A Camera Bag for Adventurers

By Sara Sheehy Ranked #1024 - Luggage June 13, 2008

I searched and searched for a camera bag that was made for someone who actually takes their camera gear into the backcountry and wants to be comfortable. The DaKine Sequence is the best I found, and almost perfect. My favorite parts: nice wide hip belt to hold weight, removable camera block, tripod fits in the ski harness, deep enough for a Nikon D300 with grip (or a D3) and tele-zoom (ample room for a tele-prime), convenient and well thought out pockets, relatively bombproof, opens on the back panel (heavenly!). My wish list: better padding and suspension (oh Osprey, when will you make a camera pack?!?), a tad more room for extras (lunch, rainjacket), lighter overall weight (camera gear is heavy enough as it is), a bit narrower so it would fit under the seat on the airline. I agree with the reviewer above, there isn't room for a bigger laptop. However, I don't have much need to take a laptop in the backcountry, so I don't miss that. If you're looking to take your big and heavy camera gear in the woods, and you still want to feel your arms and shoulders by the end, this is a great pack.
