I shield you because I need charge
Is not because I like you or anything!


Huzzah for this thread. Just today I was in a photo store, saturated with bag specs and pricetags and ready to kick somebody. For a guy with no laptop, one body and a few lenses the Crumpler Keystone is looking drat snazzy (and it can carry really long lenses if desired). I wish it weren't so expensive.

I'm looking into alternatives other than the tripod mount so I can use a tripod with the strap attached.

Depending on your lens, mount the strap-lock to a tripod collar? I think there's a video that shows this being done on the Blackrapid site, but I could be totally wrong.

Also: I ended up buying a Crumpler Keystone for my upcoming trip and I am so far impressed. A little pricey, sure, but I can hold everything I own in it with ease (XSi and grip with 17-50 Tamron attached, longer telephoto, nifty 50, miscellaneous stuff like filters and blowers and charger, etc...), and un-velcro the entire camera pouch to use it as a very capacious daypack that doesn't look awkward. The only thing that really bugs me is the taper of the inside... makes getting the velcro dividers in a bit of a chore, but once you get it how you want it you're in the clear.
