This may be a recurring theme, but I would appreciate some input on how members carry their N-systems. I need a small-as-possible hip pack with foldaway belt (as well as a good shoulder strap) to carry an N1 with P-9 grip, a 24-85 and 70-300 zoom, and a Metz 54 MZ-3 flash, plus some film and filters. If possible, when travelling with this load, I would like to be able to add a G2 with 21, 45 and 90 lenses.
Has anyone tried any of the following ?
RoadWired Photo/Video Convertible Bag
Tamrac 5745 Velocity 5 Hip Pack
Tamrac #706 Deluxe Convertible
The real problem is to carry the camera with the grip and either lens fitted for instant use. The whole shape is then very awkward to carry in a bag. My current solution is to use a Domke 803 shoulder bag, with the camera and lenses unmounted so they all fit side by side. It makes for a slim bag to carry, but is really slow to get into action if I see something I want to react to. Also there is no room for the G2 kit unless I add a pocket or two on the shoulder strap, but that is where I carry the film stores when travelling.
I have also been considering a Billingham Pro Hadley, but this gets out of the belt pack aspect. Will the N1 system fit into the Hadley Pro ? Anyone out there had experience of this ?
