I was wondering this today, as well. I wanted to take my XSi, but there was no way that was fitting in the pocket....so camera phone it was. :thumbsup:
Hate packs and never wear them unless forced to.scottvt said:Are you against wearing a pack? There was a thread about this just a couple days ago, but it was regarding different packs....
Well, no not really. But thanks for posting to add nothing to the thread:thumbsup:rockerc said:hating packs must cut down your riding potential some? I dont have any good ideas if you do not want to wear anything like that.
Not trying to give you a hard time, but on really long hot rides, how do you carry enough water along with all the other stuff you might need? I came from a roadie background and have no problem stuffing the jersey pockets full. But after a couple summer rides where I ran out of water, I decided a camelback and sweaty back was a better way to go. Just sayin...DavidR1 said:Well, no not really.

There are several solutions I have come up with. Planning is the major thing. The places I ride the most are public parks/ forest areas. These all have water if you know where to find it. If I'm going on a long, back country excusion that a camelback of some sort is needed.HarryCallahan said:Not trying to give you a hard time, but on really long hot rides, how do you carry enough water along with all the other stuff you might need?

In your case, have you looked at some sort of bar mounted bag for your camera?
For stem mounted, you could use the mountain feedbag. I've got a buddy that'll zip tie his camera case to his top tube as well. Personally, I keep mine in my hip pocket on my osprey pack when I'm wearing it, or on a side thigh pocket on my shorts when I'm not.DavidR1 said:I'm now thinking some sort of stem mounted bag may be the way to go. I would like to attach it to me somehow, but there just doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this and keep the camera somewhat safe.

I'm looking for such a thing. Not sure exactly how it would work out as it would need to be snug to prevent excessive moving around.HarryCallahan said:As to keeping it on your body, how about a shoulder strap, sort of like a bandoleer? That way you could clip the case to your chest, for easy grabs when a photo opportunity came along. I've seen folks clip phones and cameras to the shoulder straps on packs, so this would be similar without the pack.
