Lowepro ProTactic BP 350 AW III Review

Looking for the best camera backpack for outdoor and event photography? In this video, I review the Lowepro ProTactic BP 350 AW III, one of Lowepro’s most popular modular camera bags designed for professional photographers and content creators. But is it the best option?

I’m struggling with this one…

Bags, bags, bags. I have a lot of camera bags. I almost have one for every situation now. But I also recognise that because I have a photography-based YouTube channel with a reasonable reach, brands will ask me to review their products. I don’t say yes to everything. In fact, I more often than not say no. Either the product isn’t related to photography, or I have no use for it.

There is something about camera bags though. Someone how I can find a reason to test another because there is a “gap” in my bag line up. So, when Lowepro asked to try out their Lowepro ProTactic BP 350 AW III I said yes. I’m not sure what gap I was trying to fill but I’m glad I decided to look at this one because it’s very good. However, I found myself struggling with one particular part of this video review. What? You’ll just have to watch to find out.

Photography and Wild Camping on Dartmoor with the Lowepro PhotoSport Backpack PRO AW III

Is there a backpack designed for photographers & videographers that can also be used on multi-day hikes, adventures, and wild camping? Lowepro thinks they have one with the PhotoSport Backpack PRO AW III. In this video review, I put it to the real-world test by taking it on a landscape photography and wild camping adventure on Dartmoor.

A Bag for My Wild Camping Photography Adventures

As you may have read recently on my blog, I have taken the bold step into the world of wild camping. Not only does this change the way I can approach my photography, but it also means I need to carry a lot more gear. My dedicated camera bag doesn’t have the capacity to carry sleeping bags, tents, and overnight provisions.

In a stroke of luck, as I was having a look around the internet for possible bag options, Lowepro got in touch and asked if I wanted to test out one of their PhotoSport Backpack Pro AW III bags! If I hadn’t taken up wild camping I would have said no, but as I had a real need for a bag like this, I knew I could put it to good use and produce a video review based on real-world experience.

In the video below, you can join me as I take landscape photographs of Dartmoor, share with you the joy of wild camping and hear all my thoughts on the Lowepro bag.
