I know the market of outdoor backpacks in this size ratio very well and share my experience / opinion like that photo "Outdoor -" / "backpack" as the Rover Pro no signifikant- unjustified product / price ratio is subject.
To my subjective standards of such "outdoor product" include:
- Suitable and comfortable wearing comfort (which makes a backpack)
- Protection for photographic equipment
- Functionality such as fast access to the camera in multi-day trips off "paved roads"
Short and sweet:
The significant advantage in my eyes (e) in the Rover Pro against other backpacks:
- A very good tripod mount on one side
- Good inside pocket (n in the 45L version) for Camera Equipment
The most important consideration in my disadvantages:
- Processing and choice of materials and seams
- Construction, for example in the middle of the hip belt: Useless seam and material changes are for Zerschleiß (eg "exfoliation") lead to thinner functional clothing (eg made of merino wool)
- Price
Conclusion:
Personally, I'm better with a "normal" backpack from the outdoor industry operated, I have let me adjust to my body in stores and also (ATTENTION ESSENTIAL for comparison) also has a front opening. For about Lowepro I ordered the camera inside pockets separately and add them now in the much cheaper backpack (if necessary) a. Of course, so I have the positive tripod mount verzichten- have yet but (almost) all outdoor backpacks where I can attach my normal tripod an attachment for hiking poles o. Ä., Also.
All my review is based on the subjective experience and the opportunities that exist. I've gained a lot of different camera Chen / suitcases / backpacks in the past and re-sold as it is the "jack of all trades" and not gibt- this backpack for me it is not. If someone is satisfied with this product I am pleased. :-)
The confidence to Lowepro persists. The product expansion in this segment is growing at for some time and then the products (processing / Materials) develop steadily. A Qulitätszuwachs is recorded. I look forward with certainty to be found in certain time a more advanced model of the rover on offer and am a new test positive attitude: I am looking forward to it! As long as I am but as mentioned by my (interim) solution far better served. I hope it is clear that I am referring specifically to the evaluated product and not the company per se bewerte- I take neither by name comparisons, nor advertise other products before (that's the point is not even).
