This may sound like a bit of a silly question but what do the photographers who ride mountain bikes use as their camera bag?
My proper camera rucksack weighs an absolute tun! but I really want to take my SLR on rides with me but also want it protected in a nice bag but really clueless whats a comfy, not too heavy, but offers protection to a camera rucksack to ride with.
Any ideas out there?
Normally a small holster bag with my 7D + lens inside, then inside a Camelbak Havoc. Done that for years and years and it's been fine, crashed loads of times on a 350D, 30D, and the 7D. Nothing has ever happened to them.
That said my new lens (17-55 2.8) doesn't fit in my old holster (which was a tight fit anyway), so i've just brought a Crumpler Bannnana Hammock (?!) which will hopefully do the trick. Yet to try it yet as it's been delivered to the 'rents house.
DSLRs are surprisingly robust.
I have a crumpler half photo bag for days out skiing and cycling. A bit bulky but plenty of padding, and space for lots of cake too!
Ha ha 204 quid - now I *love* spending money on ever more specialised bags, but seriously!
I think it will be a holster inside a camelback like Ewan has suggested then. £204 is a bit way too over the top for me at the mo. I love my D700 but it has enough bags to live in as it is.
I do find proper camera bags just so awkward to cycle with as well tend to be way too bulky and big.
Can I ask what holster you use?
Thanks
DaKine do a nice camera bag for skiing/snowboarding which would work just fine for mountain biking too. All separate (padded) divisions inside for bodies, lenses, etc.
SF Barnes has a bag on the front of his chest - makes sense when you take hundreds of photos per ride
