DSLR backpack suggestions?

SeanAngelo · May 13, 2015

So I'm going on holiday soon and I wanna carry my camera gear with me wherever I go. I'm looking for a backpack that can house 3 lenses, 1 camera body and other accessories and a tripod strap/holder is a must. I want it to be affordable but have good quality. Would be good if you could put other things in there such as sunglasses, phone, charger etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Sean.

I have a Lowepro bag, very high quality, not that expensive in my opinion.

The larger Lowepro Fastpacks or Flipsides should fit you well. I'm assuming 1 telephoto, 1 prime and a wide?

I really like lowepro ones but I can't decide which one to get if I do end up buying one. And yes, you're right

Personally I prefer Kata bags more then, lowepro,, but lowepro are a bit cheaper usually

Depending on where you are going for vacation, you may want a bag that DOES NOT look like a camera bag. If you already have a backpack, you could use something like this:

The main idea is that camera bags can notify thieves that you are carrying a bag of expensive goodies. I'm headed to Europe in the fall and will be using these wraps for my Nikon D610, Sigma 24mm 1.4 and Sigma 50mm 1.4.

That said I have a large Lowepro backpack, a Thinktank Retrospective, and a Billingham messenger bag to chose from when I'm just walking around town.
