Hello guys, need a little help with photog equipment.
Im wondering what bags the photographers amongst you use.
I like action shots and sequences but i would like to take landscapes whilst up the mountain as well.
Kit is 400d, sigma 70-300mm, sigma 24-70mm, sigma 10-20mm and a 430ex, plus you have your tripod and all your filter gubbins.
What i would like it to do is the job of the dakine helipro, but be big enough for all that equipment plus your usual day kit.
As i said just wondering what some of you guys use and maybe a little advice thanks. |

I have a dakine sequence. Does the job for three lenses, a couple of flashes, pocket wizards and two bodies. You can attach a tripod to it with a bit of manipulation and you can stick a shovel in it too  |

i use a dakine mission
but im video, would work good for photo as well as the dividers are movable. i like it cos the camera bloack is removable so i can take the camera block out and use it as a reguer bag
key thing for snow is rear access so when you put it down the straps/back dont get wet in the snow. |

Up until now I've been riding with a Crumpler Formal Longue pack, which was useless when it came to carrying any more extra than my camera equipment (It was originally bought before I started riding, to blend in when travelling). I've got a Heli Pro pack for days that I don't take my camera, but I wouldn't dream of stashing my gear in there. One bad stack and it would be in bits as there is zero protection.
I've just managed to track down a Dakine Sequence on eBay last week (they have 2 left) and can't wait to get my hands on it. It was a choice between that and the Burton Zoom pack. The Mission looked a little too chunky for me, but I loved the external pockets on the Sequence. I took a few too many chances this season, shooting back country lines where I wasn't able to carry a shovel, probe, etc. and don't fancy repeating it next season. |

So, the dakine sequence ayyy?
Just had a look at that and it looks nice. The f-stops look nice aswell though.
Steviemck do you lug a tripod around or do you find a mono to be good enough?
And cheers for all the helpfull suggestions everyone. |

In the past I carried a tripod for sequences, but tend to shot them manually now and pan with the rider. Its more work in photoshop, but the results look a lot more impressive. However I do carry a lightweight tripod or monopod if I'm intending to do anything with a remote flash and pocket wizards.
I had a look at the f-stop bags, but when it came to value for your money the Sequence (and Zoom) seemed like the better option. |

| With the latest Photoshop and Photoshop elements you have photomerge really works in panoramas. It does the magic of stitching and perspective correction automatically! I have not tried with sequences but my guess is that it will actually do a good job without a tripod. |
