Went with the Mindshift Backlight 36l in the end, thanks for all the help & guidance.

Morning All, I'm just looking for recommendations/user experiences for a backpack, multi-purpose as it will be used for trips out as well as a home for my equipment. It will be home for a Sony a6*** aps-c body, a7*** body, Tamron 17-70, Sony 200-600G, Sony 70-200G, 5.5" field monitor and the...

It would be nice to have a coffee at some point in the future. Tomorrow it's market day with Camden, Borough, Covent Garden, Brick Lane, Greenwich and Old Spitalfields Markets if we can fit them in.

Griffith Observatory was great, waiting for the sun to set over LA. We did have a 4/5 mile hike to the Hollywood sign, not by choice but we couldn't understand the Uber driver and vice versa so got dropped in the wrong place lol. We stayed at The Garland Hotel in LA, we have made better choices...

I love shooting around the streets, south bank and markets in and around London and have never had any issues, mainly because people are too busy in their lives to notice somebody in the crowd taking photos. The Borough Market area is a favourite for me with plenty of characters buying and...

It was awesome though LA was a little underwhelming though something you have to do on a trip like that. Full of wonderful places like Morro Bay and Solvang that don't always appear on the usual places to visit list.

I probably should have referred to the size of the evf as yes I know it has one but it looks pokey compared to the one on my a6600. I can't make a final decision yet as I need to have hold of one but I've been to five camera shops in my area and stock of cameras is all but non-existent in some...

I'm finding it difficult also, the lack of EVF puts me off and the a7iii also has reported issues with the shutter catching and crunching up resulting in a repair rumoured to cost £400-£600. I am waiting for the a7IV though the rumoured price tag of £2.5k puts me off, currently with aps-c so...

It's been a bit of a while but I have had my time absolutely taken up by work, switched jobs to work in a hospital just before the start a pandemic lol. It was everything you said it would jaw dropping, breath taking and then some. It had been a lean time for whales off Monterey when we went...

We are hitting Monterey, also looking forward to a couple of days at Clint Eastwood's Mission Ranch en route.

I wouldn't try it myself but that's not to say it won't work though.

Sorry, this is the one i have https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SmallRig-A6500-Camera-Cage-Wooden-Hand-Grip-for-Sony-A500-Form-Fitting-2097/253712897784?epid=2289335137&hash=item3b127796f8:g:1qAAAOSwp7RblkXg:rk:8:pf:0

Yes and one of these https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1382293-REG/fotodiox_thumb_grip_e_pro_thumb_grip_type.html

I have the same set up but have added a smallrig with rosewood grip and a fotodiox thumb grip to improve holding comfort and balance at a cost about £80 in total but has made a real difference for me. I have always had thumb issues with the smaller bodied cameras which the thumb grip seems too...

Thanks Paulie, looks interesting.
