What DSLR camera mtbing backpacks are out there that you use and recommend?
Standard sized camera with a standard lens plus a zoom lens as well and maybe a go products and bits.
Cheers
I've used a lowepro photo sport 200aw a lot when guiding. Super comfy and great access for camera. There is a pro (30L) version with a removable camera pod which looks even better, and also a new photo sport 200II which looks good.
Tip: I found that when biking, taking the aluminium rod out of the back allows the pack to hug your back better and it moves around a lot less. For hiking and climbing its better with the rod in.
I've got a Lowepro but I wish I bought a Dakine Sequence.
I also like the look of the Shadow X Greenfilms but it's a bit more urban, skate, bmx style.
I have DaKine Reload for 2 DSLRs, 3 flashes and a lot of lenses. If I can cut it down to just one big zoom and one flash and three lenses I use a Lowepro Reflex.
The DaKine is 'better' in terms of ancillary storage but leads to me taking too much stuff.
The Lowepro is a fine bag but is weird as the access is in the part of the bag that goes against your back. Also no storm cover. Not a problem really as the zips are against your back.
I'll fire off a pic if you want.
Thanks all, I'm liking the look of the Lowepro photo sport 200II
but are there any more out there?
John - take a look at the Evoc Photo Scout. I've binned myself at full speed with two bodies and several lenses and they've been fine. Bag and owner had a hole, but the cameras we're fine 🙂
Best by a country mile - Google Mindshift Gear 180
WHY SO MANY CHOICES.......?
thanks all
I got my 200AW from China via eBay for under £40.
Couldn't tell the difference
I was looking at a mindshift 180 like the idea.

Thanks for this one, found a supply for it from in the UK (just a bit more that £40) but with free postage and another bit of kit I need.
