Camera equipment & bags
I refused to leave camera, other valuables in the hotel room.
Should I worry about leaving stuff like that in a hotel room even if it's in a safe?

Check out Pacsafe.
They have a range of bags and some camera straps and ‘bag inserts’.
Hope that helps.- 0 people like this

ahsleightara hit the nail on the head. They make an awesome camera strap and have some good back packs. Also check out a local good camera store there are tons of backpack camera cases to choose from. I saw many good ones at Ritz/Wolf Cameras but they were pricy. I have the pacsafe 200, sling safe 50 and the portable safe as well as the camera strap. They make a good product. REI online also has some pacsafe products. And ships within 2-3 days.

Do you find that the Pacsafe 200 can fit a large camera?- 0 people like this

It depends on how large the camera is I have a canon reble digital slr xti and it fit just fine. It does hold alot. With extra room. I think the city safe 200 is the best way to go has a spot for a water bottle on the side too.

I don’t know I took my small camera and left the huge bag and huge camera in the safe in the hotel room. I took the small slingsafe50 out at night. No the straps never hurt my shoulders but i’m also kind of use to it.

Hi, if you’re not opposed to having a larger backpack to cart around – I bought the Naneu Pro K3L backpack yesterday as am planning a trip thru Europe at the end of this year or thru next year – it has heaps and heaps of compartments, it’s really comfy to wear and has chest and waist straps, a waterbottle holder on the waist strap and a compartment at the bottom big enough to fit my canon 400D with 18-55 attached and my 50mm and 75-300mm lenses as well as possibly a speedlite.
Has anyone else taken a backpack like this over?? Is it the best option for those with DSLR’s??- 0 people like this
