- This is a side by side comparison of two backpack style camera bags with side access. They are the Lowepro Fastpack Pro BP 250 AW III and the Fastpack BP 250 AW III. This video shows the similarities and differences, with a focus on top compartment packing space for travel as well as demonstrations of laptop, water bottle, and clothing carrying ability.
Great video, exactly what I needed as I was visually comparing stats and features between the Pro and Standard on their website. Thank you. Also going with standard I believe, for a travel pack that will contain mirrorless + 3 lenses, Macbook Air, magazine, hoodie, personal items, etc. Will also use it to store all camera gear in at home. Since you pointed out the top compartment is the same volume between the 2, standard should work for me, with the slimmer profile allowing easier under-seat placement on small regional jets as a bonus. Thanks again.
Good video, nice clear information and no BS. Many thanks.
You're welcome.
Great video! The reason for the two different models is that the "Pro" version is typically for a mirrorless or DSLR camera body with a battery grip attached thus requiring the extra width. I have used battery grips for many years and have purchased a few bags and had to return them because the bags were not big/wide enough to fit my cameras with battery grips. Thank you!
Thank you, and your welcome. I am glad the video helped you distinguish the two.
It did! I ordered one yesterday from Amazon! Thanks again!@@jjkulick
Just wanted thank you for taking the time to make this very informative video. I ended up going with the standard because of the slimmer profile and weight. I figured if i ever needed to pack anything more then I would get a different bag for occasion. Just picked it up today for my Nikon Z8!
@@astromoosie You’re welcome. Happy to have helped you see how they compare.
Very cool comparison. I'm sending it for someone who asked me for such a solution.
I have the lowepro 350 tactical version but this one is more suitable for hybrid backpacking.
Thank you for commenting and sharing.
Thank you for showing the interior dimensions with the tape measure. I wanted to verify which one could hold a mirrorless camera body with a vertical grip attached. Looks like the Pro works better for my situation.
You're welcome; happy to have helped you decide.
Thanks for the insightful video, this was exactly what I needed! I have the Pro and it's the best camera backpack I've ever used, but it's also very big for daypack use. You convinced me to get the standard, I'll decide later if I'll keep both.
You’re welcome! I’m pretty sure you will like the slimmer profile to use as a daypack.
man that is how you do a comparison video. I've had the standard for 3 years, finally wore it out. Wasn't sure if the pro was the way to go. Thanks a bunch
ps I'm also a big advocate of bamboo cool underwear. Once you try them it's impossible to go back
Thank you. Glad the video helped you. Would you like to share how your standard wore out in three years? Yes nice undies, they just take extra time to dry
well its mostly my fault, I cut off the waist band when I got it because I didn't think I'd need it. Also tossed the chest strap. So the bag really isnt even at fault when it comes to me needing a new one.
Just got back from maui and did a 12 mile hike through haleakala. I really wish I had waist support for that hike. I'm still sore.
I'm super rough on my gear, basically throwing the bag around so I get my shot as soon as possible.
The only thing that broke was the plastic safety clasp that stops the side compartment from fully opening.
I've taken it to hawaii twice along with the grand canyon, zion and a few local treks. Such a great bag for storing wet sandy clothes away from camera stuff.
I managed 5 days in maui with just this backpack and a carry on. With a massive gripped hasselblad x2d, and the 35-75 lens. Camera alone weighs 6 lbs.
I may just get the regular again since I'm used to it. Maybe you could link the waist pads you like from amazon, and set up an affiliate code so you get a few pennies if someone buys it.
cheers

Those sound like some epic trips!! Subscribed.
The padded hip belt on the Pro is a consideration, especially if you pack heavy. It's extra support, even more once I realized it sat best resting over the hips and not on them. Which, by consequence, raises the pack and load higher. Not sure if that's good or bad. The strap on the Standard seems more just to keep the bag from shifting and I'll have to test the slip-on pads.
Thanks for the insight about affiliate codes btw.
As you saw, it's also a matter of how much bag you can tolerate protruding out from behind you.
Good point too about having the separate compartments for wet items. A lot of other camera packs aren't designed that way.
I appreciate the commentary.

Thank you so much for an excellent comparison video! This is exactly what I needed to get an idea of the differences and which one I should go for. You did an outstanding job!!!! Fantastic! Thank you.
Thank you. It's really good to hear that it helped you choose!
Very helpful video! I liked simplicity and attention to user. Thank you
Thank you. It’s good to hear that it helped!
Thank tou for this video, I was looking for a comparison between the two models.
I wasn't sure which one to buy, but after watching your video, I think i will go for the pro model.
Thanks!
I’m glad this helped you decide. I believe they both represent good quality to value ratio.
a very useful video indeed, thank you for sharing it !
You're welcome. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Great comparison video & explains to Pro verses STD differences extremely well, thank you for the time & effort to do this video, its appreciated.
You’re very welcome. Knowing that it is appreciated makes it well worth the effort.
Thank you, exactly what I was looking for.
I have the ProTactic 450, which is great if I want to carry camera, drone etc, over a shorter distance, but for relaxed hikes of 10-15km where I want to take my camera with 2 lenses, binoculars, compact tripod and a bit to drink and eat just too big and heavy (with bottle holder about twice the weight of the 250 Pro).
