Compare to my most preferred travel backpack camera bag <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kentyuphotography.com\/blog\/2008\/06\/lowepro-fastpack-200\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lowepro Fastpack 200<\/a>, it is a little bit smaller, but the camera compartment utilises the whole backpack unlike the Faspack 200 which only offers the bottom half of the bag. The Flipside 300 also includes a small waist belt for added support. A tripod can also be amounted on the front. It feels comfortable enough as expected from a backpack but I don\u2019t like the appearance&#160; due to its box shape contour. Personally, I prefer the shape of Fastpack 200, but wishes it has the inside layout like the flipside 300 without separating top and bottom comparment. Perhaps, a Lowepro Flippack ??<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Below is a size comparison between Flipside 300 and Fastpack 200<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a title=\"_ND09077 by Dr Kent, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kentkc\/3594092539\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto\" alt=\"_ND09077\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3406\/3594092539_e538de1b22.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Here is how I packed the Flipside 300:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Nikon D700+MB-D10 with 24-70mm f\/2.8 attached (70-200mm f\/2.8 attached is also possible)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">14-24mm f\/2.8<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">70-200 f\/2.8<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">SB-900<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">small compartment for filters, batteries, etc<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"center\"><a title=\"DSC06824 by Dr Kent, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kentkc\/3594092919\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC06824\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3650\/3594092919_da33ec88fb.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In my opinion, the flipside 300 gives a perfect fit for the<a href=\"http:\/\/kentkc.blogspot.com\/2009\/01\/nikon-14-24mm-f28.html\" target=\"_blank\"> Holy Trinity<\/a>&#160; (14-24mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm) and a flash, It fits more than the Fastpack 200 but lacks physical appearance.
