What backpack to use?
I currently use a Maxpedition Kodiak Gearslinger to carry my camera, lenses and assorted gear. I pulled the padding and dividers from an old shoulder camera bag and placed it into the Gearslinger. This has worked quite well, with the sling bag setup allowing me to quickly shift the bag forward to access the camera and lenses, as well as being a decent platform when I’m changing lenses. It has also proven to be very reliable - No tears or malfunctions in the ~5 years I’ve been had it.
The bag has also been good when flying – I take it as a ‘personal item’ with wallet, phone, tablet, headphones while a rolling carryon carries other "need on the flight/too precious to place in checked bag" items.
Recently I’ve been running into two main issues –
I’m trying to find a comfortable backpack that would allow me to carry camera+lenses (Canon 6D, Canon 50mm 1.8, Canon 70-300 4.5-5.6, Canon 35-80 4.5-5.6) along with spare batteries, memory cards, flash (sometimes) as well as some extra ‘stuff’ – water bottle, snacks, sweatshirt, 1st aid and other items my wife might shift over to me to lessen her weight. I have a GorrilaPod with a ball head on the outside (threaded through molle straps on the side).
What do you use? What do you recommend?
I know what I’m asking is somewhat conflicting – I want it to be comfortable, spacious but not too big, allow easy access to photo gear but hopefully not require completely removing the pack to access it. I’m hoping that there’s a bag that hits my sweet spot for these. I’ve already modified a non-photo bag and can do so again. I just need the bag to have the right ‘bones’.
