New Camera Bag
New Camera Bag

Rather bad photo from my Nokia cellphone (its strong point is not flash photos….) showing my old bag and the new one I got today. This is the Tamrac Adventure 9 with some extra packing space – also carries a laptop PC. I love this series as they look very much like normal backpacks. See www.tamrac.com/5549.htm.
What’s In My Bag for ETech 06

Image by rich115
Here’s what I’m taking to ETech (minus the cloths).
I like to travel as light as possible, so it’s a laptop case, small bag for taking onboard, and a camera case. 10,000 miles, about 48 hours travel time, and two weeks packed into as small an area as I can manage.
If I grab a tshirt or two, I’m stuffed on the return trip

Aah!! nice yes much biger
Yes can carry everything now!! Hope its not going to get too heavy…..
Fabulous! but yes, large! I also hope it doesn’t get too heavy.
Yes especially as Chantel has to carry it on her back while we are riding…
LoL!
mmm, is it comfortable to walk/hike with? I find my bag is CRAM packed (Cobra)… and my flash is NOT in it
Yep it is, has a padded back as well as waist and chest strap to stabilize it. I also mainly chose this design for it being low key so it does not look too obvious that it is packed with photo equipment. My flash was also a slight challenge as it is L-shaped and its overall length slightly exceeds the depth of the bag. The dividers use Velcro to stick so you can rearrange them. Finally got my flash in!!
Great bag. Quite a bit bigger than the last one. Should make a difference. I’m not wonderfully happy with mine – looking into getting a new one too. I like your choice of red.
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Tamrac, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
Nice to see you upgraded to a digital SLR Richard! Enjoy the trip – Phil
Is there no collection of weird USB gizmo’s like phone chargers etc. Or am I the only one who packs these sort of things? I’m not interested in a guide, but I would be interested in being converted to the idea of podcasting while I’m at ETech, so grab me if you see me, please. – G.
oh deary me… at least they are outside in the fresh air… : )
