[artshow_photo] Re: Backpacking with Camera gear

 

Carlton,
I also own 2 LowePros and happy with their quality, especially the cushioning. That aside, never use them for the remote trips with a wildlife photography goal. I own both an older Gregory and Dana backpack. I use the Dana for the wildlife photo backpacking trips due to its extremely large external pockets that I can stuff my body w/70-200mm/2.8 w/a 1.4 converter or a 400/5.6. Super accessible in the outside pockets. I choose not to carry my 400/2.8 due to the weight. If I am doing just an overnight and can take the extra weight, take along the 24-70 for landscapes. Instead of my larger Gitzo tripod I carry a Gitzo 1588 monopod which actually works well as a walking stick. Blue Skies.
