kindle. The inside of the pack is customizable where you rearrange Velcro walls to adjust so that you fit large lens inside, like that new one that Nikon made, 200mm to 500mm. One day perhaps I will get the opportunity to use it on a long hike but now it makes a great place to centralize all my gear when not using it.

This is a great bag especially if you have a lot of lenses however I only wish it was set up a bit different and wasn't so bulky for traveling. It does have easy access to the camera easily and can hold a laptop but wish the compartment didn't open up fully so easily.

I purchased the Lowepro Transit Backpack 350 AW Camera Backpack for a trip to Florida. I was able to pack my Canon 5D Mark III, 70-200mm, 17-40mm, 50mm, flash, charger, tripod, battery grip, extra memory cards, filters, camera strap, wires and more. Easy access to camera from side zipper and it has a built in rain cover. Love it!!!!

This bag will hold more than I can carry. it functions as well as a storage bag plus a transport bag. I use to carry a D7100 Nikon plus 80-400 zoom, 70-300 zoom, 50 mm and 105 lens and small bags with cords, and assorted cleaning gear, batteries etc. There is easy access through a side port and the straps adjust easily. The nylon zippers area little sticky, but otherwise this bag does everything I need.

Fits every thing I need and then some. The directions are vague about the different configurations it's able to do but with a little trail and error it's not hard to get all your stuff in there perfectly. The side pouch and the laptop compartment are what sets this apart from others. I would buy again.

Great bag with enough space for two mid-size dslr bodies, lenses, and accessories. Main selling points for me were the area on the top of the bag to hold extras and the quick access side zipper.

Bag fits my DLSR camera and extra lenses, my go pro and my HD camcorder . Plenty of pockets the only draw back is the side holder needs a better camera stick holder the one on it is just enough to hold but always checking it's staying on.

Good camera bag - solid frame to protect lens and camera body; able to reconfigure interior walls to customize to preferences. A little bulky but that's the nature of the beast when you want to protect your camera!
