Epic Backpack

[Tim Lüdin]

What I use is the LowePro, CompuTrakker to also fit a 17" BBP, for the Epic camera kits single or Double as in the pic below, and the Think Tank for Lenses and other gear.

Hi Ketch

Did you get any problems boarding a plain with your backpacks? Did you get them in as carry ons?
Thanks
Tim

I don't have any Red inside info, however I do have quite reliable OptiTek inside info...:wink5:

Does that info include an Opitek Epic Nikon adapter?

Red needs to see it first and give us their feedback.

Which model Think Tank are y'all using? I need something that I can carry on regional flights in the US and South America.

Brandon, It might also be worth it to reach out to Louis @ Innerspace Cases. He has made hard and soft cases for a long time and his products are top notch. He can customize any bag to meet your standards.

It's a Petrol PD332...Tonaci talked about it in another thread.

I assume most of these backpack systems are carry on approved? This one looks roomy...

had new fastpack 250 last week and after seeing this photo i sold it now cant decide i should buy computrakker or pro runner 350 AW.which one is bigger?

In order to fit the most gear and still be allow as "carry on" I have still found nothing better then the Lowepro CompuTrekker Plus AW Backpack.

No problem on most flights, however some only allow one carry one, so I use the lens bag as carry on, and the Back Pack as "camera bag" as you are allowed to have a camera bag, no weight issues or size really.

I have carried all sizes, again, some Airlines will make a big deal about it, but if you say its your camera Bag, no problem, if it does not fit in the upper compartment or below your seat, then ask to have it stored for you.

I have this exact model too. It's a great bag and you can fit almost anything in there, but it's huge as a result. I had to ride a subway during rush hour wearing this thing a few times, not a very pleasant experience)

I like the fact the backpack comes out, but the straps look weak. How does it feel with your full Epic package? I would love to see more images of Epics & gear in packs so I can get an idea how things fit.
