Lowepro Adds Flipside 500 to Backpack Series

Lowepro is now offering the Flipside 500, a backpack built for sports, adventure and outdoor photographers who carry a large lens.

The Flipside 500 provides secure storage space for professional-sized camera gear, including a 500 mm lens and extra room for accessories and personal items. When attached around the hips, the backpack can be swung around to easily access the rear-entry compartment with smaller padded partitions dividing the inside to keep gear from colliding.

An outer zip-up compartment on the front provides space for a small tablet or other gadgets. Other assets include a built-in all weather cover and hideaway tripod mount system on the outside of the pack.  Attachment loops are also available for storage add-ons to increase carrying capacity.

The Flipside 500 AW retails for $249.99.
