Tamrac Adventure 9 Vs Lowepro Compurover

[zeva]

Ive been looking for a nice backpack for a while and both of these seem pretty nice but i am not sure any suggestions?I am big so i think that i would need the larger bag but i cant really tell which one would fit me better. I currently have
20D
70-200 f/4
17-40 F/4.
If anyone could get a picture of these together it would be greatly appreciated!

Was also wondering if the compurover has a tripod holder. also, Ive i saw right, both of these bags have half for the camera half for other stuff such as lunch, jacket etc...?

Thanks for your help!

I also have the Adventure 9. I find it great - but it is big!!

[zeva]

Hmm crap its heavy! haha i only have 20D 430ex 70-200 17-40 3 CF cards 1 Notebook HD sd600 sd 1000 and a laptop haha its really heavy....

gotta say though i hate the mesh pockets they arent very good :( too small and no buckle to even attatch a tripod

[Crossfire]

Yeah, don't use the mesh pockets myself other than to put the waist straps into them. I really like the 9 though because at first glance you would not pick it as a camera bag.

Hmm also what is this popoff pocket for lol what is it used for o_0

LOL you reckon your kit is heavy. I walked all over Europe for a month with my Adventure 9 holding 30D, 24-70/2.8 brick, 70-200/2.8 IS bigger brick, 10-22, 430EX, and misc bits and pieces. I came back looking like a body builder. Served its purpose though and don't regret buying it. Maybe next time I wouldn't travel with 70-200 coz I didn't use it at all :(

lol i think mine might be heavier... :P laptop is 10 lbs haha
