Honestly, in my experiences from South America to sketchy big city North American neighbourhoods to weird communities up north, this has proven true more often than not. Consider convenient ways to carry your stuff, first and foremost. You should probably have your camera out and ready to shoot and in that case everyone knows you have pricey camera poo poo.

For anything else it's Think Tank Retrospectives (or Urban Disguises if I'm moving through airports). Edit: I should say, that I only use the ICU and regular backpack combo when I'm doing something like backcountry skiing or mountain biking or hiking or whatever. In these cases, carrying essential stuff is more important than comfortably carrying my camera nonsense. I've tried a couple "adventure" oriented bags (but not F-Stop because I can't seem to buy one) and they've all fallen short either in the camera-carry department or the backpack department.

Aquatic Giraffe posted:Suggestions for a small backpack that doesn't scream I HAVE A CAMERA PLEASE MUG ME? Further up the page, I gave a rough look at the F-Stop Brooklyn Sling which I think is pretty neat. It doesn't flap around if you use the second strap designed to prevent exactly that. I'm using a mirrorless kit with primes only and even if I put every bit of kit I own that goes with it, the total weight would be crap-all. DSLR + extras is something I'd prefer to put in a backpack to better distribute the weight. You might be different. I'll echo Rot in saying F-Stop ICUs are worth a look. You can use them in other bags, but the F-Stop bags designed with the ICUs put them to use in the best way. I'm surprised more companies haven't copied their ideas outright. Their bags don't say much about what's inside them and they accommodate both camera gear and other things (including water bladders) while keeping them separate. The camera gear is accessed via a zip that goes against your back when worn (recessed so it won't irritate), which offers multiple advantages: no sneaky theft when the bag is on your back; if you put the bag down to access your stuff, you won't be dirtying the part that will go against your back; and you can access your gear without completely taking the pack off if you leave just the waist strap on and swivel the pack around—hard to explain, but best shown via some image I found online of this being done with the Loka.  How much other stuff you want to take with you will dictate the most suitable sized backpack. If you're just getting around town, the Guru (was just recently revised, with some minor but very welcome changes) and a small ICU is excellent. The Loka and above can carry a lot of stuff, which may be too much or just right, depending on where your hikes take you. I own and have used both and they're both great. The Smoky Mountain in the Millar Series looks great also. I do prefer backpacks with waist straps to transfer the weight onto the hips instead of the back. If you're not carrying much, it might be a neat alternative at a reasonable cost. There isn't as much security or utility, but it definitely doesn't draw attention to itself and I kinda like how the bag partition operates. Once again, I'm sorry if I sound like a shill for F-Stop. They're the only camera bag company I've come across where it seems they actually use the bags they make. I've tried alternatives from Lowepro, Crumpler, and Think Tank and only the latter makes a bag I like in the Retrospective series.

Cool, the Loka looks fun. I got an Osprey 48L top loading and it's more of a camping backpack but it does have an awesome water bladder pouch. I might spring for a Loka and get an ICU. It beats all my other carry on, or my Osprey 60L. But any tripod holders for F-stop bags? If I can strap a tripod on, it would be perfect. I got to mostly hot humid tropical places, so most of my weight is in camera gear and souvenirs (food).

I've tried alternatives from Lowepro, Crumpler, and Think Tank and only the latter makes a bag I like in the Retrospective series. I'm right there with you, brother. After going through a few backpacks meant for skiing/biking/hiking, I've never had an F-Stop bag. Twice now my Paypal payment has timed-out (30 days, I think?) because they were back-ordered. I love Think Tank for general use, but I'm constantly searching for the right bag for backcountry ski/bike/hike nonsense. My posts here and on flickr don't reflect it but I absolutely need something that can carry camera things and the essential backcountry stuff. Since I drink a lot of beer and sit in front of a computer too much, I'm fat and slow and yet I'm also the Photographer on our stupid trips. This means I'm constantly searching for the right pack to carry the essentials (WATER, plus avalanche gear and extra layers plus emergency stuff in the winter or basically the same stuff in the summer) and my camera crap. And I need it to be comfortable and easy to carry. The closest I've came so far is the Clik-Elite Contrejour 35 (http://clikelite.com/product/backpacks/new-2014-contrejour-35/). It served me well enough I suppose but 3 weeks in Peru/Bolivia did it in and was a kind of lovely pack for skiing. The zippers are now destroyed, it couldn't easily hold shovel/probe/saw for avi work, and it was heavy. It had pretty good access to the camera but frankly sacrificed it's "backpackness" for camera duties imo. I need it ALL, damnit!!

