Lowepro Magnum AW - How do you pack this thing?

[Toogy]

I got this bag and it is pretty HUGE, yet I can't seem to find a decent configuration to hold everything I want.
Anybody have any pics of thiers they would be willing to share?
Here is the way I have it setup

It is holding 20D/grip w/ Tamron 28-75, 580EX, 420EX, 70-200F4, 10-22mm, 50mm 1.8, Gary Fong Bong with 10-22 hood underneath it, VH2000 bracket, & battery charger. In the side pockets are my tripod ring for my 70-200, remote cord, off-shoe cord, the other pocket has my batteries and CF cards.
Now this is all fine, but I also planned on fitting a 300D in here with no lens mounted and a 550EX, but I can't seem to figure out where to put them.
The case is supposed to be able to hold two pro-sized SLRs.

So my mom was wrong then... tetris isn't a waste of time after all.

I was thinking about getting that one. After a few weeks :o of reasearch i finally decided to get the Nature Trekker AW II backpack for going out in the country (wildlife photography) and stick to my Tamrac shoulder bag for regular photo shooting.

The Magnum would have been way to clumsy for me. :rolleyes:

When the ad says you should be able to pack two SLRs in that bag I don't think that they meant two SLRs along with that Stroboframe.
This is how lowepro gets two SLRs in there and there is no room for the Stroboframe then:

I bought Pro Trecker AW to take 2 bodies and 6 lenses, light meter and filters. Can hardley lift it, took it on one hike and it nearly killed me.
Now use 75 toploader AW with chest harness, which will take body with 24-70 L with hood fitted or 70-200 L IS with out hood fitted, and carry a small back pack that takes other body with 100-400 L IS and a couple of lenses.
Find a backpck great against a shoulder bag.

I am having the same problem. I have purchased the Lowepro Rover AW II and I can't get the things in it the way I want. I must have packed and repacked that thing five times. I will get the things I want in that bag by the end of the day even if it kills me! (It just may.) :) :)

This is the reason we should be in camera bag sales...forever searching for (and buying) the one that will hold everything, be comfortable to carry/wear, give quick access to every piece without having others fall out, offer protection against knocks, allow tripod attached, can open without sitting down, can open when sitting down,....

6 bags and counting...

1) one that will hold everything
2) be comfortable to carry/wear
3) give quick access to every piece without having others fall out
4) offer protection against knocks
5) can open without sitting down
6) open when sitting down

Bruford, You almost got it right. Where's the Stroboframe?
Nice clean organization!

Grrrr, in the same books! Wish that image would load. I'll post a pic once I figure mine out.
