tripod and. . . . . . .

[jenbrads]

Hi everyone! Im on a spending spree today. . .finally made up my mind on my lens (70-200 f/4.0 L IS USM) but now i need a new tripod and bag.
Both items have to be capable of holding this lens and my canon 400d.

I have seen a Manfrotto MN 785 maxi for £52, is this any good? I need something that will pack up small and light as I ride a motorbike and cant lug stuff around.
Also a rucksack that will fit in my camera and lenses. . . . . maybe even fit the tripod in?
Any help would be appreciated. x

I have the same camera and lens and have just bought the Lowepro Minitrekker AW. It will fit the camera with lens attached and maybe 4 shorter lenses. It has a rain cover and tripod mount ....

i have the mini trekker AW and it's a very good racksack styled camera bag...you'll have no problem getting a lot of kit in it plus your tripod on the external carrier..

i've not seen the MN 785 maxi,so can't comment...but the 190 XPROB with 804RC2 is an excellent combo,and well worth the £135 they cost IMHO

nice purchase by the way
