SLR has been out many times on the bike and also when skiing. I just shove it in a Camelbak HAWG NV, with other stuff, spare lens even sometimes and a bit of stuff to pad between things but don’t bother with loads of padding as the bag is fairly padded anyway.
Fine, and have taken a number of tumbles with it too. The camera is old (Nikon D70) and taken beating over the years but only a bit chipped off the flash cover in all that time.
However it’s come out a lot less because yes, the phone takes cracking shots too.
Sure, it can’t match the lenses for zoom, clarity and depth of field, so I miss the SLR for that, but the vast majority of shots I’ll take riding are just a bit of scenery these days and arty static shot of the bike somewhere scenic.
I used to try to take action shots and all that but then it’s way too much faff setting it all up and myself and friends are too impatient for that. Can’t be stopping frequently on rides and faffing about setting up shots, sessioning to get the best one etc. Just want to ride.
Did have a compact zoom which was okay but it got bashed up far worse than the SLR.
