Need Larger Camera Pack
Jun 1, 2016 00:54:38 #
Having recently upgraded my Canon T4i to a Nikon D750 and some larger lenses, I can no longer fit everything in my Lowepro flipside 300. My ideal new pack will hold at least the D750, along with a 24-70 F/2.8, 14-24 F/2.8, and 70-200 F/4 lens and perhaps a second camera body down the road. I do a lot of hiking in the mountains and carry a Slik U-212 tripod. The tripod is a bit large for my current pack but will work. I know a lot of you have similar gear and perhaps have found a good pack.

Take a look at the Domke 410 backpack. It will hold what you describe and has a good tripod holding system and built tough. Keep in mind that they will get very heavy.

Check out the Lowepro Flipside 500. I have my Alpha 850, 50mm, 28-75, 70-200, 150-600, and flash stuffed in mine. B&H $132.56 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/840044-REG/Lowepro_LP36412_PWW_Flipside_500_AW_Backpack.html

I suggest you go to a Golf course and hire a caddy. OR, minimize the equipment you take OR, buy one of the great super zoom compact cameras, with post you will get some great images... and that is what the hike and photography are all about.
I replaced my tripods with increased shutter speed and/or ISO. Yes, there are times when a tripod is needed. Our photography hobby should be a joy adjunct to life not a burden and excessive expense.
How about a just plain ol' hiking back pack designed to carry large loads comfortably.

Find a woman with large thighs and broad shoulders who can carry a yoke across her shoulders with a large bag at either side to carry your gear.

I have the gear you mentioned and.............
I brought a Lowepro Vertex 200AW from someone here on UHH. I use it as my second storage bag when I do weddings along side my Pelican. It is a backpack, and will hold all that stuff. I love it. Holds alot of gear. Take a peek at it in your search.

I am forever amazed that a $30 back pack with a few dividers can cost $200+ and photographers are fool enough to buy them. Large back pack with "lunch bag" insulated multi compartment with in.... blue red etc code for lenses, camera in alone.... etc... each $10 walmart. Get creative and do not look for magic .... you carry too much equipment.... why... what do you plan to see. If I were hiking I would use my 24/7 pocket camera or at most my Canon SX50... only in extreme cases would I use a small tripod on a stump or strapped to a tree.... and a zoom lens on my Sony S-65, ok, perhaps a macro also. KIS, keep it simple....
Perhaps you could carry a pack that says Rob Me... $6000 contained in back pack.
PS: Billy Spad ain' all bad.

Interesting reply, and a bit different in mood from you.

I think the OP has decided what he/she wants to carry, and came here looking for recommendations from 'hogs who may use a similar kit. Suggesting other kits probably won't help and does not answer the question.

The good thing about camera bags is that they're cheaper than lenses. I have a bunch of them in my closet - all sizes - but not one of them is perfect for everything. I think they were clever in designing bags that were good for almost everything. Most of my bags are Lowepro, simply because they had what I needed at the time, and the quality is excellent - never a failure.

i agree, the domke 410 is really nice when carrying a goodly amount of equipment.
