The Flipside 500 AW (RRP AUD$249) can accommodate a professional DSLR camera with grip and 500mm f/4 lens plus one or two additional bodies and up to four additional lenses. It also has space for a flash unit, compact tripod or monopod, three memory cards plus accessories and personal items. Providing superior protection, this backpack features a low-profile shape that conforms to the user’s body plus a fast-access design that allows the bag to be rotated to the front for easy access to the equipment. An All Weather (AW) Cover provides easily accessible protection against rain, snow, dust and sand.
