I want a massive camera backpack!!! My Lowepro 400AW is bursting at the seams. It is difficult zipping it up. I am looking for a bag that will accept 2 dslr bodies, a 70-200 zoom...

My Lowepro 400AW is bursting at the seams. It is difficult zipping it up.
I am looking for a bag that will accept 2 dslr bodies, a 70-200 zoom, 24-70, plus 3 other lenses, a flash, tripod, plus maybe a 150-600. ( I am looking into the future of course about equipment).
Any links would be helpful.

You don't need a backpack, you need a Sherpa. :)

When you find one, let me know. I think the shipping would be prohibitive thought.

I have this one and it holds as much as I want to put in it.
And it is very comfortable to wear even with 30 lbs of gear.

It holds my 17-40 f/4, 24-105 f/4, 70-200 2.8 IS, 100-400 IS, 300 2.8 IS, 2 bodies, a 2x TC, 430exII & 580ex speedlites, a 15" laptop and charger, several batteries and other miscellaneous items including an external HD.

You also need a gym membership. ;)

I have a Lowepro AW Trekker I might part with for a couple hundred bucks. I have travelled with my 400mm 2.8 attached to one body, a second body, 70-200mm 2.8, 24-70mm 2.8, speedlight, monopod and laptop. The reason I would sell is just like the guys have said, it's too heavy when fully loaded for a 66 year-old to lug through airports.

Got that! :thumbup:
I'm 6'5" and 235lbs, workout 6 days per week, carrying all my gear on a 5-7 mile hike is not a problem for me.

I have liked the design of the Bumblebee, but didn't realize it could hold that much. :thumbup:

I find it quite interesting that anybody would want to put everything in one basket.
Makes it easy for a mugger to get it all at once. :?

But, what ever....

I've got one and they are great. Holding all my gear with plenty of space left over.

Greenguy, good to know that not all photographers are wimpy!! :lol:
I'm pretty sure that Lowpro makes those separate cases that you can attach to those straps on the sides of their packs.
That would get a few of those lenses out of the inside of the pack and allow it to be more compact for the times you don't need to carry everything.
I have a 350 and it's pretty darn big!
The Incredible Hulk was a greenguy also, are you related?! :lol: :lol:
