Sold the house and car. Got divorced. Bought the new Canon 600mm Mark III. I now need a way to carry it on hikes ranging up to 4 miles or so. Any recommendations for a good backpack? Also needs to be carry on compliant.
My Canon 600 1:4 IS II USM came with a backpack made by ActiveLift. It is 10" X 10" X 25", which will fit in an airline overhead bin.

It is part of a series of Lowepro Pro Trekker Bag for Camera.
The ultimate expedition pack
The Pro Trekker AW series is the ultimate, hydration-ready, expedition camera backpack. Lightweight, yet durable, find space for 1-2 Pro DSLRs and equipment plus a laptop of up to 15” in size in the Pro Trekker 450 AW, and 2-3 Pro DSLRs, further equipment and a 15” laptop in the Pro Trekker 650 AW.
Featuring the innovative ActivLift System harness, constructed to mimic the natural “S” curve of the back, this range transfers weight from the waist to hips for safer transportation. A body-fit design makes it easy to fit to the length of your torso, and airflow channels allow for improved breathability.
The Pro Trekker AW series has been constructed from high-performance tech fabrics with a 630D high-density nylon Oxford body and a 1000D Cordura base, providing superior abrasion, tear and water resistance, without adding extra weight to your load.
A built-in All Weather AW Cover with cinch straps and rainflap delivers unbeatable protection from the elements. Made to protect from rain, snow, dust & sand, the cover still allows for the use of compression straps at the bottom of the bag when in use.

Lowepro Lens Trekker 600AW. I have used this for my 600mm F4 lenses for over 10 years now.
You can take a look at the Think Tank line of back packs and carry solutions.
Thanks for the response. This backpack has been redesigned and, technically, will not comply with carry-on specifications (22" max). Have you had any trouble with the airlines?

Might try a donkey. For carry-on purposes, claim as “support animal.” 😎😎😎
I use a Think Tank Lens Taxi and have always been satisfied with it. I also use it for my 500 as well as my 100-400 with lens hood extended and camera attached.
