- I use a Lowe-Pro Mini-Magnum, lashed onto my pack (a North face BackMagic).
- The Mini holds a body with a (long) lense mounted, plus two additional
- lenses (body, whatever) adjacent to that, and has a zippered pocket on the
- front. The case has a normal, wide strap, but also has nylon webbing sewn
- onto the back, so that the case can be mounted on a belt. I use this with
- some climbing webbing to attach it to my pack frame. It's outside the pack,
- so nothing has to be unpacked to get at the gear. Lash a tripod to the side
- of the pack (or frame).
