LOWEPRO Whistler BP450 AWII Review

[@preciouscode98]

For the amount of thought they put in this bag and since it's a trekking backpack I'm astounded it doesn't include a water bottle pocket on the 'empty' side. Like how would you trek for a day or more without water?😅

[@bertiefigueres]

Yes, that is exactly it's biggest problem. I bought it through Amazon as an upgrade, as my kit no longer fit in my existing bag. The lack of side pockets, for water bottle and perhaps umbrella, is a really big flaw in this bag. I am seriously considering trading it in for a Lowepro Flipside 500 AW II which is both cheaper, and looks better designed, and has TWO side pockets. Both bags were about the same size when I compared them side by side in the camera shop the other day. I will take a hit if I change, but really, in hot weather you really need a side pocket for a water bottle for long urban or countryside walks. It is really stupid they didn't think of it. Other than that though, it is a fairly decent bag, as you would expect from Lowepro. It fits my kit, just, which includes a 70-200 f2.8 lens with D610 body, a 24-70 f2.8 with another D610 body, a 105 macro, 17-35 wide angle, a flash and a few small bits and pieces like a light meter, blower, and 1.4x teleconverter. Loaded up the bag is a bit heavy (9.2kg) but I discovered from other experience that if you carry a heavy bag around frequently enough, your body builds up the muscles, and then you stop feeling the weight. I have not yet tried flying with it. But apparently it should be aircraft friendly. I hope that means you can stick it under the seat in front. But they may mean that it is suitable for over head lockers. If anyone has one, will it fit under the seat in front? The one thing I would say, initially I was excited that I could carry my tripod attached. But after you load the bag up, you really, really don't want to add extra weight to it. So it's a good idea to be able tie you tripod to it, but in practice I don't do that. I just carry it in my hand as I have done for many, many years.

Thanks for doing the review. You’ve done an excellent job showing all the details of this backpack. Been browsing online for a couple of hours for backpack reviews and yours is one of the best! This seems like the backpack that I want. 😊

[@DanielDebenham]

Ah thanks for watching it.🙏 Glad it was useful to you 👍🤜

[@ill4573]

Thank you.

Excellent bag. I fit my gripped D850 with 500mm pf and hood attached (not backwards) easily, D500 gripped, and 300mm pf with room to spare for accessories. It’s a heavy bag but I’m a 5’1 female, and it’s still fine😂 I only wish they did a more substantial handle, the one they put on just seems like it will break someday.

Why orange? I guess it's nice for people who want to ski, but I just want to get a backpack like this for going out to photograph wildlife in a forest. Orange is a hell of a way to scare it off. They could at least have made 2 color options and I'd have bought it.

[@EmoEmu]

WHY, Lowepro??

[@DanielDebenham]

😂

[@jmilow]

I am not digging the orange on the backpack either. Oh well, at least you can remove the orange straps to make it more appealing.

@@jmilow Since then I discovered the Shimoda Explore v2, so this is less relevant for me now. Damn, the Shimoda is like a work of art for my back.

what a dumb thing to say .. have you never seen hunters with bright orange vests, lmao? you do realize most animals DONT SEE the orange spectrum as they are all colorblind. there is a reason why hunters use orange clothing VERY SUCCESSFULLY. the other reason its orange is because it is also a bright color that pops out when your in the woods FOR OTHER HUMANS. thus a hunter wont accidentally shoot your ass, or hold off and warn you youre walking into its line of sight. do a little research before you make a comment. LMFAO

Hi Great video, tons of info thank you. Would you know if this bag fits sony 200-600mm lens?

[@DanielDebenham]

The camera compartment is 40cm in length, so you'd need to know what lens you want to put in there (canon/Sony etc) and the camera depth to make sure the total is under 40cm. 👍

[@OMG-KMB]

@@DanielDebenham So like there's no way to kinda deform it to get a 42cm shark nano slider in? :D

[@motta_pg]

Excellent video! Did you consider the Pro Trekker 550 AW or go directly to the Whistler 450 AW? thanks

[@DanielDebenham]

Hey! Thanks 🙏👍👏🤜. Went directly to this one. It was the size, colour and had the functions i needed. 👍

[@skfirojali2429]

What airport luggage fitting?

[@DanielDebenham]

Not carry on... Its too big. Would be hold luggage unless your lucky.

[@user-id5io8tf6e]

Wow, very nice topic ، Keep up 😍😍👍🏻 ، Daniel You're amazing 🤩.

[@scenerytv2949]

[@DanielDebenham]

It'll fit that lens with about 9cm to spare in the camera compartment. Here's the link to the specs on the bag. www.lowepro.com/uk-en/whistler-backpack-450-aw-ii-lp37227-pww/
