I have the backpack set up to carry two bodies , four lenses ,a flash unit in the main compartment, cords , cards,lens cloths, in the inner pockets and tools ( leatherman,tripod wrench, and such in the outer pocket, and laptop in it's own compartment. Again the monopod or tripod goes on the outside.cwightmanphotos wrote: Depends on the bag you have. Camera bags are made to protect, so no matter how you pack it you should be ok. There are individual padded dividers. Use those for each lens. I have a backpack camera bag. I have my 105mm macro, flash and a portable drive on one side. On the other side I have 18-135mm, 50mm, lensbaby. In the middle is 50-500mm and my camera. Everything else like cards, batteries etc.. are in smaller pockets. Tripod sits on the outside.

It's a Lowepro AW trekker probably a 350 maybe ? My wife bought it for me to carry my gear to the hockey arena so i wouldn't be carrying two bags full of gear ( one for the camera gear one for the 300mm lens and laptop) it works great but it is heavy . I have another Lowepro front carry bag for food ,socks etc. I can wear for those occasions when i need to .cwightmanphotos wrote:

Rob, what kind of bag do you have? It sound pretty big. Mine also has a spot to carry a laptop, of course it's front area for a tripod, two side spots for monopod (and works great for a hiking stick too). I also have a pouch, that sits on top that I carry food and small items of clothing like extra socks. What I love the most about my bag, it carries a bladder for water. When my husband and I bought these bags (he has one too). We loaded mine, put it on my back and I fell over. lol Not kidding. It's heavy (for me anyways). 25lbs. I'm getting used to the weight, but after a couple mile hike it gets heavy. I have the Lowepro Pro trekker 300 aw. Love it, but heavy.
