I'm going to seem very amateurish, but I picked up my monopod for only a tenner from Amazon. Now, it's not a Manfrotto. It's actually not any sort of known brand. It has no quick release. It isn't made from carbon fibre. It doesn't even have a removable head. But it's a tenner. Comes with a bag...

Well...I did it. Headed out to the Warehouse Express Showroom in Norwich on Monday, they had the bag on display. I tried it out. Brought some lenses. Fell in love with it! Here is my very quick review of the bag, with some very cruddy photos (since the bag is being carted back to my house...

Aha, bubble wrap I was thinking too, but it's hardly the most elegant of solutions!

Lovely, the mini tripod case I got fits the lens absolutely perfectly. It's a little too loose in there however; is there anything I can use as extra padding? Ian: Lovely, but I'd like to fit other things in it too! coldpenguin: Does look like a nice bag, actually. I'll go look into it a bit...

Hey, the lens is 400 mm long. Not too sure on the idea of the camera around my neck. I want to go hiking with my gear; something around my neck would be very uncomfortable and would definitely get in the way. That's the idea of having a rucksack in the first place. As I said, I really hate...

Hello guys! First time poster here. I'll jump straight to the question; I'm looking for a camera rucksack which is relatively cheap (around £150, but ideally below) and is able to fit quite a few lenses, including my absolutely monstrous 400mm telephoto which is around 40 centimetres (15...
