Designed for a full day of comfortable shooting—rain or shine—and
sized to carry a pro DSLR, several lenses and accessories.
Lowepro, creator of innovative carrying solutions for the imaging world,
announces the launch of Flipside 400 AW, a high-performance camera
backpack designed with a large capacity, premium security, all-day
comfort, plus protection from the elements.
Flipside 400 AW features a unique back-entry compartment that
provides easy access to gear when setting up—keeping the harness off the
ground and clean—plus extra security when on the move. With access to
gear placed in the rear of the backpack, roving hands are discouraged
from reaching into the bag. With the padded waistbelt secured, gear is
quickly reached by rotating the entire bag to the front, offering
hands-free use and providing a stable work platform while changing
batteries, memory cards or setting up for the next shot. To protect
expensive gear from the elements, the Flipside 400 AW includes Lowepro’s
patented, built-in All Weather Cover™.
“As consumers continue to add to their imaging portfolio, we understand
their desire for protective and comfortable carrying solutions for a
larger camera plus multiple accessories,” said Nicole Mummenhoff, Senior
Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Lowepro. “Flipside 400 AW gives
them an ideal option for all the gear they may need on an assignment,
for travel or during an all-day hike.”
Flipside 400 AW offers expanded capacity with room for a professional
DSLR with attached zoom lens and 4-6 additional lenses. Adjustable
dividers allow custom organization inside the main compartment. Other
features include: a mesh-covered, padded waistbelt, back pad and
contoured straps added comfort and wicking away moisture; a hideaway
tripod holder to secure a tripod or monopod to backpack; built-in memory
card pockets on inside panel; front storage panels and mesh pockets for
storing additional gear; attachment loops for SlipLock™ compatible
products; and silent zipper pulls.
This newest model follows the success of two smaller-sized companions
(Flipside 200 and 300), geared to the amateur who wants the convenience
and comfort of a rotating bag. The Flipside 400 AW is ideal for the
serious enthusiast or professional photographer who needs peace of mind
and a full set of premium features in a sturdy and comfortable camera
backpack.
