Recommend me a BIG camera bag

[combat squirrel]

I currently use a Tamrac ADVENTURE 9, which is ideal for general use where you take your camera, but when I go out to do 'proper photos' or to a hired job its far to small, I just litterally get everything in now by cramming it in every available spot in the bag, which aint good for some lenses.

I need a bag that is a rucksack (won't stick out like a sore thumb to much if im leaving a club and have to walk to my car...so no big metal box type camera bags etc) will comfortably fit:

Canon 1D MK3
Canon 5D MK2 Gripped
24-70 L
70-200L IS
24mm F1.8
50mm F1.4
100mm F2
17-35 F2.8-f4
2 x 580EX II speedlights
Range of spare batteries, chargers, (2 pouches about the size of a speedlight flash)
Microphone
bunch cables
laptop
ipad


Yeah quite alot....

So I guess the biggest 'sensible' rucksack there is...whats out there? as I have nooo idea

Thanks

EDIT: Maybe a Tamrac Expedition 9x will hold all that ?

I have the Tamrac Expedition 9x and looking at your list of equipment, you shouldn't have a problem fitting it all in. Its a huge bag but comfortable to carry.

Hope this has been of some help.

Yup thanks thread redundant now just found a non used 2nd hand 8x on ebay - got the 8 as it should all fit and has a laptop section which the 9x doesnt :/

For anyone else looking for a huge camera bag I recommend the FStop Gear Satori EXP, I'm off back packing in Central America with it soon (set up for minimal camera gear and loads of spare space).

I have Lowepro Sling Camera Bag. This is a great pack if you have multiple bodies OR more than 2 lenses and a Flash. If you have less equipment, go for the 202, or the 101. Same concept and quality, smaller sizes.

I needed a pack that I can use to transport equipment through city streets or on long trails easily as a backpack and be able to access it within seconds without having to put it down. I need to be able to change lenses and bodies on the run. This pack allows me to do so perfectly and has an excellent build quality.

I love the features like the over-all rain cover you can pull over it (or stash), the built-in (and also stashable) micro-fiber, and the out-of-the-way tripod holder. The pack is very versatile, and works great for me with 2 bodies (5D and 7D) even though it's not advertised that way. My largest lens is an f/4 70-200 (IS), and it is nicely accommodated on or off the camera in this bag.
