I'm looking at getting a new backpack for filming and I haven't really been able to find one that works for me. I want quick access to my camera and lenses, the ability to strap a tripod on, and I need it to be waterproof. I also need to be able to carry my back country equipment and strap my skis onto it. Any suggestions?

I have had my Dakine backpack with a built in camera block for four years now. It kicks ass you have easy access to your camera and all your lense/mounts/camera shit that you need. I have a pretty hefty Manfrotto tripod that is easily strapped onto the back pack and I have also strapped shovels, skis, and pretty much anything you would need onto it. I have taken the backpack with me on a countless number of trips and its held up like a champ. I just found it on Dakine's website its called the Mission Photo 25L backpack. As far as waterproofing goes if you jump in a lake with it your stuff would get wet. With that said I have tomahawked off of cliffs and had the backpack sit in slushy snow for hours and all of my camera gear stayed safe and totally dry. Hope this helps, I obviously love the pack and fully endorse it.

My fstop tulips can onstantly surprises me with how badass it is.

I get a big body, tele, zoom, three primes, two flashes and batteries in along with either everything I need to ski, pants, jumper, thermals, socks hats etc... Or everything I need for a day's touring. 100% worth the price.

ive heard f stop is really good

ive been looking into getting a camsafe bag, the ones w/ locks and shit so it cant get stolen. does anyone ever use these? and leave their bags on the slopes chained to a tree, seems like a clever idea but idk how good it really is
