Lowepro Photo Hatchback 16L Camera Backpack - Daypack Style Backpack For DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras

I'm no a pro I only have one camera a Canon EOS m50 and one good lens, but this bag works great for me for travel, the camera case part of the bag is big enough for my camera and all the other gear I need for Vlogging, but still leaves me half the bag for a change of clothes, a rain jacket or such. Well made with lots of little extras. I like the bright orange colour as it is easy to see and is not another black bag like everyone else has. Lots of little extras like a small pocket to keep you SD cards in are great. The camera case part of the bag is Velcroed in so you can remove it when you want just a plain backback. I love this bag.

Es una mochila pequeña pero muy útil, cabe perfectamente mi t6i, el objetivo kit, un 55mm y un fish eye, grip, y en la parte de arriba cargadores kit de filtros y demás, muy contento con mi compra y solo tardó 3 días hábiles, se ve de muy buena calidad, espero siga así...Sin maltratos muy bien en el embalaje....

Fototaschen sind für mich ein Leidensweg! Irgendwas hatte ich bisher immer auszusetzen, zu klein, zu groß, zu hässlich, nicht praktisch, unbequem, zu teuer etc. pp.Nun steht ein Urlaub vor der Tür und ich brauchte einen Rucksack, der meine Systemkamera (Olympus OM-D E-M1) und diverse Objektive aufnehmen kann - und zwar so, dass die kleinen MFT-Festbrennweiten nicht hin und her rutschen, wie bei vielen DSLR-tauglichen Taschen. Und ich brauche zusätzlich genügend Stauraum für Essen, Trinken, Tralala. Die örtlichen Händler hatten genau null Modelle im Angebot, die meinen Vorstellungen auch nur nahe gekommen wären, deshalb habe ich nach langer Recherche im Netz die 16-Liter-Version des Lowepro Hatchback und den Mantona Elementspro30 bestellt.Der erste Eindruck:Okay, der Lowepro ist klein! Und er ist schlicht. Sieht dafür auch nicht aus, als wäre darin Kameraequipment im Wert von mehreren tausend Euro. Insbesondere das Kamerafach fällt wirklich klein aus, dafür war ich beim ersten Blick in das obere Zubehörfach doch erstaunt, dass das recht groß wirkt.Beim Mantona war es eher andersherum. Sieht sehr nach Trekking aus, aber irgendwie cool. Das Kamerafach ist hier deutlich größer und es gibt noch ein zusätzliches Laptopfach, sowie einen Hüftgurt mit Taschen, in die sogar mein Iphone 6plus gepasst hat und viele zusätzliche Befestigungsmöglichkeiten. Dafür ist das obere Zubehörfach eher etwas kleiner, als das vom Lowepro (gefühlt).Das erste Packen:Erstmal hab ich den Lowepro getestet. Ich hatte es wirklich nicht erwartet, aber es passt unglaublich viel rein! Im Kamerafach verschwindet meine OM-D E-M1 mit angesetztem 12-40mm Pro-Objektiv, 3 Festbrennweiten (17, 45 und 75), ein Tele (das "einfache" 40-150), ein Fisheye-Bodycap und der kleine Zubehörblitz. Neben das entnehmbare Fach konnte ich noch eine kleine Filtertasche stecken.Oben sind Kellnergeldbörse, Kalender, Reiseführer und Taschentücher locker verstaut, da wäre auch noch Platz für eine Jacke o.ä.In den Seitentaschen, die offen sind, und denen ich wirklich nicht viel zugetraut habe, hab ich rutschfest und sicher eine 1,5l-Wasserflasche verstaut gekriegt und auf der anderen Seite ein Gorillapod. Beides wackelt nicht und der Gorillapod fühlt sich an, als ob ich damit einen Kopfstand machen könnte.Gesamtgewicht: ~7 kgIm Mantona habe ich das alles natürlich auch unter bekommen, wobei die Objektive im Fotofach schon zu locker saßen, dafür wäre da noch Platz für Neuanschaffungen ;-) Gesamtgewicht hier: ~7,5kg, da der Rucksack per se schwerer ist.Das erste Tragen:Lowepro: angenehm überrascht. Der kleine Rucksack passt prima auf meinen schmalen Mädchen-Rücken, die gepolsterten Träger sind bequem, ein querverlaufender Gurt dazwischen sichert die Träger vorm Rutschen, einen einfachen, schmalen Hüftträger gibt es auch, ist aber völlig verzichtbar, da der Rucksack auch so bestens sitzt.Für mich war auch ein schneller Zugriff auf die Objektive wichtig. Das funktioniert durch den doppelten Reißverschluss (also in beide Richtungen) am Rücken einigermaßen gut.Mantona: unangenehm überrascht. Das ganze Gewicht zieht irgendwie nach hinten und fühlt sich damit mal eben locker doppelt so schwer an, wie im Lowepro! Da ich es wirklich nicht glauben konnte, habe ich alles mindestens 5 mal hin und her gepackt, die Einstellungen der Gurte und Träger verändert. Das Ergebnis blieb das Gleiche. Der Mantona war raus!Tipps und Tricks:Ich habe es sogar geschafft, im winzigen Lowepro zusätzlich (!) zu dem oben genannten Kram noch ein 13'' MacBook Pro unterzubringen. Das geht wenn man, den anklettbaren Boden des oberen Faches löst und das Notebook am Fotofach vorbei schiebt. Das ist für mich eine praktische Lösung für den Flug in den Urlaub, auf eine Fototour würde ich das so eher nicht mitnehmen.Außerdem fehlte mir noch eine Möglichkeit ein größeres Stativ unterzubringen. Ich hab dann einfach die Hüftgurte entfernt und in die Halterung zwei Gurte von einem anderen Rucksack eingefädelt. Geht total super, jetzt kann ich mein Stativ quer unter dem Rucksack tragen.Das erste Mal draußen:Bin heute mal 3km mit dem Lowepro durch strömenden Regen zur Arbeit gelaufen. Der Rucksack sitzt so bequem, man merkt ihn kaum. Bin wirklich begeistert! Die Regenhülle finde ich auch klasse, denn die ist unter dem Boden befestigt und sehr passgenau. Damit sie nicht oben rutscht, hat sie sogar noch Bänder mit Klettverschluss um sie an den Trägern zu befestigen. Damit hält sie super und es ist auch alles trocken geblieben.Fazit:Wenn jetzt noch die Qualität stimmt und der Rucksack sich nicht innerhalb kurzer Zeit in seine Bestandteile auflöst, dann ist der Lowepro für mich die "eierlegende Wollmilchsau" :-)Nachtrag 18.03.17: Ich bin immer noch begeistert! Was ich in diesen Rucksack schon alles reingestopft habe... 1,5l-Flaschen, Regenschirme und Stative in die Seitennetze - nicht ist ausgeleiert. Absolut top. Insgesamt sieht die Tasche noch aus wie am ersten Tag.Inzwischen habe ich sogar auf eine größere Kamera gewechselt (Nikon D750) und hatte schon befürchtet, dass die Suche nun wieder von vorne beginnt, aber bisher reicht der Lowepro 16 L auch dafür (incl. 2 kleineren Objektiven im Kamerafach... ich transportiere allerdings eher 3 kleinere - mittelgroße Objektive im Kameraabteil und nehme die Kamera separat am Sunsniper oder oben im Daypack).

