HELP! My Cameras need a new home!!

[natx]

Hey guys and gals,

I bought a Slingshot 200AW and then later a 7 Million Dollar Home...

But I cant fit my standard gear in it! Arghhhhh...

Could any of you direct me in the right direction? Need to house the following in a bag (not backpack please, need to be able to swing my camera out (with 70-200 attached) to shoot spontaneously as and when something catches my eye =P):

Canon 40D with 70-200 f2.8 attached
100-400mm
17-50mm
50mm f1.8
100mm macro
MR14-EX macro ring flash
Speedlite 580EX
Garyfong whaletail
17" laptop
Adaptors and spare batteries

The 7 million dollar home is not enough cos the 40D with 70-200 attached sticks out..

ANY views will be greatly appreciated...


I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction =) Currently thinking of the brazillion dollar home...

u are seriously torturing ur 7 million dollar!!!! I cant imagine myself being that bag!!!!

when i fit a D70s, 70-200, 18-70, 50 f1.8, sb800, water bottle, i already feel that it is very squeezy.... but u are squeezing 70-200 n 100-400 n a notebook!!!! tats torture!!!

if u really want, get this instead http://products.lowepro.com/product/...AW,2048,20.htm

Hehe, nono, i dont bring a notebook and all in my 7 million =P if i could squeeze, I wouldnt buy a new bag =P but then again, I dont squeeze my equipment...

Hmmm, should I go straight for a Stealth Reporter 650AW? I'm thinking of buying a 24-70 f2.8 soon too... will the 650AW fit all?

I'd definitely suggest a backpack, or else you'd probably have no shoulder left after a few horus of shooting..

But still, the Lowepro Stealth Reporter (550 / 650) seem like a good choice if you have to go with slingbags.

[natx]

I'm afraid the 650 cant fit all leh... anyone here has experience? I will consider a backpack but not for now.. thanks Headshotzx =) yes, I still do want my shoulder =P

[calebk]

The only way I see it is to get a Brazillion Dollar Home (if you wanna stick with Crumpler), or go for the largest stealth reporter. Better to try at Cathay if you need to see if it'll fit everything.

[natx]

Ok, after much persuasion, I have been swayed over to a backpack... Anything to recommend? Was looking at the fastpack 350 but i think wont fit all the above mentioned gear =X

[Headshotzx]

I'd refer you to this site called www.cambags.com.

Stick with lowepro. How bout this Vertex 100. Photo Trekker Classic also looks good.

[mtunlinn]

Lowepro Computer trekker plus.. or crumpler karachi outpost

You are a strong man.. I am sure i don't want to carry all my gear whenever i go out shooting.

[natx]

Hmmm, anyone seen the Tamrac Cyberpack 8? Looking along those lines...

[calebk]

Is quick access a must, or is putting the bag down to retrieve stuff an option too?

[ortega]

with all that stuff inside, i'd suggest getting a trolly or a bag with wheels

[natx]

I ordered the Lowepro CompuTrekker Plus AW =) it's more affordable than bringing in the Tamrac from US.. Shipping will kill you =X

[LazerLordz]

Been looking at the 7 Million Dollar myself, thinking of getting something more colorful you see..

So do any of you reckon I could put a Thinkpad R60, and two bodies, a D200 + 17-55mm and D100 w/grip + 50mm F1.4 and a SB-800?

Thought u talking abt the NTUC trolleys. At least thats what I pictured. Then in front put all the camera equipments, at the back can sit one baby some more.

now that is funny

[mynameisjizeng]

hahaha
i was actually going to get a larger bag to fit my stuff
but figured my back will suffer if i carried so much of that
so settled for less, more convenient, more mobile

no la, there are rolling camera bags

but that's a very interesting idea

maybe one day, someone will come up with that, the only trouble is that it isn't quite airplane friendly. would clog up the aisles.
