Hello :)
I'm currently trying to solve a problem you may probably have already encountered during your photographic career and which you already have (hopefully) answered: how to carry your camera and one or two more lenses during rides or hikes?
The main goal (for me) is to find a way to keep my gear within easy reach and beaing able to easily (and quickly) access it. When hiking, the fact is, everything weighs soon and any discomfort, however slight at first, turns quickly in torture after hours of walking.
I already tested several systems which all have advantages and disadvantages, but have not yet found transport method that really suited me and I would like to know your solutions.
I tested the Lowepro Toploader with his harness for wear on the front of the chest.
Advantages :
- Good support and protection unit
- Easy storage and handling
- The device is protected
disadvantages:
- Adds a surcharge to backpack,
- Adds something more to "install",
- Hide descent for when you need to watch where you walk!
I'm currently testing the Peakdesign Capture Pro which allows to clip camera on backpack's shoulder strap.
Advantages :
- Smart design, the device is within easy reach,
- Quick to "unsheathe"
Disadvantages:
- It is not always easy to clip the unit to the support, especially if you can't see the capture Pro,
- The device is not protected in case of fall!
- Moderately easy to adjust according to physiology and type of backpack.
Whatever I'm using, I also combine them with one (or two) Lowepro cases attached to the belt (including the great Lens Exchange Case).
Currently I am considering buying a Mindshift Horizon bag which seems to have a very ingenious design and which is also one of the only photo backpack (to my knowledge) that allows to carry photo gear and personal belongings. Have you ever tried it?
I would very much like to know your solutions?
Edit : I'm usually carrying
- K1 Body
- Pentax 300mm lens
- Pentax 28-105 mm lens
- Sigma 70mm macro
