The information on my site is not always travel specific. The Moleskin notebook and "pockets" are great for many uses. Taping your gear, to me , is just a logical way to not lose any items at home or on the road. <BR/><BR/>i should be adding my 5Ds before the wedding season begins (after Canon announced a 5D MkII and the used market for 5D bodies gets flooded with low cost 5D bodies!). <BR/><BR/>Happy Flying!<BR/><BR/>-Fishflyingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916846751892643652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-38054847535722799292008-01-20T11:41:00.000-08:002008-01-20T11:41:00.000-08:00Great blog,thanks for all the tips,all though I am...Great blog,thanks for all the tips,all though I am not a big flyer I have nicked a few of your ideas the Moleskine pockets and putting tape on body and lens caps being just a couple !

It takes some practice, but once you get used to it, it's quite simple. <BR/><BR/>I have tried the ThinkTank bags, I love ThinkTank and their products. I think ThinkTank is one of the best manufacturers out there in terms of quality and customer service. I have been using the Airport Addicted backpack for three years and love it. <BR/><BR/>As for using the ThinkTank waist packs, they do not work for me, nor do the pouches. I choose to use the Mountainsmith Tour pack, and the Newswear Pouches, because they lay flat when empty. By using bags/pouches that are very unstructured when empty I can gain considerable space when packing these items, or lashing them to the outside of a bag. <BR/><BR/>For my uses I find the Mountainsmith Tour has some other advantages as well, such as the adustable tension straps to adjust the height and depth of the bag when on me. This is something that makes wearing the Mountainsmith Tour more comfortable than any "photo specific" bag out there. <BR/><BR/>Hope that answered the question. <BR/><BR/>Happy Flying!<BR/><BR/>-Fishflyingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916846751892643652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-56192068567447980692008-01-20T01:57:00.000-08:002008-01-20T01:57:00.000-08:00wow.. you can hold a reflector in one hand and bot...wow.. you can hold a reflector in one hand and both cameras in the other ! ;-)<BR/><BR/>i use a lot of thinktank 'modulus' belt gear that works in similar ways... have you tried it ? their "changeup" bag looks at a glance very similar to the mountainsmith bag you talk about here (although i've not tried it).<BR/><BR/>www.sportsshooter.com/jmfotoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
