Shoulder bag Lowepro Nova 160 AW II by Lowepro, compact camera shoulder bag for mirrorless and small DSLRs

The Lowepro Nova 160 AW II is a compact camera shoulder bag designed for mirrorless cameras and small DSLRs. The main padded compartment accepts a camera body with a standard zoom lens attached and provides configurable dividers to protect the camera and organise a small selection of accessories. Front pockets store memory cards, batteries and cables for easy access. An all-weather (AW) cover offers additional protection from rain and dust while shooting outdoors. The bag’s compact dimensions and shoulder strap make it suitable for everyday photography, travel and city outings where quick access and lightweight carry are priorities.

Advantages

The padded main compartment with configurable dividers keeps camera gear secure and allows flexible organisation of one camera and a lens. Front storage pockets and internal pockets provide immediate access to essential accessories such as spare batteries, memory cards and cables. The all-weather cover protects the exterior against rain and dust without adding significant bulk. A comfortable shoulder strap enables convenient carrying during short photo walks and daily use.

• Mirrorless cameras with a standard zoom lens

How to use

Place the camera with attached lens into the padded main compartment and adjust the internal dividers to create a snug fit that prevents movement.

Adjust the shoulder strap length for a comfortable carry position that allows quick access to the main compartment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal protection, secure fragile accessories in padded pouches inside the main compartment and avoid overloading the bag beyond its intended capacity. Regularly wipe the exterior and the AW cover to remove dirt and allow the water-repellent materials to function effectively.
