As time goes on and smartphone cameras keep getting better than ever, it’s getting harder to find reasons to carry a large DSLR or even a mirrorless camera anymore. However, if you’re of the mindset that they’ll have to pry the camera out of your cold, dead fingers — or you need a bigger camera/photography setup for professional reasons — you’ll be happy to know there are still companies out here who have your back(pack).

The ProTactic 350 AW II by Lowepro — which was updated in 2022 to be more eco-friendly than the original version — has all the room you need to fit all your photography gear, including a DSLR camera (with 24-70mm f/2.8 lens attached), a spare camera body, a 13″ laptop, up to 6 lenses, and a high-end drone like the DJI Mavic 2 Pro.

On top of that, you get four access points for getting at that gear: top turret, dual side access, and back panel:

Even fully packed, this bag is compact enough to fit under an airplane seat — handy for those particularly remote jobs that come your way. It’s also quite rugged and durable, and should keep your stuff well protected from impacts, wherever you go.
