Ok bag gurus, I have a crazy Urban Disguise 60 V2.0 that holds a ton of gear, but it's miserably uncomfortable. I'm looking for something that can hold the same amount of gear but in a backpack/roller case. Currently this is what I have packed:

2x Canon 5d ii with battery grip
24-105mm
50mm
35mm
2x speedlights
13" Macbook Air
Various chargers/cables/accessories

Any recommendations?

He means sliding one strap off his shoulder and getting the camera out without setting the bag down, in which case I don't think that bag would do it very well/safely.

A long lens and a speedlite in the bag.

Do you live in the bathroom from Saw? Brush your hair at least.

I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to spend the $30 round trip train tickets into Manhattan and try the bags in person at B&H. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be any shops in New Jersey that carry these bags in their stores.


It's probably a long shot, but my local Wal-mart actually has those bags in their camera department.

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.

Chrome bags are fantastic. Top notch build quality and comfort. That said, I'd wait for one of their frequent sales and get it for 50% off.

Did anyone here get the Peak Design Everyday Backpack? I have 13" messenger from them and it's great but limited in what it can carry, so I'm interested in how the backpacks hold a lot of gear + other stuff. I'm skeptical of the vertical divider system.

Am I reading right that that's the 1550 size?

Honestly the best solution I've found for one bag travel + camera gear is a $20 camera insert from Amazon. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Just put it on top of a layer of rolled clothing to give it extra padding and you should be good to go.

I'm selling some bags over in the gear thread. Have a Peak Design Everyday Messenger 13. Incase DSLR Pro, and Think Tank Urban Disguise 60 v2 all for sale. Moved to a pelican case setup and just need to clean out the closet, all in great or new condition.
