Backpack for my gear (1 Viewer)

[Wachtel]

My normal setup for birding is a D300s+TC2,0III+300VRII. I'm looking for a backpack that can hold this without trouble but still be fairly small. I've been looking at the TT Glass Taxi but from what I have read the TC would have to be removed.

Anyone with a recommendation?

Thanks!

The Lowepro Pro Runner 350AW gets a good review and not too expensive.

Not a bad bag but I was locking for something longer and thinner.

Lens hood attached or reversed?
The Lowe Flipside 400 should take the combo for sure with hood reversed, not sure if it will fit with hood attached. The larger Flipside 500 should have no problem with your rig in either configuration.

I have just bought the flipside 400aw & it's a brilliant bag, it will take my slr with battery grip attached & 100-400 zoom, plus loads of acessories.

Have you looked at Kata? http://www.katabags.co.uk/tlb-300-pl-for-pro-dslr-with-up-to-a-300-telephoto-lens

I've found the bag I'm looking for, it will be the Kata TLB-300.

Thanks for all your suggestions!

A 3kg+ pack for a D300s w/300 f2.8 and TC2xIII!? No thanks!

I also use the Lowepro Flipside 400AW for the exact same kit. It is half the weight and 1/3 the price! Plus I get the convenience of not even having to take the pack off to access the camera.

I hadnät noticed the weight. 3 kg, thats way to much.

RJM, can you fit this combo, rigged and ready, in the 400 AW?
