Backpack tips?	horia (14898)	::	2009-09-03 6:30
Does anyone have any tips for a large and good backpack that has one compartment for an SLR camera and lenses and an even BIGGER compartment for personal stuff (like clothes...not just a sandwich and toothpick and that's it)? I was thinking something like the Tamrac Adventure 10 series but maybe twice as big. Pointers and links would be much appreciated. Horia

Hi Horia, Did you look at Lowepro? (www.lowepro.com) The Rover AW II, Primus AW and CompuRover AW could be it. You also might to want at the new brand called Clik Elite (www.clikelite.com) although I am not sure if you can buy it outside the USA. Niek

Hi Niek I had a look at both of them. The Lowepro Rover AW II seemed the best from that brand but i still think it's much too small - especially the upper compartment. From the Click Elite i found their Large Hiker to be better but i think i would need an even bigger one and it's also a bit expensive - about 300$ without shipping. I appreciate your input anyway, but i'm still looking for one that would be good for housing the photo gear plus cloths and stuff for a 2-3 day trip. I'll see what i'll find or if i have to make myself a custom one. Cheers and have a great weekend Horia

Hi Horia I have the Lower Pro Primus AW (AW=all weather) and whilst I use it when I am not too serious about my backpacking and the likes, or when I am out for a casual day, I have not found it that brilliant for more serious work in the mountains etc. there are several features on it that I do like greatly - the good body belt, and water bottle holder (elasticated pocket on the outside) and when you put a rucksac down naturally, the zippers on this model are all in the right place. But getting the camera (Canon EOS 40D with 24-105mm L series lens) in and out of the side pocket etc, is hard. I usually get my other half to do it, or carry on holding the camera. Another downside is that where they put the tripod holder weighs the pack badly and pulls you backwards constantly. I don't use the tripod holder as a result. I can't hold my large lens (100-400mm) which is a shame, but is good for the standard landscape kit and will hold sandwiches, extra layer and if you don't take filters etc - will squeeze in small waterproofs (lighter weight stuff than I have). You have probably guessed what I am going to say. I have yet to find anything that I am happy going into the mountains with when I have not got someone else who can carry my waterproofs etc. I'm afraid I have yet to resolve the issue entirely myself and use a full normal rucksack with clothing or waterproofs as wrapping and protection for my lenses and filters. To date - I have damaged nothing. I have just trained myself to remeber which lens is wrapped in which top etc, so if you do find something that is sucessful please let me know - I would love to know what it is! Emma

Hi Possibly check with NatGeo bags. They have large backpacks which can fit 300mm lens,camera,sleeping bag and many pouches to keep filters,flash. Thanks Nara

You can also have a look on www.kata-bags.com/ They are not too expansive and seems to be very easy to use. I'm considering to buy a 3N1, but I need to see it in real to make my decision. Catherine
