It's my workhorse bag, I use it most of the time for my aviation trips. The config here is not my usual one, it's more to show how much one can put into it - however, I actually used it like that twice when going abroad with the plane :) The backpack is absolutely brilliant - apart from what you could expect as Lowepro standard, you get a very strong zipper that firmly closes the top even if some items are sticking a bit out of the "usual" depth (I miss that feature in the Nature Trekker). The front pocket is very deep, once I went to the Berlin air show with only the Minitrekker and all of my personal stuff (clothes, toothbrush etc :)) packed there. And, yes, the plane... while "regular size" backpacks like Nature Trekker are made to fulfil the norms for the carry-on luggage, the reality is sometimes less optimistic.. and Mini Trekker is the safe bet.

What works

Everything: quality, flexibility, capacity, large front pocket, AW cover, smart tripod holder, solid zipper

Room for improvement

Can't think of any. This one is just perfect.

Great bag, lots of room yet doesn't look it. I had the mini trekker 100, but was too small to fit anything but d50 and 18-70mm lens. Got domke f-2, great bag, tough to fit all my gear though, still a great shoulder bag if i am not carrying all my gear. Then got this, i am happy.

What works

Weatherproof, huge compared to how it looks

Room for improvement

heavy even when empty

Small outside, big inside. It can house many lenses and accessories. As you can see it easily fit body + grip, backup body, flash and 4-5 lenses (depends on lens size) and many accessories (in flap pockets). Can fit 400D+70-200/2.8L + hood (NOT reversed)!

What works

Capacity, normal-backpack size, AW cover

It's a very good bag and I love it. it carried all my equipment in tracks in Canda, Holland (even in Wadlopen) and Tanzania. I also use the front compartment for my laptop which fits in nicely.

What works

Build, space, effiency

Room for improvement
