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)!

Capacity, normal-backpack size, AW cover

Great bag, lots of room yet doesnt look it. I had the mini trekker 100, but was too small to fit anything but d50 and 18-70 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.


Likes about the bag:
Weatherproof, huge compared to how it looks

Dislikes about the bag:
heavy even when empty

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.

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

Dislikes about the bag:

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