As most photographers know, picking a camera bag is a highly personal undertaking, with several important considerations. What will I be carrying? How long/far will I be carrying it? Do I need my bag to hold other items aside from my photography gear? As a casual DSLR photographer who likes to take day trips, this bag has been a nearly perfect match for me, so I will do my best to break everything down for those who are considering purchasing one.What am I carrying? (This all fits, while still leaving the upper compartment free for whatever else I need to carry that day!)- Canon Rebel XTi body, with an attached battery grip.- EF-S 18-55 mm lens- EF 28-105 mm lens- EF 85 mm lens- 430EX flash, in cordura case- AA battery tray for battery grip- Canon battery charger- CF card case- Spare set of batteries- Various cables- iPad Air, in a Logitec keyboard caseFeatures I love:1.) The construction of this bag is good. The materials aren't exactly on par with what you might find in a (far more expensive) backpack intended for serious long-term outdoor use, but are still quite good! the outer shell fabric feels durable and substantially protective, and also seems to offer a decent amount of weather protection (even without the rain fly deployed). The padding on the back pad and straps is thick and comfortable, and is covered in a (fairly) breathable mesh that is comfortable to wear all day. The webbing is thin, but durable, and the buckles and hardware seem well constructed.2.) The photo gear portion of this bag is ingenious. Like most camera bags, there are thick padded dividers, that are attached by velcro and can easily be re-positioned to fit your needs, and your equipment. The compartment is also lined with a soft fabric that does not pose any risk of scratching your expensive gear. This compartment is also only accessible through the zippered panel on the inside (portion that is up against your body), preventing anyone from easily unzipping your bag and grabbing your camera while you are in a crowded place.Also, once this compartment is loaded with equipment, it can easily be removed from the backpack all together, and closes with a draw-string, allowing you to leave your camera equipment behind and use the entire backpack, without leaving your precious equipment unprotected. Once the camera "pod" is removed, the partition between the upper and lower portions of the backpack can be opened, allowing you to carry larger items.3.) The pockets are logically laid out, and are practical for the things that most people carry. The larger upper compartment provides enough room for a light jacket, books, or whatever you are carrying on your adventure, and has smaller pockets inside, for things like memory cards, filters, chargers, cables, a wallet, pens, a cellphone, etc. The front pocket has a nicely padded sleeve that fits a full-size iPad perfectly, while leaving room for magazines, or other large, document-shaped items. Both sides also have nice stretchy mesh pockets, that hold a water bottle or 20 oz. soda bottle perfectly.4.) The rain fly stores neatly in the bottom of the bag and would go completely unnoticed if you didn't know it was there. When the weather gets nasty, you just release the velcro, pull the fly over your bag, and you are have the peace of mind of knowing that your equipment is protected.Things I don't love:1.) There is nowhere to attach a tripod/monopod. I feel like this was a big oversight on the manufacturer's part. While a SMALL monopod could probably be stored in one of the water bottle pockets, my compact Manfrotto does not feel secure enough to carry on a regular basis.2.) No D-ring attachments. Something to attach a carabiner or strap to on the exterior of the bag would be nice.3.) The adjustable-height sternum strap is a great feature for equalizing the weight you are carrying around, but I have noticed that if you are moving around a LOT, the strap can creep up. Keep in mind that I am also a larger guy, and this may have more to do with the way the straps sit on my chest/shoulders, than with the design itself.All things considered, this bag does have its shortcomings, but for the price, I feel like this is an incredible value. Most bags with this size, and this many features are FAR more expensive. If you are looking for a day pack, but don't want to spent a small fortune, go ahead and give this one a try. I don't think you will regret it!

