All,

What type of case or back pack do you use for traveling with your camera's and lenses? Are the like the Sunny 16 or Carry Cubo? Thank you in advance.

Greetings,

I am a Lowepro guy.  Sling, Protactic and top load holster.  I have a bag for almost every excursion. Also depends on my mood.  🙂 The carry kubo looks cool.  There is no single camera, single lens or pack, bag etc that does it all.  

For travel....  Protactic Backpack all the way.

I always appreciate your responses.

Rick,

Which Protactic Backpack do you own/use? Thank you

I have the 450.  It's a big boy, but holds a full compliment, body and lenses plus a 14-in Lenovo laptop.  Lowepro makes several different lines so make sure you look it a bunch of them to find the one that fits your lifestyle best.  The proactic models are very comfortable.  They have an integrated belt system that can be removed and worn alone too.  The size and type you choose really depends on how much gear you want to carry

Rick,

Probably would purchase something smaller. I would pack my R10, RF-s 18-150mm, RF-s 10-18mm and RF 100-500mm. Take charger, extra batteries, and additional SD cards. Thank you for your response.

I had no idea you were a Lowepro guy too. I have the 450’s little brother the 350 Mark II.

Hi,

I purchased it for capacity primarily, but it really does provide excellent protection.  The 100-500 fits in the lower compartment, tripod collar on, with some room to spare.  I put the 15-35 in the upper, left the 70-200 on the right and in the center my 24-70 mounted to my body.  All the separators have velcro so you can configure it however you want regardless of the size of bag.  This leaves plenty of room for batteries, cards, charger, rocket blower, etc
