As my wife travels a lot due to her job as a freelance photographer, the time finally came to upgrade her old carry-on camera bag due to it being too small. Her old Lowepro<\/a> backpack was just not up to the task anymore, old and small. Plus all the extra gear she is carrying is just too much for her back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So the task was set to find out what is the best DSLR Camera Backpack for traveling. There are just so many designs and styles around. Lowepro has one of the biggest ranges of quality camera cases around, so we started to do some investigation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n We needed the case to have a few basic features like –<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Lowepro x450 roller AW ii seemed to tick all those boxes on paper, but could it really deliver?<\/p>\n\n\n\n So after many weeks of reading online reviews, and checking specifications the new Lowepro pro runner x450 <\/a>travel photography backpack was ordered from Amazon.<\/span>\u00a0This is the newer version 2 with many important upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wow! This photography travel case has it all, and then some. It has all the same great features as the older x450 version 1, but some added extra features and new styling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So right off the bat, we started to give this roller backpack a full workout. We took it to the park for a wedding shoot. Off to the Wool Sheds for some engagement rustic photos. Down to the beach for another wedding party shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fully loaded you really feel the weight. But rolling it around was no problem whatsoever. The handle retracts out to a nice long length, so you don’t have to bend over while dragging the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best way to really test this pro runner travel photography backpack<\/span> was to take it halfway around the world. This was another wedding photo job, so a great way to fully test out all its pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Traveling from Australia to Hawaii and then onto Utah (Salt Lake City) and back, we were surprised to see how well this case actually performs.<\/p>\n\n\n Being an All-weather bag (AW) we know our expensive camera gear is protected in wet weather. Out zips a hidden small bag raincoat if it’s pouring down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The design of each compartment is laid out really well. With adjustable and removable Velcro compartments, you have a huge range of options for your valuable camera gear. This makes the x450 roller camera bag compact, but still able to store a huge range of gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The problem with a larger camera case is that you won’t be able to take it on the airline with you as carry-on luggage. None of us want to put $10,000 dollars worth of camera gear as cargo hold luggage. Gear may accidentally get broken or go missing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where the airline-compatible camera case comes into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Lowepr pro runner RL (roller) x450 is right at the limit of allowable carry-on baggage size. In fact during our flight journey, we found many other people who seem to be pushing the limits of luggage sizes as carry-on bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most airlines have set the maximum dimensions for carry-on bags. These vary slightly from airline to airline but the consensus is –<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below is a photo of our Lowepro x450 case in an overhead luggage rack on a Qantas International flight Boeing 787-8. Our camera case is in the middle with a jacket on top. Plenty of room.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n Domestic flights were also not a problem. They have even smaller overhead racks, but it still fits in no problem. Its\u00a0sized to fit in the overhead carry-on stow-away compartments, on most commercial airliners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You wouldn’t want to place it under the chair in-front of you, as there would be no room for your feet. But it does fit. We tried it just for fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the million-dollar question. We wanted a roller. Save your back, shoulders, and get a camera case with roller wheels. The trade-off is a small increase in overall weight, due to the rollers and telescopic handle. You now have so many more carry options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even though you have wheels on the x450 RL, you still have the backpack straps, for when the going gets tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dragging this case through airports, along with another luggage suitcase is a breeze. This camera case is designed for air travel. It’s very movable with many options for transport. Backpack, drag, push, or hand carry. So many options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n Click Image for more information. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n
