lowepro flipside 400 aw iii vs Think Tank Urban Access 13

Bought theLowepro DMC-Z accessory wallet as it had the ability to readily attach to the backpack's shoulder straps via their SlipLock system, and it worked. There's a hand grab handle on the top, quite useful if one is unloading it from a car, or traveling by air or train. The waist belt is highly adjustable, and all of the nylon plastic fastening hardware is of reasonably good quality, and in use weight seems to be distributed quite well. It's a comfortable and stable pack while in use

But I'm paying for my bags myself so it's quite expensive. Maybe the next bag I review or take a look at this I say review but I don't think this is a...

Waist straps and Chest straps- Pro When pulled towards the body the straps feel secure to you. I wouldn't see any problem jogging with this is for fitness events where I would need to get ahead of the participants to get the shot. The quality of the straps is good though, nice and thick, a bit of padding which should help prevent chaffing. Con - For broad and big people these straps may feel awkward

[ Applause ] this one is a belt, strap okay to stabilize your bag. I here, apparently, if you're wearing it, we cannot fold it back down, take a camer...

I think a pair of #10 YKKs are in order instead of wimpy small teeth zips with big pulls. My second gripe is with the reach of the zippers. I carry an 80-200 2.8 across the bottom of the pack (it allows me several lens/body choices so I can carry any lens on my D300 with MB-D10 grip (upsidedown from the usual pictures, by the way)

In fact, I found that the think tank 15 that I have of this - the retrospect is one of the most comfortable backpacks that I've used. It even has an a...

. rugged. I used it on a hike first time out, so it was nice having that extra protection for my stuff

You don't even realize that throw it on your back and you're hiking through san diego and your back's all itchy, because there's ants there's ants in ...

I think the measurement may not be as much to blame as is the rigidity of the material it is made compared to that of the Slingshot material. The material is very durable and high quality, but doesn't give much which leads me to believe that it may just need some time to break in. Lastly, my final concern is regarding the tripod holder. The tripod holder is too small to hold a professional tripod comfortably

They do also have a larger one the 30 liter so this is the smaller of those two so in size difference can come down to that a bit. What I am curious a...

The bag carries a lot but still feels compact on your back and is not bulky like the AW Rover that bangs every seat down an airplane aisle even when you've cinched up the waist belt and maneuver around to avoid banging into seats. This one is compact enough that it stays in the aisle even when wearing it on one shoulder. The waist belt and harness are very comfortable for not having cinch straps at the top and it pulls the bag to your back nice and tight when you have the chest strap on. Btw, they use a rail that the chest strap slides up and down for adjustment instead of gliding on the shoulder strap

I really really like this back and I'm going away on a trip very soon and this will probably be the bag that I take with me because it's just so funct...

The issue came when I went to zip the compartment back up, it didn't want to work. I had to lift the pack almost full vertical before the zippers would work. Not sure how Lowepro would get around this issue. The front of the pack has a storage compartment that could use some attention

It's important to know how easy it is to use the bag when you're out in the field. How do I access my gear so to demonstrate how I would do that I've ...
