Thread: How do you pack your dslr photography gear for a hike or backpacking trip?

  1. #21
    I use a Lowepro Toploader like the one below with a chest harness. It can hold my camera w/tokina 10-17 attached and my Canon 55-250mm. I like that it's right in front of me for quick access.

    To carry dslr and photo equipment is a problem.
    Clik Elite and LowePro have pretty good things, but no really, IMO, goodies for backpacking.

    I was building my own system. A mix of Clik and LowePro.
    I fix my LowePro Toploader 70AW aon my backpack, w/ self-made buckle-straps.

    4 'female' buckle-straps at the toploader.
    2 'male' buckle-straps at the shoulder straps of the backpack.
    1 buckle-straps w/ 2 'male' buckles behind the waist straps of the backpack.

    This is an hands-free-system and adjustable.

    Lenses are protected in LowePro lens cases and stored in the side-extensions or inside of the backpack.
    Tripod is mounted on the side of backpack too.

    Here are some pics.

    The cheapest fix I know

    For day hiking the fix is really easy. I got a cheap backpack camera case I got from Wal-mart and it has in it some Velcro straps on the inside for a telephoto lens I just strap a bicycle water bottle in it. Never had a problem with leaking although I would keep it tap cold so the bottle doesn't sweat. It will at least give you water for hydration and with the padding in the bag it will keep it pretty cool most of the day. So just take one of those lens compartment and stick a water bottle in it. I also have a belt holder that holds a bicycle water bottle so worst case sernario you have one on the hip and one in the bag. I saw those at one of the outdoor outfitters I think it was Bass pro shop. I had mine for years and my dad gave it to me I don't know where he got it from. Just be sure to check that the water bottles seal nicely. there are some really cheap ones typically the give away ones that don't and can leak. but most big box stores carry decent ones that won't leak when turned upside down.