This bag is the perfect size to accommodate my NEX 6 , a 55-210mm lens and smaller accessories. I love the extra room at the top to throw in a windbreaker, wallet, keys..etc, and am especially pleased with the side pockets to accommodate a bottle of water on one side and a gorilla tripod on the other. I also like the fact that I can remove the whole camera compartment (in tact) and make it a small day pack. The product was in excellent condition and was delivered in advance of expecteded date of delivery!

E' la prima volta che vado su prodotti Lowepro. Da sempre usavo il marchio Tenba. Sinonimo di qualità e robustezza. Tenba non fa zaini di questo tipo... e allora mi sono deciso di prenderlo. A prima vista il prodotto si presenta solido e ben fatto. Ha tanti piccoli accorgimenti che si fanno notare durante l'uso. Tasche capienti e posizionate intelligentemente, alloggiamenti be definiti....ecc...molto buone le cuciture e le chiusure a zip. Molto buono il discoro di ergonomia e portabilità. Forse migliorabile la parte posteriore nel reparto di respirabilità ma... insomma dopo un giorno intero sotto il sole è inevitabile non sudare...Molto comodo e solido il reparto alloggiamento materiale fotografico. Anche se si appesantisce la parte superiore (io ho trasportato 4 bottiglie di acqua 2 panini, maglia e altro ancora il comparto fotografico non ne ha risentito. Il peso si distribuise bene e il tutto non comprime eccessivamente la reflex o altro materiale. Buone le spalliere e i lacci in generale. Non ho potuto per fortuna ancora testarlo sotto la pioggia... ma penso che se la caverà bene. In conclusione un ottimo zaino foto-escursione per tutto la giornata.Occhio a prendere la versione da 22 litri! Se si ha reflex grandi e FF è d'obbligo. Nel 22L ci stanno una Canon EOS 5D con zoom 24-105L e paraluce rovesciato, e altre due lenti fisse di piccole-medie dimensioni.In ultimo ottimo il discorso di staccare il comparto foto per ottenere il massimo dello spazio ove non si porti dietro materiale fotografico. Se dovessi lo ricomprerei volentieri. Bellissimo il colore arancio che si nota anche a distanza... specie per gli sbadati comem me che lasciano roba in giro :-)

