Anyone know of a bag to carry a 5Dc gripped + 24-70 and the 60D gripped with a 70-200 f4 attached? Lens hood in shooting position if possible. I don't need to carry anything else, currently I use the crap outta my Flipside 300 and love it but can only accommodate 1 body at a time. :S

Flipside 400AW? I fit my 5d2 with lens attached and 7D with 100-400 attached plus everything else you see in my sig, plus all my lee filters, chargers, netbook, rocket blower, sling strap, lens hoods etc etc

Think it should fit your kit as the 70-200 must be of a similar size?

Can you show me a photo you have my hopes growing again! Please?

ok ill go take one and post it up

Sorry my powershot s90 got water damaged last weekend so I had to take this pic with my phone.

There are a few things not in the bag which normally are (A few lens hoods and some other bits and bobs). The lee filters and net book are in the outside front pocket. The inside pocket on the lid you can see is also full of stuff. I can fit everything i own in this bag. I love it.

just pressed confirm at a Crumpler New Delhi 770. I wonder if my gear fits in

Thanks Eddie, I'm gonna try shifting my tabs around like yours and see what I get - I'll update when the 5D in my hands too...I think you just saved me some $$$ by not investing in another bag.

It was actually this thread that made me realise I could move the tabs about to suit my needs and make things fit, it hadn't crossed my mind before. In this configuration the 7d comes out no probs whatsoever, the 5d only needs a slight rotation then it lifts out at an angle (I.e you can't lift it straight up due to the flap of the bag) but its not an issue, only takes a second to get it out

What I like most about it is that you have almost the ideal setup I was going to have in the end (same amount of lenses and bodies w/ the flash!). I just wanted to be able to carry my back up bodies around because I either have a back up shooter with me or I maxed out one of my memory cards quickly. LOL

Does it get too tiresome to carry or do you feel really comfy?

The bag is comfy on and even with all my gear in it its not too heavy. I've not had it on for an extended time yet though but will be taking it on a safari in April in east Africa. Ill weigh it all tonight to give you an indication of pack weight. Also there is a good tripod attachment on the bag too and a rain cover.

my lowpro 400AW is amazing took it to germany and austria this winter for snowboarding. i will have to get a few pictures up. i can fit all of my equipment in there except obviously studio lights haha. only problem is even when the body straps are straped to your stomach my shoulders still hurt, and it was only half full. it was hard for me carrying it for 30 minutes at a time :/

Then I'd say you should adjust the shoulder straps, so the weight rests on your hips and not on your shoulders ...

^ I was going to say the same thing. I had the same problem with my Lowepro 450 AW, but I played with all the straps until it was comfy. Now I go on hikes for up to 6 hours no problem. Just get your straps adjusted properly.

thanks guys, so more tight around waist and less tight around shoulders?

Is the flipside properly designed to distribute the load to the hip belt?

Keep in mind to get proper weight distribution you need a frame pack. The waist belt on a photo back pack will keep the pack from shifting or bouncing and help distribute some weight but will not work the same as the frame packs shown in the REI website.
