Every photographer needs a good and dependable backpack for every adventure they embark on. The process of creating compelling visual art through photography may not directly be equated to what carries the photographer’s gear but comfort, security, and style can definitely influence how a creative mind would function.

With the emergence of the “New Normal”, we photographers are faced with new challenges. Travel across the world has been greatly reduced to combat the spread of disease but that doesn’t mean that we are hindered from creating. In fact, we’re presented with an opportunity to explore places that we may have looked past. May it be a trek to a nearby hill, a quick stroll at a national park, or a full-on hiking expedition, you can never run out of places to explore even in the vicinity of your hometown. And for any kind of journey that you may embark on, there is a dependable backpack for your precious photography gear and more.

The Lowepro Photo Active Backpack: Your Dayhike Companion

The Photoactive line is a great choice for traveling photographers and hobbyists who are going on day-hikes and short shooting trips. It combines the two most important attributes of any travel-related gear. The Photo Active backpack is lightweight and built to be easy on the back with the ActiveZone™ systems that make the shoulder straps, waist belts, back pads and adjustment points comfortable even for long periods of wearing and carrying.

The bag opens through two zippered side doors for quick access to your gear, and a top zipper for easy access to your personal items. Both sides are lined with flexible pockets for water bottles and other essentials and bilaterally equipped with flexible straps for carrying compact tripods or Gorillapods. At the front-most is an additional Tricot-lined stash pocket for small personal items like glasses, wallets, mobile phones, etc.

The interior offers an entirely modifiable compartment to perfectly fit your photography gear and other personal essentials that you may need when travelling. The Lowepro Photoactive features the versatile QuickShelf™ compartment that allows you to organize your gear to your liking by simply making adjustments to the spacing of the 3-tier shelves and dividers and folds flat-and-thin or even pulled out to convert into a general-use backpack for carrying light and non-delicate items. The rear laptop compartment offers the CradleFit™ system for suspended impact protection. The laptop or tablet placed in this compartment is virtually suspended away from the bottom of the bag for better protection from impact. This compartment is also convertible and able to accommodate a 2-liter hydration pack for more rigorous outdoor use.