I think the solution if you are a film shooter is a tactical vest. You strap on those shotgun shell carriers, and then you load your 120 film into those, you use a medium sized pouches to keep your lenses, and you can even slide the tripod feet on your lens into the webbing.

Going by their website, it seems like the Loka is available in Black and the Tilopa BC is available in all colours. That's in the US, whereas only the Tilopa BC is showing as in stock in Europe. I understand that they use these two different warehouses for different parts of the world, I think Europe handles Europe/UK and US handles the rest of the world. Whereabouts are you located? I'm in Australia and haven't really had any issues getting stock from them. My first interaction with them was a nightmare (some of which was my fault), but they were champions about it and really went the extra mile to rectify the problem. International calls can be a pain depending on where you live, but it might be worth the effort; they're super helpful.

I'm in Canada, and I deal with the US warehouse. Honestly, I haven't tried super hard to get a bag. And they're expensive enough that I can't just jump at buying one whenever (especially now that the CDN$ is in the shitter). What's happened, twice last year, was that I see the bag + ICU in stock and I place my order through Paypal. Then I get an email saying that they're sorry, the bag is actually backordered but if I wait they'll get one to me. 30 days later, the pending Paypal transaction expires and I get another email asking if I want to try again. But by this time I've already figured out something else. Come to think about it there was a third time that didn't work out but that was due to some error in their online store so I can't hold that against them. Since then, I've bought a couple ICUs from them with no trouble. F-Stop makes a great product and they're very easy to deal with. The next time I decide to try another photo-specific outdoorsy pack, they will be what I buy.

I have had a Tilopa BC with large ICU since 2010 and it has been really solid. Compared to a proper hiking bag they are not as good but for a camera bag they are pretty good. Having the access on your back has pros and cons but all bags will. Given that it is about 5 years old at this point it is in remarkably good shape since it has been out in less than ideal conditions on 3 continents now. I did initially have troubles getting the bag due to stock issues (actually was going to order the larger bag but ended up with the Tilopa BC as it was in stock), I am happy with it for the most part. I just lent it to a co-worker to check out for a day or 2 as he is looking to order one. If anyone has any specific questions about it let me know.

So we'll have climate in common and you'll understand when I ask: how's the weather proofing/resistance? You said that the Tilopa isn't as good as a dedicated hiking bag, can you sorta of quantify that in terms of price point? IE - is it as good as say, a mid-range MEC bag? Falls just short of of more boutique brands like Mystery Ranch or Arc'teryx? Personally I consider brands like Dakine as the lowest end I'd consider for outdoorsy poo poo, where Osprey and The North Face occupy a middle ground. Do you ski or snowboard? If ski, how's the carry system? How does the material handle edges of skis/snowboards and tools? Internet Friend (followed on FB, read his websites....never met the guy in person) Dan Carr, who's a pro snowsports photographer, once wrote some pretty glowing reviews of the bags, but I'm always suspicious of that sorta pro-endorsed poo poo. He's now endorsing those Mind-Shift bags which look kinda goofy and seriously heavy.

Rot posted:Ok, I'm going to bombard you with questions: Re hiking bag: compared to my osprey and arc'terex packs it is not as good if you just compare them directly as backpacks for hiking. A few reasons I think, fit is not perfect for me, opening on your back probably does not help, also since it is made to carry camera gear you are tempted to carry lots of gear. Hard to say what it would compare to as I think pack fit/comfort is kind of a personal thing. Compared to lowepro camera bags I had before it is much better. For hiking I find there is not much room in it for other gear due to size of ICU I use. Other problem in this regards is if you use a hydration bladder it is at the very back of your pack (furthest from your back) as in the last place you want more weight. Weather proofing seems reasonable, if it is raining I will put on a rain cover, I would say it is close to an arc'trex bag but not as good. The nice thing is with the rain cover on you can still access the main camera area just fine which is super handy. The zippers all have rain flaps or are "weather proof" ones. I do ski, only just got a back country setup this season and with our conditions I have not had a chance to really get out. I bought a cheap MEC ski bag that I am planning on using at this point, mostly due to the ICU I currently have I guess? A lot of the time when I am out hiking etc I use a chest mounted bag so I have quick access to my camera. I know the guys who started f-stop are really into skiing/snowboarding so I would imagine they are decent, my bag has specific things to carry skis/ice axes etc. I can try throwing my skis on to see how it works, seems like it would be better than my dedicated ski bag from MEC when it comes to carrying skis. It seems pretty light with nothing in it, I just lent it to a co-worker so I removed all my gear and was surprised at the weight (in a good way). Given that it is nearly 5 years old now it has some wear but still in what I would consider good condition I have used it a lot and never have babied it really. I have considered getting a smaller ICU so it would be better for hiking or skiing etc but I just end up using a proper hiking backpack that I may throw a lens in and then the camera on my chest. Let me know if you have any other questions, I can take some pictures at some point if you want. Dread Head fucked around with this message at 09:31 on Feb 12, 2015 |

