Any one have experience with riding offroad with a DSRL? I have a Lowepro 16L AW which I could use for my 650D, but a bit worried about vibration leading to damage?

Also what about humidity? In the winter I'm pretty sure I broke a point and shoot Canon due to humidity after climbing a local hill on the bike with it in my pack.

Any advice?

Depends what you mean by mountain biking really.

Thanks, very useful. Yes I was thinking full on technical trails, not so much for the scenery but to take some action shots with the lads at key points in the trails, jumps for example. I was concerned about vibration, I'm inclined to agree with you - too much vibration.

For weather conditions I like the ziplock idea. That will come in handy walking!

I've taken my 650d out with my a few times but generally only when the weather is good and I've not had it mounted to the bike. I think it would be a little bulky and would need a very very solid mount to stop it shaking all over the place due to its weight.

Hehe no I wouldn't dream of mounting a DSRL to a bike! :)
 
Yep and they are pretty cool for it. A friend of mine is a RAF pilot/flying instructor and a great downhill mountain biker - needless to say he's got some great footage with the GoPro "in the office" and on the trails :)

I would quite like one to take scuba diving, but our diving trips abroad are few and far between so not sure it's worth it.
 
I don't know, there could be a lot of constant vibration, even in the bag. These are pretty mechanical beasts, not sure they would survive that well.
