Awesome =) thanks man. My girl friend has a bad ass nikon, I just have a kodak that gets the job done. I haven't posted any of her pics yet but will soon I'm sure. That Pelican case does look sexy, (xmas sexy me thinks hehe). Looks like you should be hand cuffed to it~ nuke code style haha. Can you get a tripod in it? Hell if I can get my full size maglight in there too I'm sold.... thought I DO like carrying my mag light in my deep back pockets secured in my belt. It just makes me feel safer in some places having that skull-cracker at arms reach ya know? haha
|
a tripod or a mag light wont fit in there, but there's much better and smaller flashlights that will. the inside dimensions are approximately 12x9x5 and the outside 13x12x6

That works, the maglight I like to keep on me anyway unless I'm sliding down hills or waterfalls. I suppose next round of student loans I should invest in some newer LED stuff... still, that big mag is the closet you can get to walking around with an aluminum baseball bat lol and it's multipurposed =p I don't think I'll ever give that up hehe I like this case though, plenty of spare room for cell phones if it rains

| | | Posted by JediMindTrixR4Kidz ^this is pretty much what I do lol if there is water around at least. Cell phone n all that gets bagged as many times as I have bags for. If not, I have my 'crappy' kodak c813 8.2MP stringed to my lanyard around my neck, inside my shirt if climbing or getting rough, if not just hanging on the out side of my shirt. Ziplocks wrapped in a teeshirt ftw though =p

| | | I've had a bit of success with an old Gamecube travel bag. It's got a relatively large capacity for a bag that fits in the small of your back, also it has a velcroed, lidded compartment in the base, and two elastic straps inside to hold drinks,tripods, zoom lenses in place. ALSO, it has a relatively hard outer fabric that has survived a few trips through razor wire. And it's water resistant. Maybe you can find one cheap somewhere?

| | | What I like to do when it comes to draining is to get my Dry Bag and toss my camera in its case into the bag and sling it behind my back, or push it in front of me.

| | | Oh man, I'm a huge fan of Pelican Cases, nothing comes close. I pitched mine off a two story building, watched it bounce, and opened it to all my camera gear safe and sound. Trust me, worth it. But if you dont want to carry a case around, I recommend Temba backpacks. The videos on their site are fairly stupid, but the bags are rugged. Water-resistant (rubber protected & sealed) zippers, waterproof shell, and nicely padded interior.
I've explored with kids that dont protect their gear at all, but they are mindful not to do anything foolish either. Always aware of where the camera is, and sure to keep it protected.

| | | Bring most of the crap you intend on bringing with you on explores to a trusted local camera shop with a decent bag/case selection. Tell the guy you like to do outdoor and cave photography, see what he recommends and then try out a bunch of bags, packs and as suggested, cases. I personally use a Lowepro sling bag for easy explores and for more difficult stuff I use a neoprene body cover for the camera and throw that and the rest of the gear in a Camelback havoc pack. Everything fits inside including my tri-pod and supplies. What might work for others may not for you. Finding the perfect camera bag for you is a very individual thing and can take some trial and error.

| | | Posted by Phelonius My lowepro bag has heaps of padding in it. It's big and bulky though. But it does protect my camera when i go out.
|
I stuff my Lowepro bag (AW 100 I think) into my backpack and just carry my tripod. That way I have all my UER stuff and camera in one bag. It works because the lowepro bag is fairly small.

| | | I put my Nikon D3000 inside a modified Lowepro Nova Mini, I just used bathroom tile caulk to add thick plastic sheets to the inside, with a zipper scavenged from broken scuba gear, making it water (proof?) resistant.

| | | I have a couple of cases for my camera depending on the site I'm going to. For tame places (houses, ruins, etc.) I use my Lowepro Ridge 10 case, which you can get at Best Buy for a decent price (it's a run of the mill case really). When I'm venturing somewhere a little more hard core (factories, drains, asylums, etc) I use my Pelican 1050 Micro case, it's awesome and a decent price on Amazon or even eBay. I keep my camera in my JanSport backpack I've had since college lol, I travel in style. I don't have a full tripod yet for my camera, but whenever I do get one I have a shoulder sling in mind that can strap to my backpack or fit over my shoulder.

| | | My tripod hangs over my shoulder in the bag it came with, shredded to pieces by exploring. My camera relaxes on top of my respirators in a camouflage backpack from Goodwill that says Anthony G. embroided on the back.

| | | I have a D3000, with exactly the same form factor as the D3100, and i just throw it into a Lowepro Nova Mini when i'm climbing (so it doesn't hit ladder rungs etc.) and throw it over my back when i'm just wandering. I've seen camera armor, (never for the D3100 though), and although it's pricey, it might be nice to have for more dangerous adventures. Make sure you put a UV filter on your lens. Add a cheap 52mm to 58mm adapter to the front of the lens for some extra space between the lens. [edit: damn, another double post. ] [last edit 2/2/2012 6:11 PM by TeePER - edited 1 times]

| | | I've got just a small around-the-midsection bag. My camera's a simple point-and-shoot Canon, so it doesn't take up much space. I also recently purchased a water-resistant neck-bag for draining from now on. The decision to purchase it came after I wound up chest-deep in freezing water back in December.
Purchase waterproof/resistant bags before you need 'em, guys. Otherwise, you get to learn an expensive lesson.
