Does anyone use a hip bag to carry a camera out on a bike?
Since I got back into mountain biking ~18 months ago, photography has taken a bit of a back seat, I would like to merge the two from time to time so need a way to safely carry a camera.
Frame bags are a no go, far too much vibration that will eventually kill a camera, and I prefer not to ride with a back pack and they are slow to access, so a hip bag looks to be the way to go.
The Evoc Capture 7 seems perfect and has been design with both photography and bikes in mind. It is however quite pricey and since Brexit Evoc are no longer shipping to the UK anyway.
Bike specific hip bags are un-padded so I would need to factor in a suitable padded insert, but most use a single straight zip to access the main compartment rather than a three sided zipped flap which would make access much easier.
Camera hip packs seem to be few and far between and those that I have seen look quite unsuitable for bombing down the side of a hill and will bounce around all over the place.
I need to be able to carry a Fuji XT3 with a 24-70 lens attached, and if room for also a 50-200 then great. So I think I need a bag somewhere in the 6-7litre capacity range.
Anyone already using something like this?
