Hi guys I thought I would post this to see how many people would prefer this option
When I we go outwith are cameras and tripods we normally have a camera a couple oflenses and tripod that attaches to the bag or backpack
Why hasn’t any bagcompany’s put a hidden department on the outside of the bag and whydon’t they have a long say 19inch compartment inside the camera bag
The reason I say this is when I have me gear with me I don’t want the bag looking like a camera bag and I also don’t want a tripod sticking out theside of it
I have a bag thathas a tripod compartment at the bottom but its bad on my shoulder
Its the only bag that has a tripod hidden holder this is the bag I have
VEO GO 34M KG Shoulder Bag For Mirrorless
The problem with itis shoulder ache and no proper carrying handle
The culture we live in at the moment of robbery and physical abuse and I am surprised the camera bag makers haven’t seen this gap in the market
Ive decided on the
MindShift Gear BackLight 26L - Charcoal InteriorDimensions:
10.2” W x 19.3” H x 5.9” D (26 x49 x 15 cm)
Exterior Dimensions:
11.4” Wx 20.3” H x 7.9” D (29 x 51.5 x 20 cm)
Laptop:
10”W x 15.3” H x 1”D (25.5 x 38.8 x 2.5 cm)
Tablet:
9.3”W x 10.2” H x 0.6” D (23.5 x 26 x 1.5 cm)
Weight:
3.9lb(1.8kg)
Volume:
26 Liters
It will be good asto me it looks like a hiking bag and the interior dimensions is 19.3inch so my tripod legs will fit in nicely OK I wont be able to fitthe head with the legs attached but that can just go into one of the spare apartments in the bag
The other thing I could do is have the legs on the side of the bag wear the water goes and cover it with a rain cover but even that I think people will see that it is a tripod
One day out in the forest to men wear following me and this was for a long time I newthey were going to try and rob me so when I got the chance I went adifferent direction and managed to loose them im 6 foot 3 and havedone a lot of martial arts in my time but what is the point of me being put in this situation
Much worse forsomeone a bit older
I was carrying a bag and tripod in the other hand
OK in some country scounty’s etc. this may not be the case but look at the world we are living in
A friend of mine hasa gfx 100 which cost him £10,000 pounds plus 4 lenses so nearly£17,000 pounds he actually got assaulted but he is a very big guy and was OK
I am sure there will be people who say well just get insured but this doesn’t take away the fear of someone robbing or attacking you
So the closest to what I want is the bag above I wish the manufactures would produce a bag that allows full tripod support internally
Sorry about ramblingon but is just does surprise me
