Pro performer
The Lowepro PhotoSport Pro came highly recommended in our round-up of the best camera backpacks out there and that’s because it survived a wet Welsh weekend. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Weighty beast
Weighing in at 3.2kg when empty, this isn’t the sort of lightweight trekking backpack that you might want to take on an expedition to the Arctic Circle. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Added protection
But the additional weight comes in the form of extra protection for camera equipment, your shoulders and hips. Plus, a separate, removable camera kit insert. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Several sizes
Available in S/M and M/L sizes, there’s a shoulder strap size to fit most body types, while the 70L bag is large enough to house everything you need. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Easy access
Access to the GearUp PRO XL camera insert is via the front or the back and users can set this up whichever way they please. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Versatile camera system
The insert itself is a dedicated accessory with its own strap system, allowing multiple carrying configurations. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Quick verdict
Although absolutely monstrous, this is a well thought-out camera bag that safely transports precious kit, as well as the camping essentials, in comfort. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
