Hey guys, I'm looking for a camera bag/backpack/wheeled case, preferably less than $200. right now my equipment includes a Canon 7D, Sigma 18-35 1.8; Canon 24-70 2.8II; Canon 70-200 2.8II, Canon 2X TCIII, and a lot of misc. Also looking to get Tamron 150-600. Besides a suitcase is there anything out there to carry, haul it all? Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. Would like a bag/case to hold it all so it is in one place. That way I can take what just I am going to need for an outing and put in a smaller, lighter, more manageable bag.

Yes, high end camera bags under $200. That should narrow the field down a lot! :lol:

But seriously, there are lots of options out there. Check B&H and Adorama. I like bags that do not have a well know camera bag label, since I think they scream "steal me" My current bag looks like a soft brief case or lawyers bag and has a side pocket the unzips a t the bottom to slip over the handle of my carry-on. It is by Epiphanie. It has no visible label.

I have decided that any pre manufactured camera bag is a compromise and am going to get a carry on airline size roller. Then layer in foam padding with a 1/4" divider, with a lift out handle to access lower section while not disturbing upper. I am going to keep ball heads and gimbal in lower section, any other hard ware ect. Upper section will be dedicated to body and lenses with custom cut foam recesses for protection. Just waiting on my 150-600 to arrive before beginning this little project.

Can't remember where I saw it, but someone makes padded inserts to do just that.

I'm looking for a camera bag decorated with prancing lambs or bears sleeping on the moon. Who steals a diaper bag? :)

A good idea! Does it come with all the accessories to pull off the deception? You know, like a baby? :lol:

I recently purchased an Amazon Basics Back Pack for my gear. It is currently sitting on the dining room table, and holds the following:

Canon EOS Rebel T3i with Sigma 18-250mm attached
Canon EOS 6D with EF 24-105 f/4L attached
Canon EF 50mm f/1.5
Canon EF-S 18-55
Canon EF 75-300
Canon Speedlite 320EX
Spare batteries and SD cards for both cameras, filter kits for multiple lenses, cleaning cloths, etc...

This backpack cost me $30.

I just picked up a LowePro bag on eBay. Paste this item # into an eBay search window, then look at the bags the seller lists.

Once you have some idea of what you might like, you can look at the bags on Youtube to see how they configure, how much they hold, etc.

You might want to take a look at these inserts. Fstop calls them ICUs and are designed for their bags, but might have something you can use.
