Lowepro Omni Trekker

It's an excellent combo with the Pelikan case so I can transport the gear about every where with no problem. I used it in canioning and fast rafting full with MF equipment. No problem the gear is safe in there. After long trekking under rain, I was a little worried because the case don't have an additional rain cover like other bags. An for longer trekking, the carry system is not very confortable. All in one it is still a great bag especially with the Pelikan. I would buy it again, no doubt.

Robust and well built. Changes from a crriing bag to a backpack like a James Bond tool.

Does not look realy waterproof on heavy rain. The tipod fixation get loose after a while (I lost one in the end) and is not realy usable for a big tripod.

Never used

I've an F100 with a 28-80 f2.8, a 80-200 f2.8, a 200-400 tele, a bigger flash, and a pile of smaller accessories. No room for my Bogen with the nice head, but that fits well into a compact bag that in turn straps well to the outside. The three different carry harnesses (baggage handle + shoulder strap + nice backpack harness) makes it great for dragging around. Good protection and functionality at a good price.

Well thought out, multiple access paths, good (and changeable) layout, three different carry harnesses, well made, well padded, lots of room.

None that I can think of.

A well thought out camera bag. This bag can carry my Nikon kit which includes a 400mm 5.6 AF, 70-200mm 2.8 zoom, 18mm, 24mm, 105 2.8 micro, sb26 flash, a turbo battery pack, Nikon n90s, coolpix 950, 2X Tele lens for coolpix, 10 filters (52-82mm) Iomega click drive 10 memory disks, and a Gitzo G1 weekender tripod. With room left over for my Sony laptop. I do a lot of photography on location, which means lots of travel. The Omni Trekker can carry all my equipment as a carry on.

I learned on an international trip to Mexico that if you bag is too big it is taken away from you and placed in the belly of the plane. Because it was my Domke case it looked just like a backpack the baggage handlers just tossed it around. Needless to say I ended up with a cracked 70-210 lens.
The bottom line is that if your bag does not fit in that little box when you board that plane they have the right to take it away from you or you could always take a bus, train, or boat.

The Omni Trekker is small enough to pass as carry–on bag yet big enough to hold a lot of equipment. It has a shoulder strap as well as a backpack harness. The one feature that I like is that the bag does not look like a camera bag. It looks just like a brief case and if you do need hard case protection it fits into a Pelican or Halliburton hard case.

There are D rings on the back side to attach the backpack harness, but by running a strap through them you can now slide the Omni Trekker over the handle of your roller bag. (How many times had your camera bag slipped off you roller case when you hit a bump.)

The Bottom line, this is one camera bag that fits all my needs be it shooting on location or a shake and Grin at a award presentation. This bag is sophisticated enough to fit in a formal setting yet tough to handle the outdoors.

This camera bag has lots of room, fast to use, does not look like a camera bag.
