    Camera Backpack Recommendations

    I've got quite a few 5.11 bags myself - I used the Rush 72 when I was travelling through Germany and had my camera gear in an insert. Since then, I've come to appreciate bags with inserts designed for them - it just fits better and doesn't move around. The Mountain Smith Tanucklite looks pretty...

    Yeah I had a look at the Travel Dufflepack but it just looks way too big - trying to keep everything to a minimum. I'm an extremely light traveller so no worries about carrying waste.

    I've got the Everyday Backpack - yes, lots of pockets (especially in the side flaps). It's surprising how much you can pack into the bag. But definitely not big enough for this trip. Agree - PD should sponsor Camino walks! Definitely would a great test of their gear!

    I'm definitely leaning towards the PD Travel Backpack - I'm pretty happy with all their other products. Good to know that the backpack was comfortable for you.

    Camera Backpack Recommendations

    Yes, the perfect bag is certainly elusive - I think I've bought over 50 camera bags now. They all have wonderful features but none are perfect. My current list of equipment (including hdds, chargers, tripod, etc) totals to 6.810 kg - I've really gone for lightweight equipment. Yes, I have...

    Camera Backpack Recommendations

    That's why I'm here - I'm hoping some other photographers might be on here and could share their pack solutions. The Peak Design Travel Back Pack, gives both quick side access and rear panel access. The F-Stop gives back panel access but I sometimes put an extra lens or body (with lens) in the...

    Camera Backpack Recommendations

    I've stripped down to what I think is the bare essentials (for my photography - the purpose of this trip). I have been packing a heavy backpack to work every Friday (and getting some strange looks at work) and I admit, it's a little heavy but I'm hoping in the year I have to train, I'll be ready.

    Camera Backpack Recommendations

    I've given myself a bit over 40 days. I've done quite a few trips but never one this long. I've done a pilgrimage from Germany to Rome (had a car most of the time but there was a fair bit of hiking in Germany) and I learnt my lesson about carrying essential gear (I had 2 x 5D bodies, 24-70...

    Camera Backpack Recommendations

    Had to google it - crazy but amazing. I think it would be great for some trips but having looked at the Camino el Norte route, I don't think a trolley would work on some of the trails.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I've used Pacsafe gear before and I like their bags but the idea of carrying a second bag isn't appealing. Will keep it in mind though.

    Camera Backpack Recommendations

    I like the idea of balancing the weight but it (a) it looks like it will add considerable girth, making maneuverability in crowds an issue; (b) it doesn't look it has any padding or organisation for lenses.

    Camera Backpack Recommendations

    Hello everyone! I plan on walking the Camino del Norte route next year but as a photographer I'm hoping to capture the journey through photos and videos. So apart from all the usual items (clothes, toiletries, etc), I'll be packing my camera gear and I'm looking for camera backpack to carry it...
