The perfect backpack for a few members here on Nikonites

The funny thing is it doesn't really look bigger than my tamrac expedition 8x! Lol I can put three bodies with grips and about the same amount of lenses in it! Lol :D
But I don't wear mine so much as store my gear in it! Lol If I actually wanted to carry a backpack with me, I'd use my tamrac expedition 5! It will hold a couple bodies with grips and 4-6 lenses! :)

I'd be afraid that if I sat down with that thing on (or worse, fell over), that I'd never be able to get back up. I'd look like a turtle stuck on my back.

Elvis AND all of his donuts would fit in that thing, and there would still be room for an emergency efficiency apartment if you got stuck out on the road...

Here is a photo(not by me) of the inside of the Tamrac expedition 8x! :)

I saw this review this morning and couldn't imagine having enough equipment to fill this thing. @gqtuazon , Glenn I think this might be the one for you.

Tempting. :eek:

I agree with his final conclusion. Quote: [h=3]Final thoughts[/h] I don't think I would take this backpack on a long hike in the woods, UNLESS, I needed multiple cameras and a bunch of lenses and tripods. In that case, I would absolutely take this bag.

In my case, I would carry my Pelican which helps out because of the wheels and when you get tired, you can use it to sit on top of it regardless of your weight. :eek:

They should make detachable all terrain wheels for it and a suitcase like retractable handle...

Now that would make it useful and I could see doing that. Some kids on my sons baseball team have that type of setup for their baseball bags, which is really pretty cool. It does add a little weight but not much. This way if you had a good surface you could give you back a little break.

When I first saw this I thought it was a parody, like the ones of "NEW BIGGER iPHONES" Photoshopped to be bigger than the guy carrying it. :)

I can handle the weight, but my feet are the first to go. Neck, back pain come the next day. Bags like this are for the young or those who cared for their bodies like a temple in their twenties - no smokes, no booze, no drugs.
