Photo Runner Camera Bag: ideal for one DSLR body and a zoom or
prime attached, plus one additional small prime lens. The Photo Runner
is applicable for photojournalism, traveling, hiking, cycling, where
only a small kit is needed.
My Experience
I tested this bag in some of the most extreme dusty conditions. I
spent a week in Nevada in the dusty desert, filling the Photo Runner
bag with a Canon EOS 30D with a 24-70/2.8L lens attached, and a Sigma
30mm/1.4. The bag held up well. Although dusty on the
outside, the zippers and durable ripstop fabric sealed the camera from
dust and the elements while inside the bag. I was also able to quickly
put the camera back in the waistpack. As an extra precaution, I also
used a plastic ziplock bag to further protect the camera from dust
when in use. Even though carrying minimal weight, I would have to
cinch the waistbelt tighter to prevent too much bouncing around of the
bag when walking or moving around.
For small photojournalism projects/assignments, this bag allows
discreet and comfortable transport, although when traveling, you may
be mistaken for a tourist with a fanny pack. I can also access my
camera more easily than if I were to use a backpack or shoulder bag.
The size of the bag forces you to transport less equipment, thus less
weight.
