I use soft, but absorbent Frank brand household sponges, packed tightly around equipment in the Domke inserts in my Domke F2 bags. I've used the Frank sponges for many year...used them previously in my LowePro bags and other brand bags. Sometimes I cut them in half, mostly I leave them as is....they're fast and effective to use. My equipment doesn't move around in the bags, with these support sponges.

I posted this in another Pentax forum thread awhile ago. It fits this inquiry as well. I stopped using LowePro bags as my regular bags...too many plastic clips breaking....if I recall correctly, 2 out of my 5 LowePro bags ended up with breaking plastic clips. I did repair one...got a luggage repair company to replace with a heavier duty clip, but I'm thinking at $ 20 a pop for repairs I'm not sure I will continue this practice. LowePro need to use much stronger, durable clips. Interesting to see that it's not just me that has had problems with breaking LowePro clips.
"I now use mostly just Domke F2 Original bags for my equipment. I tried a backpack....but but had a couple instances where equipment fell out. Partially my fault as I like to leave bags open in the car for quick retrieval of equipment. But when I needed to grab the backpack fast...it didn't work for me, as does a top opener, traditional bag. The backpacks just seem to have covers that open far too wide for me.
But that's me. So far the Domke F2's are working very well...tough connectors, excellent straps, heavy duty canvas...durable, reliable, well designed. After almost 50 years of trying camera containers ranging from aluminum suitcase types..to hard case...to backpacks...the F-2's are my favourite. "
