opinions on a good bag

[Matt Fleming]

Heya,

Any feedback/opinions on a good, small travel bag for an Epic/Scarlet (or even my R1) and 2-3 PL lenses plus misc. acessories? Something that could work for a barebones, one-man location shoot using available light. I'm not worried about major protection, this bag will never leave my side (never be checked on an airline) and will be pampered. With so many choices out there and new ones popping up...wanted to get some sage Red User advice.

Cheers,
-Matt

If you don't need a rollerbag (rolling trolley takes up storage space and adds a bit of weight), the Think Tank Airport Addicted v2.0 is maximum carry on size on most airlines and carries a LOT. Strap system is OK for short distances, but not the best for long wilderness hikes! Lowepro Computrekker AW Plus holds almost as much and has a brilliantly comfortable strap system - it's only con is a tripod holder pouch that just doesn't work well - but it's designed for small photographic tripods anyway which is irrelevant for Red cameras. Steve Gibby swears by a large Tamrac backpack - I forget which model. All of them come with adjustable dividers, although the Think Tank comes with more dividers than usual.

KATA HB207 backpack has been a Godsend.
Fantastic bag , might be a little tight W/ R1 but we have carried on
100's of times with a very similar equipment list.

+1 for the Think Tank Airport Addicted v2.0

Great when you travel - but also great when you work several locations by yourself or a very small crew. You can have everything camera related in one bag, that folds out and gives easy access to the most often used tools - and can be quickly wrapped up for the next set up.
