RustedChrome posted:A friend of mine put a ring through one of the neck straps on his d200 and connected it there. It works fine for him. I use it on the tripod mount on my 5D2 even when I use the battery grip and shoot in portrait mode. It doesn't bother me that much. I did pretty much the same with my D200, small carabiner through the left shoulder strap, slide the straps onto that, works like a charm. just to add my two cents to the thread topic: the Lowepro Fastpack 250 is a great bag. Camera + lens and 3 lenses and filters in the bottom, 2 speedlights, modifiers and a light meter in the top, it works very well for my purposes. It has a kind of limited quick-access function on it, and can carry a tripod in a pinch. Just a great, versatile bag overall. Also, i made the mistake of putting camera armor on my old d40. speaking from this experience, i think camera armor is a waste. the buttons became mushy and imprecise with the extra rubber padding. as the average amateur, it's probably a waste; perhaps a serious adventurer pro could find value in camera armor. if i had to do it again, i would skip camera armor.

So, I now have 2 Elinchrom Quadra packs with 3 batteries, 2 A heads and a ringflash. I've seen recommendations for the Think Tank Airport, but that guy also has the much smaller lithium batteries, while I have the bulky Lead Gel ones. I have the hard case that fits a pack and two batteries and heads, but I kinda want to get rid of it and have all my lighting in one bag. Does anyone with a similar kit or bag have any recommendations?

Does anyone have an opinion on the Chrome Niko Backpack? I'm switching to mirrorless full time, and i think can get away with a smaller pack. This also has the advantage of fitting a laptop and strapping a tripod to it, solving a bunch of other problems. It would be 2 xt2 bodies, 16-55 2.8, 50-140 2.8, plus batteries, meters, and some other stuff like a cleaning kit. I *think* it'll all fit, but it looks like it might be a bit cramped.