I think the better hip belt is a plus point for me in favour of the 250 Pro, as is the small compartment, as I can easily reach my mobile phone without having to carry it in my trouser pocket.
You're welcome, I'm happy to have helped you decide. I considered the ProTactic too, so I'm sure you will appreciate the weight saved even when the pack is empty.
Great informative video. I appreciate your use of a tape measure!!
I'm pleased it helped; I thought that may be useful to some.
Great comparison. I was looking for this video.
I’m happy you found it 🙂
Thank you kind sir! Helped me make a great decision (got the smaller version)
You’re quite welcome! Enjoy it 🎒
Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
Thank you for this vid. Very helpful. Will be going with the standard model
You’re welcome and thank you for taking the time to comment.
Great video, thanks👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for this video, it is just what I needed to see. I just ordered the pro, but am wondering now if I can get by with the standard model.
You’re welcome. I’m glad it’s helping some people out. My first thought when I opened the Pro was that it seemed too large for me.
i found this video very helpful! However, i do have a question about the laptop compartment. Would it fit a 17inch laptop? one that is not as slim as your macbook pro
As far as thickness, the compartment on the Standard fits two laptops stacked. I tried it with my MacBook and an Asus from years ago. Concerning corner to corner size, my MacBook measures just under 17" corner to corner closed and there is an inch of space (total) to spare. Hope this helps you.
Thank you for this video, i already bought the Lowepro Fastpack Pro BP 250 AW III and i didn't know there was a normal one. Now i have the problem that my Sony A7 sometimes moves in my bag and i don't want that. I already tried to change the layout of the dividers but i can't find the rigt layout. Do you know if there are other dividers to use in the Lowepro Fastpack Pro BP 250 AW III?
Your welcome. You can purchase other dividers, and I have another pack that included a small hook and loop strap that is supposed to help secure a camera down with a lens attached. You might also consider a camera cube insert or something similar which I think might work if the opening orientation suits you.
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for this detailed and informational clip. I am looking to get the standard one also, but I don't seem to find the slip-on pads for the waste strap. Do you happen to have a link to such product? I would very much appreciate it. Thank you!
You're welcome. I have not ordered these to try, but these are the two I was referencing: a.co/d/dYwrT77 and a.co/d/d3LQNZF
@@jjkulick Thank you so much for your reply.
Wondering how large the "standard" is on the back compared to your average non-camera, tech backpack.
The reason I ask is I am considering the Lowepro Truckee 250 BP, which measures 17.3 x 11.8 x 7.9" externally.
I flipflopping between this and the Fastpack "standard", because it looks like it might be a little oversized.
I like the idea of the extra space, but the Truckee is small enough to look like a regular, unassuming backpack and its size meets airline guidelines for a personal item (so you could still carry on a small suitcase).
The Fastpack however, is superior in both design and features, so I was curious to know if you feel if it was very lightly packed when I'm boarding a plane, I might get away with calling it a personal item bag.
Fastpack
External: 21.3 x 12.4 x 7.9"
Internal: 11.4 x 10 x 5.1" Top - 11.4 x 8.7 x 4.9" Camera
Weight: 2.7 lb
Truckee
External: 17.3 x 11.8 x 7.9"
Internal: 10.4 x 8.8 x 5.2" Top - 10 x 7.6 x 6" Camera
Weight 1.5 lb
I would describe the standard as slightly larger than a reg. backpack. The standard is: 19 1/4 x 12 x 6" (ext.). As far as the looks, to me it passes as a reg. pack. One thing I notice is that even if it's packed lightly, the bottom isn't made to be flattened. So while you might flatten out the top compartment some, you will still be dealing with (about the bottom 1/3) being 6" front to back. While wearing the standard on my back, it does feel closer to a reg. pack than the pro for sure but again a little larger. I have an Osprey Daylite pack that has always passed easily as a personal bag, but this Fastpack might make you want to be sure on what the airline measurements are. Let me know if I can help you any further.
I ended up getting the "standard" version of the Fastpack. I will asses this when it arrives. I chose it because it has the size, pockets, etc that I will need. I was using a Lowerpo Tahoe, which is great but as I usually carry my camera on a strap - the backpack became more general use than photography. That means where the camera is normally stowed ended up getting filled with things like rain jackets and shopping - and it just isn't large enough to cope. Then if I ended up somewhere where cameras aren't allowed I was stuck. So it might be a little large, maybe too large, but I can always return it and get something smaller if that proves to be the case.
Very helpful video! Do you know if the Sony 200-600mm zoom lens would fit in this pack? the lens measures 4.5 x 12.625 in.
Thank you. That lens wouldn't fit in the Standard unless you wanted to pack it in the top and diagonally.
@@jjkulick Thanks for the info!
I wish there was a way to remove the divider separating top and bottom..😢
I had the pro until it was stolen. Accidentally ordered standard and my gear is not fitting as standard is way smaller.
@@jcp1833 That’s terrible that it was stolen.
Thank you!
Your welcome.
