Lowepro Expands Gear Capacity and Options for Traveling Photographers with Next Generation of Popular Pro Runner Series

PETALUMA, Calif., May 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lowepro, the leading maker of photography carrying solutions, today unveiled the next generation of its widely popular Pro Runner II series, designed specifically for hardworking and globetrotting photography and videography professionals. Adaptable and travel-friendly, the Pro Runner II series organizes and protects a wide array of gear and provides convenient options for maneuvering in busy airports and crowded streets. The updated series – including the Pro Runner BP 350 AW II, the Pro Runner BP 450 AW II and the Pro Runner RL x450 AW II – is trusted by working professionals to meet their business and travel needs. 

"Today's photographers and videographers carry a wide array of gear with them from airport to job site, and everywhere in between," said Tim Grimmer, vice president of brand and product at Lowepro. "But it can be challenging and expensive to store and travel with all of that equipment. Our updated Pro Runner series is trusted to offer greater storage capacity and travel-friendly versatility than ever before."

The improved Pro Runner II series features organizational zones to maximize storage and efficiency. Its camera zone is outfitted with MaxFit System™ dividers to ensure a snug and protective fit for a range of camera and kit options. The device zone provides dedicated spaces for laptops and tablets with CradleFit™ pockets that suspend and protect these valuable devices, and a removable accessory case provides convenient organization for hard drives, cables and cords.

Thoughtful, travel-friendly details woven throughout the Pro Runner II series include high-quality locking zippers, easy-access front document pockets, mesh side pockets, an adjustable sternum strap, Hideaway Tripod Mount™, SlipLock™ attachment loops, and an All Weather AW Cover™ in a zippered pocket. The Pro Runner RL x450 AW II also includes a smooth-operating handle and sturdy wheels, plus tuck-in shoulder straps and removable waistbelt for conversion to a rolling bag.

All three bags meet standard airline carry-on requirements, although laptop, tripod and attachments may require removal during inspection. Contact the airline to confirm current size and weight restrictions.

The Pro Runner BP 350 AW II, Pro Runner BP 450 AW II and the Pro Runner RL x450 AW II are available from retailers and at http://www.lowepro.com for $249.95, $299.95 and $399.95, respectively.