There's going to be some compromises made between Carries Camera Stuff and Carrie Outdoorsy Stuff and nothing comes as a surprise. Good to know that at least the basics are done properly. I had one of the new Lowepro "adventure" series bags and while it was alright, especially for the price-point, it just wasn't quite up to what I was asking of it. I think I sold it to a Dorkroomer...hope he's liking it. I think pretty soon I'm going to spring for a Loka or Loka UL with one of the medium-small ICUs. When/If I do I'll try to post a full review here.

How suitable is a Think Tank Urban Disguise 60 v2 for hiking if you add the shoulder harness and treat it as a backpack? I really want to be able to just flip open the top of the bag and pull out one of two cameras with a mounted lens (5D mk3 with 24-105, 40D/whatever mid size body will replace it when it dies with 100mm macro, possibly a loose 70-200/2.8) and be able to put in a laptop and some paperwork for when I'm not out hiking but still carry camera stuff. I currently have a Fastpack 350 and I end up putting food in the camera compartment in the bottom and the camera in the top compartment so I can lift it out more easily. e: in any case, it's also important to have at least a small compartment left for extra stuff since I'll need to stuff it full of tubes for sampling sometimes. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Feb 24, 2015 |

Ah, I'm sorry I should have been more clear. I have a camera bag, with a bag inside of it (so there is a backpack, with a small container INSIDE the backpack, think a purselike/lunchbox like container which fits my DSLR, with the extended battery), but I have 2 lenses (well soon to be 3, I have a f/1.8 50mm, a 17-50mm, and a 70-300mm on the way), that I do not want well, moving in the backpack) I uploaded an image from the phone to show what it looks like, you can see the pockets , the DSLR in the actual camera bag, but the space above it is where I would put the lenses.

Aaahhh OK. There are various bag inserts you can get that are normally for regular bags/backpacks that should be on the smaller end to hold just a couple lenses. Basically you're just buying the padding instead of the entire bag. Here's an example

I've been using a Lowepro Flipside 400 AW for longer trips and a Lowepro Hatchback 22L as my everyday-bag for a while now and been really satisfied with them. Recently though I bought a 13-inch ultrabook to edit photos during events etc and now I'm looking to replace my current bags with two that I also can fit a small laptop in. Requirements: Rain Cover Tripod-holder Space for a 13 inch laptop (MBA). Extra space for maybe a sweater, notepads, pens etc. Gear in everyday bag: 5D Mk2 (without grip) with attached 100/2.8 and one extra lens (50/24). Gear in larger bag 5D Mk2 + battery grip and attached 70-200, 100/2.8, 24mm + 50mm and filters The Lowepro Pro Runner 450 seems lika a good replacement for my Flipside but I had the smaller version (200) before and didn't find it comfortable at all. Regarding the smaller one I can't really find a good fit. I love the Hatchback , the bag itself is really lightweight and the extra top-compartment is excellent. Any suggestions?

Probably a long shot, but has anyone been able to directly compare the LowePro Photo Sport 200AW to the LowePro Photo Pro 30L? I just sold my Tamrac Expedition 8x and need to replace it. The 8x was a great bag, but was too camera oriented and freaking huge. I have downsized to 3 lenses, 35mm, 10-20mm, and a 16-300mm. Those along with a d90 body with grip and an sb700 will be the max I would carry. This will be used for keeping my gear with me during flights, day hikes, and an overnight hike here and there. I like both bags, but fear the 200AW is a tad small and at the same time fear that the 30L will be massive like the 8x. If anyone has any experience with either, I would love to hear it. I can't find any local shops that have them. REI had the photo sport 100, but that really doesn't give me a good idea what the other two are like.

I'm using a small amount of the available velcro and it's perfect for me. edit: Here's how much velco I have exposed right now

With a bag like the Crumpler 5 Million (which I use with an A7S plus 3 or 4 extra lenses), you can disable the Velcro and still have buckles. For normal carry, my Velcro is completely concealed and the flap is so large, it is never an issue. When traveling, car/plane, I expose a small bit on one side so if the bag turns over, nothing comes out. When the Velcro is covered, I've never had the flap expose the contents at all.
