Default Re: backpack question from a newbie

Quote:
Do photographers who travel like this wrap or encase their lenses and camera bodies before fitting them between the divider inserts in situations like these? I have a selection of RoadWired wraps for mine but they take up a lot of space. Should I just put in glass and bodies all naked, so to speak?
You're putting the camera and lenses in the Kata backpack, right? I'd just carry them naked; the dividers should provide sufficient protection if you're careful. If you're going to overstuff the bag by stacking stuff on top of each other, then use wraps and cases on the stuff being stacked..

Just be aware of how you set the bag down. I was traveling with a backpack that was well-padded on three sides with less-padding on the side that opens, and of course that's the side the bag tips when it gets knocked around while I'm trying to get everything onto the conveyor belt........... ><


Have you thought of trying one of the ThinkTank roller bags?
