Hi guys,

I sold my lowepro mini trekker a while ago, 1D isn't big enough anymore.

I'm looking at nature trekker and photo trekker at the moment, i want something that can hold a 400mm f2.8 prime and tri/monopod.

i'm getting a second 1D body, so with two cameras, all lenses listed in my signature, and a portable storage device, which one is more suitable?

thanks for your time!

I'd say that a Photo Trekker or BIGGER!!! is going to be the one. I've got the Nature Trekker and it wouldn't be nearly big enough for the 400. On the other hand I always found that the easiest way to carry my 300 f2.8 was on a monopod and then over my shoulder.

i'm not planning to carry this bag when i'm on the job, but for transportation purpose, i should have specified it clearer.

JLS Photo, thanks for the pm :D

I have the Photo Trekker and it is very big :shock: but I do like it. With the optional day pack there is a great deal of stoarge for other items as well.
Good weight distribution.
Though it would be better if the waist strap was removable like the sholder starps are, but I found that if you strap the waist straps back around the bag they kept out of the way.
