Osprey Backpack

[jpwild]

As other of my threads show I want to start doing photography which involves me staying out for the night. I also am getting a Benro c257 tripod so it's lighter than my Redsnapper and with ball head will be around 600-800G lighter, which on hikes I think would be a lot when hiking and carrying other stuff.

I have a Flipside 300, which is great for days out. I also have Vertex 200, but hardly used that and I think it's too bulky to take on hikes - especially with a tripod that is quite far away from my back. Vertex 200 is pretty much a box.

I have read that Osprey do great backpacks such as the Atmos 50 and others. I am looking into these and looked at various videos, but not seen one packed with a DSLR yet.

I would take:
Canon 5D
1 lens - 24-70
Filters and accessories

I would also like to take:
Tent of around 2KG
mat and sleeping bag
Some water and a little bit of food.

I also aim to do a few days around spain and maybe do the camping route there though I might just stay in hotel I am not sure yet, but for now I am looking at places like Scotland and Lake District for a night or two maximum.

Is there any packs for the camera gear to sit in like pads etc for teh bag

or

Should I get a Toploader 55 which are about 22 on Amazon, and attach that to the front of the bag somehow - seen that in pics. Thus, leaving the rucksack for camping gear etc.

If you want a camera bag that works well for camping etc look at the FStop Tilopa BC or Satori, they are built like proper hiking bags and carry really well, but with a padded bit for camera gear. You can choose the size of the camera compartment to either have loads of gear or more space for other stuff.

I've lookeda t images of those, but the capacity looks tiny. Never seen a image of one with tripod, tent, sleeping bag, mat etc. Could easily carrying camera gear in a Toploader, so that's not a problem.
