For the last 5 years, I have been hunting for a Travel Back pack that combined ‘camera bag’ with ‘day pack’ at one point I was thinking no way I can get the combination I am looking for. Myonly problem was that when the Kodak moment occurred, I was too busy taking off the pack and digging out the camera and hence, missing the shot.┬а┬аI tried almost 7 back backs till today and finally I got a one !!! Hope it will help other readers too.

If youтАЩre an outdoor or adventure photographer, one of the situations likely tangle with regularly is balancing the line between comfort and size when it comes to your backpacks. You usually need a bag to both safely transport your expensive gear as well as your climbing supplies. However, our spines have limits and the bag also needs to be supportive and lightweight.

The marriage between backpack and camera bag has become a reality. On longer trips, its more comfortable, safer and more secure to carry your SLR packed away. It’s just easier to move around. Lowepro assigned its designers the task of incorporating an exterior access pocket from the main cavity of the bag. The Photo Sport Pro 30L AW (new) is one of the end results in their series of new camera backpacks.

I am a canon user. I need the ┬а70-200mm f/2.8, to fit in.┬аI tried the day pack with a water bladder during my Arctic Trip, along with my canon DSLR in the hatch. I was able to spontaneously stop, reach around to open the zippers, and get my camera without much contortion. It gets even easier if you slip one arm out of the shoulder straps, but I didn’t find it necessary. Removing the partition was easy, but it might be a nice idea to have a fabric partition to hold the other items in place in the absence of the camera bag.

Trust me..you don’t regret it after using this.
