Adapt to Every Moment
Introducing the ProTactic BP 450 AW III, part of Lowepro’s ProTactic III collection, designed for the demanding needs of the working photographer shooting events and other jobs all day and largely outdoors. Adapting day to day based on the location and subject. This backpack is built to adapt, offering four points of access to suit any scenario. It features dual side doors for quick access without taking the bag off, making it ideal for left-handed users as well. The wide top access is perfect for longer telephoto lenses, allowing you to get your setup in and out without opening the whole bag. Full back access provides comprehensive gear organization, perfect for assembled video rigs or just organizing your gear for the other doors.

Innovative Divider System
The ProTactic BP 450 AW III includes a new molded divider system with pressed ends for seamless end-to-end attachment. This lets you extend and connect dividers in new ways to adapt to your changing kit. A new divider corner detail makes divider further conform to the angled or rounded corners in the bag to reduce gaps. MaxFit™ dividers allow precise placement to fit more.

Laptop and Accessory Carry Pockets
Inside the back door, you’ll find zippered transparent organization pockets on top of a CradleFit laptop pocket that fits up to a 16” MacBook Pro. The side doors have large exterior stretch pockets that hold up to a 1L bottle and are reinforced at the bottom for tripod support. Additional loops and pockets on the top of the sides allows for quick access to items and secure tripod attachment. The backpack stands upright on its own, making it easy to handle and access your gear.
