Lowepro’s original Flipside Backpack 400 AW was so groundbreaking back in 2012 that many reviewers, myself included, had no option but to give it full marks. In fact it worked so well as a photography backpack that it was my camera bag of choice when I went travelling around Asia back in 2016.
I've gotten my money’s worth out of my now decade-old Flipside as it has been so well used that it’s fallen into disrepair. However, in my search for an update, I was bitterly disappointed when I recently reviewed the latest Lowepro Flipside BP 400 AW Mark III, which was a completely different bag altogether and had removed many of the features that made it so useful for working pros.
