I'm looking for a backpack to carry my scope and also my tripod as well as my binoculars (as well as a few smaller things like field guide, water bottle etc.). I'm willing to spend around 100€.
I have checked out the Lowepro Flipside 400 AW II at a local store already and it would fit scope and binoculars nicely but my tripod seems to be too large (67cm). It's not that I want the tripod to fit inside the backpack but I think when attached to the side of the backpack the tripod still shouldn't stick out too much over the top. I'm worried that if so balance will be off. But this is what would probably happen with the Flipside 400 AW II.
Something like the Lowepro Scope Porter 200 AW or the Lowepro Scope Travel 200 AW would probably be best but for some reason I can't find any of them available anywhere, they seem to be discontinued...
Do you have any suggestions for a good backpack with an option to attach larger tripods like mine that is over all similar in size to the Flipside AW II? Also I'm open to any other suggestions reagarding transport of equipment. What do you use?
Best regards!
