You don't indicate what model of each are illustrated. Can you indicate which Lowepro bag is illustrated and what model tripod (ballhead model?). Also, Volume 2 of same series (page 162) shows a Sony GPS-CS1KA which is no longer made. Any, other GPS recommendations and how does one connect it to a camera anyway (Canon 40D for example)? Love your books - looking forward to Volume 4. Hi Scott: Volume 3 (latest) of The Digital Photography on page 185 (What I pack for a Travel Shoot) shows a Manfrotto tripod (tabletop) and Lowepro bag.

I am amazed at all the room for cords, cards, (the kitchen sink) etc... in this thing! Best of all there is a quick access compartment which makes removing the laptop for TSA security checks a breeze compared to the old laptop case I used ..... it's also legal carry on size.... I am quite happy with it and highly recommend it! Great Blog! Cheers, Nancy Hi Scott,

They make a padded camera duffel that integrates with 3 different sized packs, all of which have hydration bladders. On the skycrane, you can even mount your pelican studiocruzer, for when the going is too rough for the wheels. http://eberlestock.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=E&Product_Code=J2PD Regarding larger camera packs for outdoor photographers, check out eberlestock.

You helped me understand Photoshop where other book failed. A few years back when I got in to Digital Photography from film I read an article from a traveling photog who took his gear belt pouches and stored them in his camera bag without the usual dividers since the gear was already in protective pouches. I did that for a while and while at the time I was unaware of THink Tank and was already using Tamrac's MAS and SAS system for my gear. Now I take out most of the dividers that separate the components out of my bag(s). I use their Camera holster for my main body and leans and have several of their pouches stuck on it one to hol my second lens, one to hold my backup camera batteries and spare memory cards, and one to hole my lens cleaning stuff, Bus Card size model releases, a leatherman, pens etc. This also fits on the belt when I use it. My main bag is their largest backpack with laptop holder. I keep everything in it two flashes backup body big lens Quantum Batteries e, Super Clamps, etc their. I carry my tripod and mono pod in a seperate bag that will attach to the backpack. I have anothe small camera bag for two Vivitar 285 and related stuff. I have 2 16x16 softboxes for the 285s that I store in one of the Tamrac side pouches. I plan on buying some Think Tank gear tto fill the voids of what I have one think is their Pocket Rocket for Memory cards and some of their lens bags and their cable management bags for the little stuff. I figure one of each. I may switch to their 360 Bag in the future. I think it would make a great bag since the fanny pack can be detatached and used as a belt for their other pouches seperatly from the main bag. Pack clothes in the top part gear in the bottom and pouches f\ull of lenses and flash equipment on the belt leave the top part in the rental car and go shoot put it together for the flight and travel sections of the trip. That with the Cruizer would work great using the advice above for storing your equipment in the think tank pouches in the cruiser for the flight and travel. I will have to look in to the cruizer as I have a Pelican 1660 that holds most of my gear when traveling by truck. Scott, I am a really big fan of your books and web training information.

I certainly feel your pain as it takes a while to settle into a good traveling system. Then just when you get it all figured out, TSA changes the rules.

We are all over the world. Just ship it to us. I would be happy to receive your lens bag next time you travel to Chicago. I'm not saying you would ever see your lenses again, but I would be happy to get the package. Scott,
