Designed to blend in to the urban environment the new Lowepro Transit backpack can hold a surprising volume of precious technology – with dedicated compartments for camera gear, laptop, smartphone and accessories.

There’s also room for 1-2 additional lenses, flash, accessories and a separate padded pocket, which will protect your laptop (up to 15”). 

A compact tripod can also be mounted on the outside of the backpack – safely slipped into a tripod shoe and secured with a cinch strap.

With its All Weather Cover to protect against the elements and weighing in at just over 1 kilo (1.1kg) – this really is a ‘take it anywhere’ backpack – light, stylish and ideal for today’s street and travel photographers.  The Lowepro Transit Backpack 350 also fits within most airline carry on allowances*.
