Looking for a new travel camera bag

GSXRMovistar · 14 Oct 2018 at 13:04

I've already got an assortment of camera bags however none currently cater for my latest requirement, looking for a rucksack styled bag that can carry:-

13" Macbook Pro (with charger)
One camera body with lens fitted
Spare lens
Flashgun
Small gimbal with GoPro attached
~~Spark drone and controller~~
Various batteries/cables/misc

All the kit won't be in it most of the time but need to get it all in when travelling. Would also be good if the bag offered a way of locking it and securing it down (i.e. to a table or sun lounger).

Any thoughts/recommendations?

Cheers
Andy

Did you know we have a general discussion thread sticky at the top of this page now for such thread like this ?

I didn't, however we all know as soon as something is make a sticky it becomes invisible.

The more i think about it the more I think I'm wanting to pack too much into a single bag to make it practical. I've got an old LowePro roller backpack and whilst it can fit in everything and the kitchen sink its massive and bloody heavy (even when empty).

So on revision, I'll stick the drone stuff in a separate bag as I ideally want to be able to carry this bag around with me during the day.

Well that's what I'm kinda after, something I can put everything in for the flight/travelling to hotel, then once there it would be used as a day bag by the pool/beach/evening bar to take camera and video stuff with me.

Manfrotto Advanced Travel Backpack and the Lowepro 250 AW II Fastpack are looking like possible candidates, just wish camera bags didn't look so much like camera bags!

Gone with the Lowepro 250 AW II Fastpack for now, I've got an old slingshot bag (but much smaller) and always liked the easy access side compartment so hoping this will work in a similar fashion.
