Not sure if anyone is also looking for this kind of bag, but I wanted something that was waterproof (for kayaking) and also ok to take along hiking. I found the Lowepro Dryzone, and I'd recommend the same to anyone else who's after similar features.  There are two linings in this bag, one made from what feels like a rubber material that is sealed with a waterproof zipper system. I'm pretty sure this would safely protect your gear from rain and/or a dunk in the lake. It also has a monopod/tripod holder on the back which I found strangely lacking from a lot of "hiking" packs. The downside is the thing weights a fair bit. I wore it, full of gear, for a full day though and didn't have any issues.

After a couple days of walking, I discovered that if I continue to use my Timbuk2 messenger bag, my spine will collapse into a ruined heap. I'm using the 32L and just bought a second for my wife because they are awesome for hiking. I put in a 3L water bladder and about 10 pounds of gear and it takes the weight really well.

EL BROMANCE posted:I was considering the Cotton Carrier one, but not sure the one listed on Amazon for a cheap price has everything you need to attach it to the camera (this one which has an Arca Swiss plate instead of the 'camera hub' one which sells for more than 2x the amount. I don't have a proper tripod yet mind). Is this fine, or do I need the more expensive one? I bought the strapshot kit: http://buy.cottoncarrier.com/cotton-carrier-strapshot-p/233ev1.htm This comes with the hand strap as well, but also has an attachment for my backpack so that I can hang the camera on the strap as well. I wish I had a picture of this because it's not easy to describe.

EL BROMANCE posted:Out of curiosity, what camera do you own? The strap came this morning and I've spent some time trying to get it setup to suit me best but it's taken some time. In the end I've mounted it so the part that meets the bottom of the camera is angled forwards a bit, and then I adjust my hand in the strap (made as tight as possible and not used the keychain bit they provided) differently for carrying and shooting. I find when I've got thumb on back button and index on shutter, I instinctively rest the camera slightly in the area just below my pinkie and it was hard to shift my hand like this in any other setup as the strap would get in the way. I'm intrigued as to how different this would be on a full frame or camera with a battery grip setup, as my Nikon D7200 is a DX camera that's pretty small. Dread Head posted:Do you swiss arca plates? How do these work with those? I have a friend who loves his but does not really use a tripod where I use a tripod a lot. It's a swiss arca plate with the carrier attachment in-one.

Ryand-Smith posted:Hey all. I'm planning a flight to Canada, and I just realized, my Amazon Basics bag (love it, its traveled across the eastern seaboard and across mountains), may not be able to travel with me as a carry on bag. Any suggestions for a good carry on bag that can fit 2 DSLRs, 2 flashes, and support equipment (chargers, batteries, et all) My wife and I have travelled all over the world (lots of Canada->US included) with two bags much bigger (14.2 x 9.1 x 20.9) dimensions without ever having to check our bags. [edit] quote:Air Canada is a bunch of assholes about carry on weight though. I don't think I would try to haul that much on that carrier. Most U.S. carriers don't check or care about my 40-50lb camera bag. InternetJunky fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Mar 8, 2016 |
