Lowepro Tahoe BP 150 (Mica/Pixel Camo),Green

I wanted a smaller, durable, and practical camera backpack for light hikes and outdoor day trips. The color is great and blends well in outdoor environments and looks good without being "tactical" or just another boring black backpack. It's great for taking to the beach, park, or woods where you don't care about it getting dirty or scuffed up. Fits my Canon 80D with ProMedia L grip and 70-200mm lens plus the hood and 3 other lenses perfectly with some room to spare. One cool feature that is especially useful is that the inner zippered pouch inside is velcro at the bottom, which means if you have a bigger/longer lense you can move the pouch and you still have room to store a camera with the lens attached to the camera body (see pic for example, trade off is you lose that storage compartment) Fits a water bottle and my K & F 28 tripod. Since the mesh goes all the way to where it meets the bag I am not sure about the long term durability of the mesh. Another thing to consider, and this isn't a quality flaw, just an inherent design common to other backpacks, is the fact it opens face up. Why this matters is that if the ground is muddy/sandy/etc since you lay it straps and back down, when you put it back on you're putting a dirty pack right up against you. If it zipped on the inside and you laid it face down to open it then you wouldn't have that problem. Not a big deal but something to consider when you're shopping for camera backpacks. Also, not a flaw but a consideration, there is no waist or chest strap and the shoulder strap and back padding is not particularly thick. It's comfortable for shorter hikes but if you're doing long hikes across a variety of terrain/elevation it will bounce and slide around and be distracting. The pockets on the front are great for storing wallets, keys, phones, SD cards, and tablets. *BONUS* The Pelican 1510 case fits it perfectly! (see picture) Also the Mosiso 15-16in camera backpack also fits. Bought the Pelican case to keep my camera gear safe when I go out boating or kayaking. The case rocks! If you're carrying around expensive camera gear or drones, do yourself a favor, spend the money and get the Pelican 1510. Highly recommend it if you're getting this backpack or a similar sized one.Overall I really like this bag. Lower profile but capable of carrying the gear you need. Good balance of function and form. Good for folks looking to stay light, mobile and active. Suited for light to moderate activity, great bag for shooting outdoor events like festivals and camping. Not as good if you are trying to carry a lot of gear or doing strenuous hikes across varied terrain/elevation.Pros/Benefits-Great color combo and build quality-Good side pockets and straps-Light but feels durable-Travel friendly dimensions-Interior compartments and pockets easy to move to fit your gearCons/Considerations-Non lockable zippers-Smaller size means limitations to the size of laptops that will fit in the backpack-Side pockets can be tight if interior of backpack is fully loaded or carrying bulky items-Opens face up-Not geared towards long hikes-Might be snug with larger frame cameras and bigger/longer lens

The LowePro Tahoe BP 150 is a fantastic camera backpack for photographers on the go. Lightweight yet sturdy, it provides excellent protection for gear with customizable compartments. The sleek design and comfortable straps make it ideal for travel. Perfect for medium-sized setups—functional, durable, and stylish!

I’ve had this bad for 2 years and it is still holding up amazingly well. It is an ideal backpack for small travels or day trips. I think this is an amazing camera backpack. It has enough room for everything I need to carry. I can fit my Sony camera attached to a 24-70 with three other prime lenses or a 70-200 along with SD cards, accessories, cleaning kits, etc. I’d certainly recommend it to anyone!

I bought this camera backpack for travel, but I have not had a chance to use on a trip. Therefore, I will update this review once I have used it on a trip.So far I have to say it is a good backpack for me. The backpack offers some protection, that is, there is padding. The backpack's outer cover is not just tough fabric. It has some cushioning. Its size can hold my full frame DSLR (Canon 5D Mark III) with a zoom lens (dim: 5"x8"x6"; 4 lbs) plus extra room for miscellaneous items. But it is not too big for travel. The size is a good fit for my needs.I will update my evaluation once I have had a chance to use this backpack on an actual trip.

I am posting a quick review on this bag. I hike in the Fakahatchee Swamp and also enjoy photographing wild horses in North Dakota. In both these areas I use walking sticks because of the difficult terrain. In the swamp I am in knee deep water and in ND it is rocky mountainous terrain. I wanted a very small backpack that would free up my hands for walking poles. I kept seeing reviews with a pouch sewn into the top of the bag. The bag dimensions seem correct, but I did not want the zippered pouch.I purchased this bag and immediately went to work on the pouch with my handy scalpel knife (also from Amazon). It was easy to remove the pouch and the bag is now fully open. It is shown in my photographs with a Nikon Z8, a 1.4 teleconverter, and a 70-200 lens attached and a 24 -120 lens along side. There is obviously a lot of room still left for additional items.I own a half dozen other bags that cost 6 times as much. All have a purpose. This little LowePro is great for carrying a lot of camera gear in a small package. If I remove the 70-200 I can replace it with a 500mmPF or a 100-400 Nikon zoom lens. It would also work well with camera bodies such as a D500 or most mirrorless cameras. The new Nikon 180-600 may also fit.This is a handy bag to have available and you can not beat the quality and the price if you are thinking "small" ! See photos included.

Excellent quality bag, it has a great stitching finish and a good divider

I bought this bag for wildlife photography and traveling with some equipment. I know that a lot of people will think that having the 200-600 defeats the purpose of having a light bag but that is the reason I bought this bag for. There’s nothing worse than hiking for hours with your equipment plus a heavy bag to get where you want to be, sit there for hours taking pictures, and then hiking back to your car with back pain. As you can see by the pictures I can fit my 200-600 lens, with an A7iii body on one side and the A7C on the other with a 24-70 F4 installed. I also have the battery case with 2 extra batteries for the cameras and a battery case with 2 extra batteries for the go pro. I can also fit my MacBook Air 13 inches in the front pocket. Not where the tablet space is, but it fits.When traveling I leave the 200-600 behind and only take the 2 bodies with the 24-70 f4, the 70-200 f4 and the mavic air 2, the laptop, and it fits nicely. The Sirui AM-225 is a good combo tripod for this little bag since is not too tall or heavy.Bottom line, the bag is comfortable, small but can be fit to meet your needs, and light.I definitely recommend this bag!
