September 9, 2008: Lowepro has released a new camera backpack, the Flipside 400 AW, which offers expanded capacity.
Designed to accommodate a professional DSLR with attached zoom lens and 4-6 additional lenses, the Flipside 400 AW provides all-day comfort for wearers while protecting equipment from the elements. A special back-entry compartment allows easy access to gear when setting up and keeps the harness off the ground and clean. It also ensures extra security when the photographer is on the move. With access to gear placed in the rear of the backpack, roving hands are discouraged from reaching into the bag.

When the padded waist belt is secured, gear is quickly reached by rotating the entire bag to the front, offering hands-free use and providing a stable working platform for changing batteries, memory cards or setting up for the next shot. Lowepro’s patented, built-in All Weather Cover provides added protection against rain and dust.
Adjustable dividers enable users to customise the layout of the main compartment. Other features include a mesh-covered, padded waist belt, back pad and contoured straps; a hideaway tripod holder; 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.
The Flipside 400 AW’s internal measurements are 27 (W) x 15 (D) x 42.5 (H) centimetres, while its external dimensions measure 30.3 (W) x 25.3 (D) x 46 (H) centimetres. Available in black or pine green and black, the Flipside 400 AW is expected to retail for between $210 and $215. For more information about Lowepro or Lowepro products, visit www.lowepro.com.
