Lowepro Flipside 400 AW III

The Lowepro Flipside 400 AW III opens from the back panel — keeping your camera gear against your body and out of reach of pickpockets. It holds a DSLR or mirrorless body with 4-6 lenses, has a dedicated drone compartment, built-in AW (All Weather) cover and a tablet sleeve. The outdoor photographer's bag.

GearFrame's Take

The Flipside 400 is the bag of choice for outdoor and travel photographers who need security, weatherproofing and serious carrying capacity. The back-access design is particularly good in crowds — your gear is never accessible to anyone but you.

✅ Great For

🦅

Wildlife All-weather protection, hiking-comfortable harness and enough space for a long telephoto setup.

✈️

Travel Back-access keeps gear secure in busy airports and markets. All Weather cover handles unexpected rain.

🏔️

Landscape Comfortable on long hikes to shooting locations. Fits tripod straps on the outside. All-weather protection.

👤

Portrait Carries a complete portrait kit. The back-access design is less ideal for quick lens changes on-location.

🌆

Street Secure back access is ideal for busy urban environments. Slightly bulky for compact street shooting.

⚠️ Not Ideal For

No significant limitations identified — this is a versatile camera without obvious weak spots for most shooters.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
