What would be a camouflage bag for a Canon 6d with a 70 to 300mm lens attached?
A violin or rifle case comes to mind.

My husband and I were walking around in Valparaiso, Chile. I was carrying a camera, very visible. We walked by another tourist also with a camera. Shortly after passing him we heard him scream, saw 2 guys wrestle him to the ground to grab his camera. Luckily someone was walking a dog and chased the men away, but the incident could have ended very badly. Wonder about precautions to take when using camera where tourists are often targeted for crime besides resorting to smartphone?
That is why I either cary my Bridge Camera Canon SX50 or my Sony a6000. either one slips into a jacket pocket or over my shoulder under a jacket. If I do cary some gear, I put it all in a colorful diaper bag. Diaper bags are well built, waterproof, insolated, have lots of pockets. They don't advertise Nikon, Canon, Sony etc. No one steals a diaper bag.

Dye the center and one corner of a new diaper mustard yellow or brown. Barry it on top with the corner hanging out. Absolute guarantee of security (until someone sees you taking a camera out of the bag).
