Glad you have a strong back and are healthy. I work out of my trunk or back seats, camera bags and cameras. I can barely walk these days.

I also have my days of it! But I'm not ready to give up yet! I hope you find your solution to your camera bag problem.

Every time I go to B&H, I am in search for the perfect camera bag. What I am looking for is a bag with a lift device that will make my gear lighter; like an antigravity module. Have not found such an item but I am also not ready to give up.

I bought a lowepro protactic bp 450 thinking it would hold a d500 with 18-300, a d850 with 24-70, a 70-200, a sb800, a mac ProBook, ipad air in a case, filters, chargers cleaning equipment.
I was disappointed. The case is too short too hold the flash and the f2.8 lenses in a vertical orientation. There is no way I could add a Nikon 14-28 or 200-500 in the mix
The ProBook will not fit in the plastic slot.
Is there any backpack or messenger bag out there that will carry these two large cameras, lenses, flash and extras while city hiking or exploring the outdoors.

The Flipside II is good choice and will easily hold all your heat and with the waist belt tightening properly you can swing it around in front of you access your gear without taking off. Also it’s a good size as an carry on for air travel

The first thing you should do (and you should have done before purchasing the Lowepro camera bag) is take precise measurements of the gear you want to fit into the camera bag. Then look up the dimension specs for camera bags you think may be a good match. Stop guessing, start measuring! Approach the task like an engineer would. Draw diagrams if necessary.


You know, that is a really a good idea. I never thought of that. I wouldn’t have this collection of bags.

I have a f150 4x4 for off road and a 1970 Etype for the curves and straight roads


That E-Type was not a very good car for curves.

I think the Etype (XKE) was produced 1961 to 1975. the 6 cylinder cars had 185-15 tires. not very wide by todays standards. also the wire wheels are the least stiff wheels one can use. In 1975 I drove ours on the autobahn for about 2 hours at 105 to 110 mph while driving from Stuttgart to Bremerhaven to ship it back to the states; it was comfortable at that speed. The rest of the trip was on roads with lower posted speed limits; but I still had an average trip speed of 87 mph. I left early in the morning and arrived soon enough to have it processed for shipping and catch a ride home. Today google maps says that trip is 7 hours there was a lot less traffic 45 years ago and legal high way speeds were higher
here is another short clip of them racing
