The problem?

I ride this trike, to which I added hand cranks, and which restrict your activities, movement, etc--it's easy to get "tangled up!!"

This was taken when I had the Xt, and it normally got carried behind my left hand in the little bag. I've since tied a larger bag which allows the 40D and at least a 28-135 to ride in there. It is VERY slow if you see something "interesting." A young girl waltzing down the sidewalk can quickly disappear while I'm argueing with that thing. Likewise, a bird, a plane, a........

I need a way to have the camera more "quick draw ready" and I'm thinking of some sort of over the shoulder bag, that ....

I can carry over the shoulder

CAN SWITCH SIDES of my body

or can "rig" on part of the bike to save my shoulder

I now have a 40D, the biggest lens I have is a 100-400L

ideas? Thanks

Thanks. I sent them an email. I'm not sure the 100-400L will fit--the hood OD is rather large.

Anyone else?

Thanks for the help, just ordered a "Digital Holster 30" for 69.00 plus shipping. I'll try to post back with the conclusion. I didn't (yet) buy any accessory bags or belts with it. Everything I do is low budget, I'll first go through my "junk" and see if I can integrate some of what I have
