S&F™ Modular Carrying SystemFreedom of movement. Fast access. Flexibility.

In 1998, Lowepro launched the first Street and Field™ system for professional photographers. It offered a revolutionary way to think about carrying equipment—unlike a conventional shoulder bag or backpack. Photographers configured a system to suit their shooting styles, adding as much or as little gear as needed. And Lowepro, being committed to the needs of the hardworking professional photographer, designed this system to be totally modular, flexible and comfortable.

Today, in the fast-paced, media-gathering environment, photographers require increased versatility and instant access to their gear. They need a fully integrated and modular carrying system for virtually any shooting and recording scenario. That’s what Lowepro’s new S&F™ Series is all about.

It begins with an attachment system—like a belt, vest or harness—and builds with a full range of compatible components (using Lowepro’s SlipLock™ attachment tabs and loops) that carry, protect and allow easy access to the exact gear needed. Purpose-built features, professional-grade materials and Lowepro’s legendary protection are inherent in each design.

S&F Series™ for the Sports Photographer

Tour de France. FIFA World Cup. Masters Golf Tournament. Royal Ascot. The world’s sporting events—big and small, grand and intimate—are your domain. You need to be nimble, but at-the-ready for each second that sends thrills to the crowd. Some editors want images right as they happen. Some deadlines give you time to review your work first. Whatever the situation, you need a fast and flexible modular carrying system to help you grab those amazing and record-breaking moments.

Think slim.The S&F™ Slim Lens Pouch AW keeps an extra lens right at hand when the moment calls for a different view. Its inventive construction flattens to minimize the profile when not in use—really handy when you want to be fast and nimble on your shoot. Classic Lowepro details like a built-in All Weather AW Cover™ and removable shoulder strap keep things flexible as weather and assignments change. And reinforced padding at critical mount and glass points helps protect your lens investment from bumps and abrasion.

Ultimate workflow.Use the S&F™ Laptop Utility Backpack 100 AW to carry your laptop and essentials on assignment. Or use this clever backpack “wired” as you transmit images on the go. It holds your laptop with cables to a wireless mobile uplink device and a card reader. A built-in suspension strap lifts your laptop from the bottom of the pack, enabling cables or cords to run around it. When you route the cables through the ports and attach a card reader to the shoulder strap, it allows images to transmit to your editors, colleagues or friends—in live time.

Gear up. Gear down. Lightweight. Comfortable. Flexible. The S&F™ Light Utility Belt is a true multi-tasker. You can set it up to suit any shoot. It’s constructed of segments that can slide independently around the main webbing for easy access and load adjustment. Wear it as a shoulder bag. Attach one, two, three or more (up to 10) compatible cases to keep an extra lens, flash, battery or mixer right at hand. Pair it with the S&F™ Technical Harness to add even more gear—this powerhouse combo really keeps things fast and light.

Increase your speed.Here’s a Lowepro breakthrough design you’ll quickly appreciate. A patent-pending function on the S&F™ Lens Exchange Case 200 AW lets you easily switch out a lens while you work. Pull down the handle to reveal dual compartments—one contains your second lens. Detach the lens from your camera body. Place it in the empty compartment. Grab the second lens. Attach to the body. Close the case. You’re ready to go. Plus this case includes an All Weather AW Cover™ to keep your gear protected as the weather changes.

Spring-loaded design.Our designers call it the “pouch that closes itself.” The spring-loaded flap construction on the S&F™ Quick Flex Pouch AW keeps it partially and securely closed while you work. Its sloped shape speeds access—allowing you to grab a flash, radio, battery or wireless remote on the go. And that same ergonomic profile rests comfortably against your body so you can concentrate on moving to the next vantage point. Carry the pouch on a core S&F™ belt, vest or harness— or on its own via the removable shoulder strap.

Heavy load? No problem.The S&F™ Deluxe Technical Belt is like a keystone—it’s a core product you can depend on. Connect it to the S&F™ Technical Vest (or harness) to create a hardworking pair that disperses a heavy equipment load. The belt features a raised backpad, providing extra support and comfort where you need it. The vest offers several adjustment points, allowing you to fine-tune your fit. Secure multiple compatible pouches, bags and cases to the SlipLock™ attachments to build your ideal kit. Add and subtract as your shoot demands. It’s really easy to customize each shoot with this thoughtfully constructed design.

S&F Series™ for the Event Photographer

You need all your camera bodies, lenses and accessories right at hand. In fact, you carry so much gear you could use a fulltime assistant. You change out lenses as each moment presents itself—the faster, the better. The same goes for a flash. You earn your living by capturing life’s grand, personal and emotional events—so having a modular carrying solution that organizes your shoot, comfortably supports a heavy load and serves your every need is ideal.

S&F Series™ for the Multimedia Photographer

Do you find the news or does it find you? Both. Most days, you need to go light, but be smart with the gear you carry. You might record sound to post a webcast. Some days the content you gather makes you a kind of “run-and-gun” documentarian. When your editor calls and tells you to change locations, you (and your kit) are ready. Being equipped with a modular carrying solution that adapts to your every move is the key to your success.

Shown above: S&F™ Technical Harness with S&F™ Light Utility Belt, S&F™ Slim Lens Pouch 75 AW & 55 AW, S&F™ Audio Utility Bag 100, S&F™ Laptop Utility Backpack 100 AW, S&F™ Lens Exchange Case 200 AW and S&F™ Transport Duffle Backpack

Go light. Move fast. Lightweight, supportive and flexible, the S&F™ Technical Harness helps to lessen the load when worn with the S&F™ Light Utility Belt (or the S&F™ Deluxe Technical Belt) so you can move quickly and nimbly when covering an event. As with the vest, your main connection point is the wide webbing strap at the back—then you can build your ideal kit from there. The harness comes with a detachable handle cup and restraint straps to transform your core system into a “backpack” set-up when paired with a Lowepro shoulder bag such as the Classified™ AW or Magnum™ AW.

Ready for the job.This roomy, yet lightweight backpack allows you to carry your complete, shoot-ready kit right from home, studio, ferry, bus, metro or cab to your work location without hassle. We designed the S&F™ Transport Duffle Backpack to be very discreet in appearance—its clean-lined shape belies the fact that you’re carrying your valuable and essential camera gear. The large and padded back panel offers full access to the backpack when opened, comfort and security when wearing, plus it doubles as a convenient kneeling or sitting pad if you’re working on damp ground.

Content gatherer.Capture sound while you shoot with the versatile S&F™ Audio Utility Bag 100. It’s a complete audio storage and carrying kit: flexible and easy to organize. Two modular bags zip together to create a single shoulder bag or detach for a variety of carrying options. The collapsible microphone bag unfolds to offer space for a shotgun mic. A headphone hook and built-in cable ports provide the extras you need to keep gear integrated. Two cable pouches (tucked into each modular bag) provide neat storage for accessories via patent-pending cable winders—simply remove the winders to access cables and speed your work.
