Product Information

Full details

The Lowepro Pro Tactic CS 60 III Accessory Case is for photographers needing a compact, versatile solution for small gear. Its key benefit is easy access to essentials with high visibility thanks to its orange lining, and it attaches seamlessly to other compatible gear. A potential caveat is its small volume, suitable only for very specific, limited items.

FAQs

What kind of items can I realistically fit inside the CS 60 III?

The CS 60 III has a 1-liter capacity, suitable for small accessories such as spare memory cards, lens caps, small filters (e.g., 49mm or 52mm), a lens cleaning cloth, spare batteries, or small cables.

How is the SlipLock™ system different from a standard MOLLE system?

The SlipLock™ system is a proprietary attachment method by Lowepro that involves a strap that threads through compatible loops and secures back onto itself, creating a reliable connection. It's simpler and often more integrated than standard MOLLE webbing.

Is the recycled fabric as durable as traditional materials?

Yes, Lowepro states that the recycled materials undergo rigorous lab and field testing to ensure they meet the same performance and durability requirements as their non-recycled counterparts.

Can I attach this case to any belt, not just a Lowepro Utility Belt?

Yes, the SlipLock™ system is designed to attach to standard 38mm wide belts, in addition to compatible Lowepro bags and belts.

Is the case weather-resistant?

The case is made from durable Polyester and features YKK zippers. While it offers some protection against light dust and minor splashes, it is not fully waterproof. It's recommended to protect it from heavy rain or submersion.

What is the main difference between the CS 60 III and the CS 120 III?

The CS 60 III is a smaller, more compact version designed for fewer, smaller accessories, while the CS 120 III offers a larger capacity for more gear.

Troubleshooting

Case won't attach securely to my bag.

Ensure you are using a SlipLock™ compatible bag or belt. Follow the specific instructions for threading the strap through the loop and securing it back onto itself. Check that the strap is fully engaged.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to open/close.

Check the zipper track for any obstructions like fabric or dirt. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. You can apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax if needed.

Orange lining is difficult to see.

Ensure adequate lighting is available. The orange lining enhances visibility, but in very dark conditions, external light may still be necessary. Try angling the case towards a light source.

Case feels too small for my needs.

This case is designed for specific small accessories. Consider if your items fit within the 1-liter volume. If you need to carry more, explore larger accessory cases like the Lowepro ProTactic CS 120 III.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and Compatibility:

The Lowepro Pro Tactic CS 60 III is designed for versatile use. It can be used in three primary ways:

  1. Standalone: Carry it on its own as a small pouch.
  2. Inside Another Bag: Place it within a larger backpack or camera bag to organize smaller items.
  3. External Attachment: Utilize the SlipLock™ system to attach it to compatible gear.

SlipLock™ Attachment:

  • The integrated loop on the back of the case slides through compatible loops on bags or belts.
  • Ensure the strap is secured back onto itself to create a firm connection. This system is designed to fit:
  • Lowepro ProTactic III backpacks
  • Lowepro TLZs (Top Loading Zoom bags)
  • Lowepro Utility Belts
  • Standard 38mm wide belts

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To clean the exterior and interior, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric or coating.
  • Zippers: Keep YKK zippers clean and free from dust or debris. A gentle brush or a specific zipper lubricant can help maintain smooth operation.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric and materials.
  • Water Resistance: While the materials are durable, the case is not fully waterproof. Protect it from heavy rain or submersion.