It seems i've searched forever for the perfect bag.Have i found it? No, but after so many years of "collecting" bags, i've come to realize there is no one perfect bag anyway. ;)The Lowepro Hatchback (16L) is a very versatile bag that can be used to carry some limited camera equipment, along with personal items for a day hike, walking around town, on sundry excursions, etc.As a working photojournalist, i wouldn't use it on a regular basis to WORK out of though. For that matter, i rarely use any backpack-style bag to work photo assignments. That's why i have so many bags to begin with. Just like lenses, each serves a different purpose. Most bags i work out of are small-ish shoulder-style bags that are easy to open and access, such as Domke (my favorites are the F3x and the F803).At first, i was a bit skeptical of the back-access panel. But it's really no harder to access than the front, in fact, i do think it is slightly easier. The point is that you DO have to take it off your back though, just like any other backpack, to get inside it. Sling-bags are really not much better. None of them are really quick-draw. That's why when i am actually working, i hardly ever keep a camera inside ANY bag. They are just to hold the needed extra lenses, flash, batteries, etc. for the particular job.That said, when you are walking/hiking, for recreation/commuting, and only need your camera occasionally, this bag does work well.The thing i like the most about it is the SIZE.It is NOT too small for it's purpose.But if you want to carry every lens, camera body, and flash you own, plus the kitchen sink, then it won't work for you, and your search for the perfect bag will resume. (i have enough lenses, flashes, camera gear to put in 10 bags, but only take what i need for a given opportunity).After one day, i've only taken one hour-long walk through the woods with it so far. It's comfortable enough. It perfectly carries my slim Thermos bottle (Thermos Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Hydration Bottle, 18 Ounce--love this bottle) in either side mesh pocket, or my cell phone (inside a case) in the other. You could put a bottle on both sides, or a very small tripod.The straps seem a bit hard, but maybe they will soften some with some use. They are supportive and the weight is distributed well though. Havent used the waist or sternum straps so far. I discovered that the waist straps can actually be tucked out of the way inside the little bottom pocket with the rain cover. Nothing i hate more than having all those long straps dangling everywhere in the way all the time. The sternum straps can be adjusted height-wise on a built-in bar on the shoulder straps, and they come wound up and tied with an elastic band, which is the way i've kept them.The material is light but seems STRONG. The whole pack is pleasingly LIGHT without any gear, which is another of my main reasons for purchase; some bags are just so heavy and cumbersome to begin with...before you even load them up!I'm really glad it has a rain cover. I like the light-colored cover with only the logo on it. It is attached to the bottom of the bag with a little strap and goes inside its own little pocket on the very bottom of the bag. It covers the bag well, but i havent tried it in the rain yet so see how well it works. Undoubtably i will at some point though, and i wanted a bag with a rain cover.I do not especially like the Lowepro name stencil-ized down the side of the front. Not to knock the brand, i think Lowepro makes some geat products, i just don't think i should have to advertise for them. Would rather it was smaller/less obtrusive or just the logo. Plus, everyone then knows its a bag to hold expensive camera gear.The look of the bag is otherwise nice. I got the plainer charcoal-gray so it would go with about anything and not be so noticeable. The blue looks nice, but i just don't personally like really loud bright colors for camera bags, although i suppose if you are hiking around in the middle of the woods where a lot of hunters are, the Pepper orange-red bag might be handy!Inside the main photo section (which can be removed if you want), the bag will fit one body (without grip) with a smaller attached lens. I've fit my Nikon D300s OR D7000 body with a Tamron 60mm f/2 Macro or Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 (with hood in shooting position!)inside it, with a bit more room for a small prime such as a 50mm f/1.4 or Sigma 24mm f/1.8. Could even attach a 85mm f/1.4 (with hood reversed or off). With one body/lens combo, i can also fit my Fuji x10 inside this section and maybe a charger, extra battery or two. You can put a flash card or small battery in a elastic holder which is built-in to the flap.You're not going to ba able to fit a larger pro body with huge pro zoom lenses in here though. But you could fit 3-4 nice primes.The top section is quite roomy, is has two mesh pockets and a bigger zippered pocket, none padded. I can fit another body and smaller lens attached in the top pocket, or a 70-200 f/2.8 even. Keep in mind that this section is not particularly designed for photo gear, but it does work, and the padding around the other areas of the bag do provide some protection. I'll most likely use this section for various small personal items though, as intended. Phone, MP3 player, headphones, audio recorder, batteries, snacks, cap, etc. I will say that the zipper seems a bit hard to open on this top main compartment at times, wants to snag a bit as there is a built-in rain drip over the zipper. Its not a deal-breaker, but it doesnt open as smoothly as the other zippers for the tablet section or camera back section.Being the age we are in, i now have and carry a tablet with me at times, which was another of the primary reasons i wanted/needed a new bag.The front section of the bag is intended to hold a tablet, such as ipad. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (loaded with PhotoshopTouch), which even in a faux leather cover, fits perfectly. A bigger laptop would not fit however. There is a sleeve-pocket inside this zippered pocket, which is padded and holds the tablet perfectly. You could even put something else, such a small Kindle in this section. This works great for me, and provides easy access. Maybe its easy access for a thief as well, but i'd think you could feel the zipper opening and the device being pulled out of the sleeve, so i'm not so worried.(You could also surmise that the photo section would be impossible to steal from though). This section is a perfect fit for a tablet (10-11 inches max), is padded for protection, and the other sections serve their intended functions well too.Overall, i am very happy with this bag. It holds what i want it to, and nothing more. The 22L version would be too cumbersome for me, and force me to carry too much, uncomfortably.I'm sure some day i'll be looking for another bag to suit another need, but for now, this one does the job quite nicely!
