Lowepro has announced a new twist to its Mini Trekker pack, the m-Trekker BP 150, designed for today's compact camera systems. The m-Trekker's design features the security of body-side access, robust fabric options and a fully customizable interior.
"Mirrorless, compact camera users often get stuck using large bags meant for bulkier dSLR cameras," said Tim Grimmer, vice president of brand and product for Lowepro. "The m-Trekker provides them with a modern, streamlined solution for their camera and lenses, specifically tailored to lighter, smaller camera rigs."
The $119.95 m-Trekker BP 150 doesn't scream camera bag. While the secure body-side access safeguards against theft, the customizable interior can hold a mirrorless kit along with additional gear ,including a DJI Osmo or Mavic Drone.
The All-Weather AW Cover protects your gear in any weather. The two fabric options include a high-tenacity nylon Black Cordura and a polyester/cotton blend gray Canvex with a polyurethane coating. The bag is a perfect fit for mirrorless cameras like the Canon EOS M10, Sony a7 and Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II, the company said. Fits a GorillaPod or compact tripod, too.
