The Lowepro Protostik BP 350 AW II Camera and Laptop Backpack is an excellent compact camera case that not only looks good but also packs a punch. It comes with two exterior zippered pockets and a large pocket on the inside of the bag for your removable battery. You can use this pocket to store other accessories, or you can use it for your slim portable video camera. The large pocket on the inside is perfect for holding either a flash unit or extra memory stick.
The case is made out of a tough nylon/leather material that has been specifically designed to help protect your camera from shock, impact, and bumps. The nylon/leather exterior is also capable of withstanding falls from a few feet off the ground, making this particular Lowepro Protostik BP 350 AW II Camera and Laptop Backpack an excellent choice for anyone who wants a solid laptop/camera bag that will last a long time. Another advantage of the case is that it provides superior target protection. The blow-molded, targeted foam cutouts inside the bag to help keep your equipment safe from knocks and drops.
While the Lowepro Protostik BP 350 AW II Camera and Laptop Backpack offer some impressive features and superior target protection, it does sacrifice some convenience for the sake of weight. At just over ten pounds, the Stingray Pro bag is quite a heavy item to carry, but it makes up for it with its durability and superior target protection. This is especially important when you consider how small the camera is and how easily it can slip out of your hands during an important moment. And although the Protostik case does include a zip lock bag for added security, you may want to consider investing in one of the many other case options on the market, which offer zipper-less access to the bag as well as keychain hooking mechanisms that allow you to quickly lock or unlock your bag. Even with the lightweight target protection provided by the Pro Stingray bag alone, it may not be enough to prevent against the possible fault of one of your primary lenses. Invest in a couple of good target protection accessories to make sure you get the most out of your camera.
