Part One - Concept
Since acquiring the RB67, the thought of hiking with 6-7 pounds of camera around my neck seemed a bit daunting. But I also knew from experience that the ability to quickly access the camera while hiking is key. Otherwise, the opportunities simply pass by, since it is so much work to stop, unpack, setup and compose, only to find the shot not that interesting.But, the challenge was accepted, and I started building a few hiking kits.
My goals were to make it easy to access the gear, but also make it comfortable while hiking. My proposed solutions were a Think Tank belt system for shorter hikes, and for casual photo walks, and a few top load case inserts for my Kelty hiking pack.
Parts are starting to arrive, so as the kits are assembled and tested I will report back. Stay tuned...
