Does anyone have any recommendations about the best way to carry an SLR camera on a bike - any pointers to specialist bits of kit/bags/panniers which are purpose made for the task?
+1 (but you have found the second strap which can completely secure it, haven't you, Graham? Or does the 100 not have one of those?)GrahamNR17 said:For my use, I've found the Lowepro Slingshot just about perfect. It's like a single-strap rucksack but with a not-slippy-round thingy
Yes, it has that, I just couldn't remember what to call it (fried brain this evening) hence I called it the non-slippy-round-thingNorm said:+1 (but you have found the second strap which can completely secure it, haven't you, Graham? Or does the 100 not have one of those?)
Is this a new delicacy only available from your local Sainsburys?GrahamNR17 said:(fried brain this evening)
Crackle said:Have you seen the Ortlieb camera insert for their bar bags? Provided you get the padding right, you won't have a problem. I've carried an SLR in a barbag for thousands of miles. Once, in the early days, I failed to adequately protect a lens and the internal diaphragm stopped working when all the screws vibrated loose. It was a cheap lens, badly protected. Since then, no problems.

Shame my cycling kit wasn't made of the same material
