Tarmac expedition 7x. My lad has one to take all his photography/video gear. It's huge

Think Tank Airport Accelerator, One body and the 500 would take up one side which should leave room on the other side for the rest of the stuff. I haven't walked any great distance with mine so I cant comment on how comfortable it is on a long hike.

Tamrac Anvil series, the Expedition is discontinued.

If you can find a used Lowepro SuperTrekker then it will swallow that lot with room to spare. Mine takes my 800 F5.6, 300 F2.8, 1DX body, gripped 7D2, 100-400, couple of short zooms, 1 liter flask of Tea (most important!), Wimberley head (normally inside) and loads of bits and bobs. It also has a very comfortable harness system and good tripod mounting system.

Actually, where are you going to be using all this kit?
If carrying it all it's going to be heavy. If not going over rough ground, how about one of the bags with wheels?

LandRover Defender!

Or maybe a slip-through-the-loops add on lens case like THESE?

I once bought a bag that would fit all my gear, used it once because it was pointless, held everything but far too heavy to be practical, and it was nowhere near the weight we're discussing here.

Same thought when considering about the weight carrying all the stuff. Also weight at the airport security to be considered when travelling by plane.

F-Stop
The best ever rucksack i have ever earned.
the way you can modulate the compartment for the gear is gear... through add-on...
most of the time during a day shoot I can bring the gear and some clothes just in case.
I am owning a Tipola
The build quality is great too.

if you are stuck at an airport you can take your gear in the add-on as it happened to me in Australia

I walk for miles across moorlands and venture down to rivers ,quarries etc, I can be out from dawn to dusk , I even camp overnight sometimes , once a bag is strapped to me I am fine with the weight , the weight is not a issue , having the choice of all those lenses for me is so useful , I always have the 500mm and to be honest the 300mm and 400mm are not that heavy .just need the bag to carry the lot .

If you can find one, a Tamrac Expedition 9X is what I'm currently using, designed for large primes with plenty of additional space.




In the middle is a 400mm F2.8 with hood extended and gripped D500 attached always ready to shoot.

Also in there is a gripped D810, 70-200 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8, 105mm Macro, 3x converters, binoculars and tripod repair kit. There would be room for more if I were to retract the hood on the 400!

The replacement for this range since Tamrac was bought out by Gura Gear is the Anvil as mentioned, I have bought one of these as well but it was sent back straight away as the quality and build was nowhere near this one. Found a used Expedition 8X for my landscape kit instead!

It was a terrible decision to discontinue the Tamrac Expedition line of backpacks. I appreciate that Gura Gear now own Tamrac but they should have kept the Expedition line as they were/are superb. Silly people![emoji848]
