Bag of Holding..............

Syd · 2 Jun 2011

I have a Loewepro 200AW for light travel a larger Loewepro rucksack for foreign travel (fits all other hand luggage stuf in as well - HOWEVER what i would like is a bag that can fill ALL my kit in with easy access on A LOWISH budget purely for consolidated home storage so basically it needs to comfortably hold:
2 bodies
1 compact
70 - 200 2.8
24 - 70 2.8
5 other medium lenses
Large Flash gun + Accesories

Would a large billingham ytpe accept all of this easily and allow easy access ?
Amd who makes a decent cheap version of it if there is such a thing ?

Thanks for looking

I'd be inclined to get a small suitcase.

Compartmentalising becomes the issue then - especially if Mrs Syd decides to stand it on it's end

Bubblewrap and a threat of her not having any new shoes for a long time would sort that.

That's a lot of stuff! Whatever you get you'll need a sherpa to go with it.

I'd be personally worried that some git in the airport weighed it and went 'Naaah that's too heavy/big for hand luggage you'll have to check it in the hold'

Second-hand Lowepro Commercial AW?

I decided against one, in favour of two Nova 5 or 200s. Far less knackering.

Lowepro Stealth reporter 500 series maybe i have a 400 series and can get 2 gripped bodies 5 lenses and 2 flash guns. The slip lock features mean you can bot some kit the sides with extra cases. Mine is heavy as it is.

Look for GEM backpack on Amazon. Cheaper version of LowePro CompuTrekker. It stores my 2 cameras, 4 lenses, 4 flashes... and a laptop. Plus plenty of accessories. And it's less than £40.

Why would it be checked in the hold if he only wants a bag for home storage?

Durrr. 'Cos I can't read. Read 'for travel' and then 'travel' and missed the third thing when he said 'HOME STORAGE'. Doh.

Thank you Mr Shed - I was just reading the responses thinking this lovely advice really isnt helping!!!!

A Compatmentalised suitcase would be great - as would a large 'holdall' with space and sections for everything. But as it is purely for storage I dont want to spend alot!!
