I am now the owner of a Vivitar 285HV and some Cactus V4 wireless triggers alongside my usual 400D and 2 lenses. The main use of my camera is MTB photography and up unti now I've carried the camera on the front of my Camelbak in a pouch for quick access. This has several disadvantages - Mainly it's a right faff to get my Camelbak off and there is nowhere else to keep the strobe other than in said Camelback.
I need to zoom off ahead down a trail, whip my equipment out (Fnarr-fnaar!), and be ready to shoot very quickly. And it's gonna pee me off very quickly with my current set up.
So I was thinking of getting either a LowePro FastPak 200 or Primus AW which will be a lot better for the camera access and still have space for spare tubes and cake. Also, if it's easier to use, I'll be more likey to take the camera with me in the first place because I ofen don't bother now.
Has anybody got any experience of these packs for MTB use? (From the pics it looks like I might even get a bladder in the Primus with a bit of persuasion, too)
Or anything else similar from another manufacturer?
Cheers!
