Hey dudes. I'm looking to purchase a backpack to neatly sort and transport my camera gear safely. The following will be in my bag now/future.

Camera body

24-70mm

16-35mm

50mm

70-200mm

As for a backup body I'll have a sling for it.

So what are you guys' suggestions?

Thanks!
 
Guru for sure. Their really legit bags. I'm probably going to pick one up at some point when I have the cash.
 
FSTOP but they're seriously lagging on orders. New Loka orders said April ship date and now they say completely cancelled. I ordered mine on December 6th and I still haven't received it.

Tilopa shows shipping now though.

 
solid choice if you can afford it.

Another option is to just buy the ICU and get a climbing pack which you can open from both sides. I personally use a Dakine and can't really complain (got it for free, otherwise I'd be using the stated recommendation). But once again, f-stops are unbeatabe if you can afford them.
 
Dakine bags are solid. For my 7D I used the mission photo bag for shoots I didn't need as much stuff. In most cases I use the Reload.

 
MountainSmith Borealis AT pack. That's what i have. You can fit so much in it!

you have a SICK lens set up btw.fstop, or the dakine mission photo would hold everything you have very comfortably. wouldnt have much room for expansion in the dakine, but a solid pack nevertheless.
 
to add but not to steal thread, what about a camera like the canon Ax-H1 plus a canon 7d with some lenses and can hold BC gear(shovel, probe)?
 
I have F-Stop's Tilopa BC, and I use it for everything: BC skiing for the day or up to a weekend, and with general trips I can fit everything I need for a few days in it. I have the Large ICU which makes the pack keep it's form, but you can fill it with clothes or food if you don't bring all your camera gear, taking advantage of partitions. It's straps compress everything down nicely when it's not completely full, but is probably on the larger side if you only want it for cruising around town for the day. Lastly, I've flown all over with the thing and have never had any problems whatsoever carrying it on.
 
I personally have a Satori and Loka(for stobes) with an ICU and I can fit the majority of my setup in there. Have some issues with the Satori not fitting in carry on mostly on small planes. Love them both but I am considering switching my main pack to Clik because of the major weight I carry (30-50lbs) and the shape of the pack and the side entry as well. I know a bunch of people who use both and you can't go wrong with either.
