Lowepro Flipside 300 or Mini Trekker?

[HPS3]

We will be heading to the World in March and I need to get a new bag to haul more gear. Currently I use a Slingshot 102 for my D5100 + 18-55, 35mm, Opteka Fisheye. I need to carry the D5100, 18-55, 35, fisheye, sigma 70-200, SB600 and tripod. I am looking at the Flipside and the Trekker. Any opinions?

What I would recommend is that you go to www.avidmaxoutfitters.com. On the camera bag webpage they have a camera bag finder. You input what you want to carry and they make recommendations. I have purchased all my Lowepro equipment from them and found them to be an excellent vendor.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will check it out.

I've got the FS 400 and love it. But it's way to big to lug around Disney all day. Did that in DC last summer and it almost killed me

Can you really spin the Flipside around and use it as a platform to change lenses and such?

Yup. Keep the waist strap locked around you, remove the shoulder straps and pull the bag around front. It then hangs in front of you and you can unzip the bag and take things in and out.
