I found this one on the local Craigslist. It looks brand new and even has new foam. They are so tough you do not even have to box them to ship them. Just slap a label on it and drop it in the mail.

I need a good camera bag for 2 DSLR's, 2 lenses, speedlite, tripod and a few other speed lite accessories and my batteries, ND filters, cards etc. I want one that is not going to break the bank. So not more than about $100-$150 if it is possible. I don't care about name brands, I just want a bag to handle it all. I will be carrying it on a flight in the overhead bin, so it can't be any bigger than carry-on size. Any suggestions will be so much appreciated!


MindShift products. Wide variety of sizes and prices. Took ALL my gear to Hawaii in a 25L ($250). Packed my tripod in my checked bag for the flights. Comfortable backpack design and well padded. Fit in overhead bins.

Don't buy anything until you check out the Pelican 1510 rolling case. They fit in the overhead, great wheels and solid handle, and you can chain it to back of your truck and just drag it where you are going! They are indestructible, and with the padded dividers, very secure for anything you put in there, and they can take a TSA lock, too. Not cheap, but neither is your equipment.

They remind me of a motorcycle helmet add from years ago: "Got a $10 head? Buy a $10 helmet!"

Sometimes you can find a deal on eBay or Craig's.

Thanks, I will look at that one. I do like the idea of rollers. Appreciate the feedback!

you can't beat lowepro bags, just check their site for a back that will fit your gear. do you need a backpack? I have a lower roller (fits in the overhead easy, carries 2 bodies, 16 to 35, 24 to 120 and a 70 to 200 all f4 lenses, a speed light and last workshop I had my LCD projector in it too. along with a 16mm fish eye. batteries, tools, memory cards and so on. but I also pack lowers sling bag I think its a 70, thats the bag I use at my destination. When teaching workshops I also use a big pockets vest

I am definitely looking into this bag, so many have suggested it! And yes I'd prefer a roller. I have a backpack that has all kinds of storage compartments, and it is good for one camera, my 70-200 lens and 25-105 lens, speed lite, and accessories, oh and tripod on the side. But any more than that and it is over filled and very heavy. So I am shopping for a roller for when I travel escoecially. Would love for it to be big enough for my tablet or laptop as well. Thanks for all the information!

I seriously doubt you can go wrong with LowePro. They are not the only good bag out there, but as you can see it has a tried and true reputation. My Hasselblad and Canon proved it to me. Now it is time to give my Olympus system with two new lenses a treat.
