gloria_hopkins Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hi folks: I'm going to need a pack to hold three cameras (4x5, 35mm, video, three lenses and all accessories). Eventually I'll need to attach (or include) the camera pack in a larger backpacking pack. Hopefully the tripod can be attached to the pack as well. Does anyone know of any 'system' type packs that you could mix/match, coordinate or build a custom pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybynum Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 if you are still looking for a camera pack try JustOne by eberestock. I own it and it's a great tool. When I'm not hauling my photography gear I easly removed it and the pack is ready for genneral backpacking or whatever. It has a unique scabard that can hold the tripod to. Great pack, unsurpassed quality and a liftime warrently! Glen the owner, is a former U.S. Olympic biathlete. The pack is called the JustOne and comes in all sorts of colors. www.eberlestock.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreades Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hmmmm, one would assume that if it can haul 140 lbs of mule deer then it can probably hold up to three cameras and assorted extras. :) And the look on a hunter's face when you reach back and pull the tripod out of its "scabbard", attach a 400mm lens, and "shoot" the target might just be worth the cost of the pack... jon P.S. It actually looks like a great pack, but it's impossible to resist the urge to make fun of a pack advertised my its capacity to haul carcasses around in the woods.

mark feldstein Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Take a look at Rich Stum's site http://www.kinesisgear.com Most of his bags and packs can be customized with accessory packs and attachments. IMHO, they're all reasonably priced, extremely well made, versatile and do an excellent job of protecting equipment. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Gloria - It's OK here. The photographers most likely to know about such packs for fieldwork probably all shoot nature. Everybody else just throws the stuff in the trunk of their car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_lofquist Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 If I were going to carry that much, I'd start with a 6-pack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyrpowr Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Cabelas also carries a "freighter" type pack frame, which could easily be customized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sknowles Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 You might check out <a href="http://www.mchalepacks.com/">McHale Packs</a> in Seattle. They're expensive, but they custom fit and may custom make your pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike sisk Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I have some Kinesis gear and it's great stuff. And McHale is the "creme de la crop" of backpacks. <p>But if you need to haul a lot of gear, perhaps you need to look here: <a href="http:// www.themule.com">http://www.themule.com</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike f Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hi Gloria, I have one of the big Lowepro Super Trekker All Weather back packs that might hold all of your stuff. I know at one time it held about 70 lbs. of my camera gear. I now carry everything around in a motorhome! (Much easier) The pack is sitting in the attic, slightly dusty but not worn. If interested let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
