Thanks but they look a little bit big (12 l) and heavy, 562 g for minimum and I can't see how they can be attached to other backpacks than Aarn brand. No pictures of the back.Kanga said:Photo balance pockets - http://www.aarnusa.com/lp_photopockets.htm
BeatriceKarjalainen said:The problem is where do I put the rest, the other lens, SD-cards, EVF, batteries? In side pocket or front pocket on hip belt? How to remember to move those inside the pack as well during bad weather. And how about when I want to leave the backpack and just bring the camera.

Why do you need a second backpack?
KinkyOne said:Hi, Beatrice,
I also took my camera (an old Canon 300D) along, with slower optics: 18-55mm/1:3,5 and 90-300mm/1:4,5, but were sufficient. I was using Lowepro Off Trail 2 (http://naturography.com/lowepro-off-tra ... ck-review/) which is topload & beltpack combo with very important belt added which you put around your neck so the weight is evenly deployed between waist and neck.
Thanks for the manufactures but I have checked them all and they only have backpacks, lumbar packs, slings and hip bagsKitsambler said:Case Logic, MountainSmith, and LowePro look to be your manufacturers of choice. You could check out the full ranges on their own sites, or perhaps get a price reduction at http://www.ebags.com
Thanks but as I stated in my question I don't want to carry anyting on my hip/waist except for my backpack (and small money wallet under the clothes).jirit said:I carried my heavy Nikon D70 along with a 18-135 zoom lens, in a simple waist pack on my second camino and while I walked the via Francigena in Italy. Obviously not the most ideal bag to carry a camera.

I don't need a second backpack. I need something to carry my camera in. Sometimes I might put my packpack in a storage in a bigger town or in a hotel room if I stay at a hotel now and there. Then I need to be able to bring just the camera and lenses with me.

Looks interesting but i think my boobs might be a problem. For a flat chested person it will hang straight down but i have a G-cup in front of me. I might be able to keep the camera closer to my body by the sternun strap but then I have to lower it to cross my boobs instead of above them and that is quite uncomfortable :-/BrianForbesColgate said:I use these Reporter/Backpack straps with my pack ... they snap onto the shoulder straps and stay put ...

When I don't have my pack on, I use this Bino/Cam Harness™ ...

The snap clips at the camera end work with all of their straps so it is easy to snap the camera off one harness and hook it onto the other one.
If the weather forecast calls for rain, slip on a Rainsleeve ™ and you can still grab a shot at any time ...

Your spare lens and bits can go into the pockets on your backpack's waist strap. I carry a light photography vest for when my pack is off, then the extra lens and bits go into its pockets.

¡Buen Camino! :arrow:
The harness is s little to big when I just have a T-shirt on, I can't tighten it enough around my waist. And the smaller bags have almost the same harness I guess it is the same size but the use large hooks next to the bag and I think they will chafe. The clik cases are great when I wear a jacket or a fleece.muzzal said:Hi
It seems that you are happy with your Clik Elite bag except that it is too big and heavy; so why don't you buy a smaller Clik bag that will attach to the same harness, or do you need to buy a complete bag/harness?
