Camera Backpack

gary in nj · Apr 17, 2017

I'm just finishing up a custom motorcycle project; a cafe racer. I'm excited to photograph my bike in unique settings. I'm looking for a good padded backpack to hold a few cameras (XD11 & DSLR) that to isn't to bulky that I wish I didn't have it with me. The other issue I've had with backpacks and motorcycles is that with a leather riding jacket, I have a very hard time getting the correct arm-swing to get a packpack into position.

Are there any motorcyclists here that can recommend a good packpack?

This may not be what you are thinking of but have you thought of a 'tank bag' and you make your own custom foam inserts.
For what it is worth I am the big fan of classical tank bags, may be more of a continental or European thing but it works. Look for the tank bag that converts into the backpack? Second suggestion may be the large messenger bag, over one shoulder.
May I suggest Aerostitch as a source?

I do like tank bags. I have a magnetic tank bag. But I just spent too much money having this tank painted...no tank bags will be used.

I use a LowePro Slingshot 200AW when riding. Carries a body2-3 lenses,flash,film and other sundries comfortably. Think I paid $70 US for it. Been updated since I got mine.My daily ride is an Aprilia Tuono if that helps.

here's the new one

Yeah that is a nice bag. Is that just a single arm sling?

Yes but it has a stabilizing strap that secures it well. I ride fast in the mountains and never has it concerned me.

The Crumpler Karachi Outpost, looks great and has a double front lock that will prevent the camera to move or be some kind of "parachute", it also have some kind of "vintage" look that will match your bike!
