Photo bagpack
Hi,
I know it's not reallt 35mm, but at least it's for my 35mm camera gear ;-) I was today looking at different backpacks for my photo "hikes". I usually do full day (6+ hours) hikes and need both food and around 1Gal of water when I hike. My goal is to just carry a single bag, if not for any other reason then because my photo gear is rather small, but my 3001Pro tripod must be with me. So I looked today at an Orion Trekker, Orion AW and a Rover Pro AW. The Orion Trekker was horryble, imho, to carry (mostly due to the top part not having any stability at all) and didn't have any resonable solution for the tripod. The Orion AW (two seperate parts) had horrible, again imho, shoulder straps, which was sitting really bad due to the two part design. The Rover Pro AW was sitting really well, but was just too big (at least outside) for me. Apparently my "local" photo store didn't have all the Lowepro bags and when I came how I saw that there is a Rover AW, which is smaller than the Rover Pro AW, and there is a (at least used to be) Rover Light. Does the Rover Light not exist any longer? Have anyone compared the Rover AW to it's Pro cusin? On some(*) website I saw that he wrote that the space in the Rover (non AW, is that Light?) was smaller than Orion Trekker - is that true? Are there really not any photo bagsack which have the size of the Orion Trekker, but with decent quality for daytrips and a tripod? *) http://www.camerahobby.com/Access-Lowepro-Rover.htm Martin |

I use a fairly heavy LowePro Photo Trekker AW, which holds a lot of gear and has a tripod holder on the back. I use a couple of optional side pouches to carry water (or raingear). This works great if you have a body and several lenses; if you're only taking a couple of lenses one of the smaller models should do fine too. |
