If you are a professional photographer, you will need a backpack that will protect your

expensive equipment from being scratched, dented, or destroyed. Sure, you could use a normal

backpack and go through an extra effort to put in soft material between each of your lenses

and cameras. However, it is much safer and easier to simply use a backpack specially built for

protecting these things.

One of the best camera backpacks is the Lowepro ProTactic 350 AW. Although this isn’t the

biggest and best backpack produced by Lowepro, some photographers only need to �t 6 lenses

in a 13” backpack, making this their top option. Here are some key things to know about this

product.

Dividers for protecting up to 6 lenses

Unless you want to use a backpack with one

or two large open spaces, you will enjoy

having dividers which are padded.

These dividers are capable of separating your

lenses from each other. Additionally, you can

attach two cameras onto two of the lenses

and store them safely and securely.

Each of these dividers is safely secured with

Velcro and are adjustable so that you can pick

and choose how you want each section set up.

This is great for people who have lenses that

are of multiple sizes and also want to

customize where they store their camera.

Since you only have 6 sections, it is best that

you leave two cameras connected to their

lenses to best use the provided space.

Safe in all weather conditions

Nothing is scarier to a person with a backpack

full of camera parts and a laptop than rain or

snow.

Thankfully, in these sorts of circumstances,

you won’t have to worry too much. For

starters, the backpack is designed with a

nylon material which can be resistant to

water.

However, the nylon material isn’t the main

reason that this backpack is safe for all

weather conditions.

One feature which is especially nice about this

backpack is that it comes equipped with a

cover that can add extra protection to your

backpack if the weather ever starts to go

south.

Great support and ventilation

It’s no secret that cameras and electronics can add up some serious pounds to a backpack. If

you purchase a good camera backpack, this problem will be alleviated. In this model, there are

padded straps, ventilation with holes for the back, and extra straps to ensure that your straps

stay on your shoulders.

The security straps that stretch across horizontally serve two purposes. Firstly, they allow you

to shift your weight around while you are carrying the backpack around so that you use

different muscles while hauling around your equipment. Secondly, it makes the pack harder for

thieves to snatch if they approach you and try to steal your backpack.

However, in any case, the main feature of the straps and ventilation is that they are great at

helping you carry the weight. They also come equipped with two hip pockets for storing items

that need to be grabbed on the go.

Interior and exterior pockets

Along with the main interior compartment which is used for housing your camera parts and

lenses, there are also plenty of pockets that can be opened externally without showing what is

inside the backpack. With two pockets on each side of the backpack and two hip pockets

located on the backpack’s straps, there is a total of 6 exterior pockets that service to provide

plenty of extra storage space for things like your wallet, keys, and so on.

Included accessories

If the extra pocket space is not enough, you will still have plenty of extra space for carrying

things like a tripod and water bottle. After all, both of these things are necessary for the life of a

professional photographer. If you need a little bit more pocket space or straps for holding extra

equipment, you can still safely consider this backpack.

Since this backpack also comes with a tripod cup, two cinch straps, a water bottle pouch, and an

accessory case, you have 5 extra accessories for adding some utility to your backpack.

Assuming that you only have 6 lenses, a 13” laptop and a tripod or two, this backpack shouldn’t

need any more accessories.

Lowepro ProTactic 350 AW Review

This backpack is great for any professional photographer who has equipment that �ts the

speci�cations. If you envision upgrading your setup to something bigger and more elaborate,

then you might consider looking at the Loweopro ProTactic 450 AW, which offers a little more

space.

However, if you want a small and slimmer design, and this size is perfect for you, then there is

no need to invest more money in a bigger backpack. Since many photographers won’t use more

space than what is provided here, this is one of the best camera backpacks for protecting your

investments. Here are some of the good things and bad things about this product that you

should be aware of.
