Flip side won't be deep enough for a 1d. It will fit, but alot of stress on the zip.

Trust me it works fine.

LR4 Beta Edit...

^ How do you like the LR4 Beta, Jay? Intuitive from the previous version?

Pretty much but there are some adjustment handles that are quite "Viveza-esque" that may frustrate some at first. For example, the chrome ring inside the cowl is nearly invisible in the original. Now, in Viveza, you could make Shadow Adjustments and some Structure tweaks to pull those details out. LR4 gives you similar adjustments without the need for a 3rd party plug in.

I'd call it a worthwhile upgrade. Oh, and it also gives you rudimentary adjustments for video as well.

It can fit in a Flipside 300 without problem - it you move the zippered bag the top section is deep enough to allow this.

I busted my zip twice with the ungripped body spacer removed.. So bought a pro runner 350. Only commented due to my own experience.

It may not have been the 1d alone, it was packed with 2 580's, 70-200 is2, 50 1.2, 85 1.2, 17-40, 500d, 17-85, plus other small bits. Everything above fits in the pro runner without stress on any zips. In saying that, the gripped 500d never broke any zips.

Nice shot, butch!

Jay, the plane is a great pic!

Couple sharp ones there,

I am looking for a bag to hold the 1dIII with a 24-105mounted w/hood attached, a 70-200 2.8 IS II, and a 580exII, and miscellaneous stuff.

Any pointers? I've looked around in the accessory sections, but no real help for me. (232 views, no responses) I guess none of you guys or gals peruse the accessory section…


I have looked at the retrospective 20, the Domke f2, and some other bags, but those are the contenders right now. What do ya'll use for short excursions?

Thanks!

That is a good amount of weight for one shoulder, I personally am a backpack fan.

Have you looked at Crumpler 6 and 7 million dollar home?

Yeah, but from what I've seen in pictures and read by others, it seem they have an abundance of padding. I've seen many posts by individuals stating the padding is so thick it actually wastes room available in the bag.

I'm not necessarily going to be carrying it on my shoulder much at all. This is a bag to sit in my vehicle when i drive around or it will ride on a stroller when the family and I go out.

I have several bags but my favorite when on the go is the Domke J-1. I typically carry a 1D Mark III with 70-200 f/2.8L attached, 24-70mm f/2.8L, 17-40mm f/4L, and a 580EX II in the main compartment. In one side pocket I carry a Dynalite Jackrabbit Pack II and off-camera cord. In the front pockets I pack a light meter and X-Rite ColorChecker Passport. I carry flat items like a "black foamie thing", Westcott Illuminator 24" reflector, and a Joe Demb Big Bouce card and diffuser in the rear pocket. The other side pocket is sometimes empty and I reserve it for the times when I need to carry an extra flash or other accessories like wireless triggers. There's also a huge pocket in the top flap but I generally don't use it. Just make sure you get the compartment inserts to match what you want to carry.

The contents are quite heavy but I've added the Domke Post Office Shoulder Pad so its very comfortable and I can carry it for very long periods. The trick to using shoulder bags is to carry it on one shoulder, then switch the strap to across the chest when shooting so the bag is opened and at ready on my right hip. Its also comfortable to carry across the chest so the weight is distributed but that isn't always possible. To me this represents the best compromise to carrying a backpack which isn't very convenient for most of the shooting I do.

Would the Flipside 400 be too big for a 1d, 24-70, 70-200, and flash?

Ok then, can you recommend me a bag that can take 1D3 and 300 f2.8IS? I recommend a hard case with roller, and if same hard case bag can carry beside 1D3+300 also my 1D2n + 70-200 2.8mk1, i am open to all recommendations.

Sunshine makes picture taking much easier! I''m about to go shoot my niece for her senior pictures. It's overcast, cold, and I shoot cars. This will be fun.
