Bag for 2 gripped cameras

mrcoons

I use 2 cameras most times, a 5d and 7d, both gripped. My largest bag, Tamrac Pro12, will accommodate them but just barely. I was wondering what other folks use in this situation. Any suggestions?

Looks like (for me) the Tamrac 5613 Ultra Pro 13 may be the answer.

Here are the dimensions if anyone is interested in the bag I have and the 5613:
Tamrac 5612 Pro 12
Internal Dimensions: 15 W x 7 D x 8¼ H

Tamrac 5613 Ultra Pro 13
15 1/2 x 7 1/2 x 10 1/2" (39 x 19 x 27cm) (WxDxH)

Check out my review on the ThinkTank Retrospective 10. It can hold 1 gripped camera in the main compartment with lens attached and the second gripped camera in the front pocket

Of course, you'll need a bigger one if you have bigger lenses.

Thanks, looks promising! I'll give it a closer look.

I have a Lowepro Steaht 650 or something, I forget which but it's the biggest one they make in the Stealth line. I don't even know if they still make that line, but anyways I can hold two tripped bodies, with lenses attached, no problem. Facing down, too, which is something I really like for easy access. Or, I can fit THREE un-gripped cameras, with lenses attached, facing down. :-)


HOWEVER, I'm definitely going to recommend something different altogether. GET A ROLLING BAG. Save your neck / back / shoulders! If this is for work and you NEED two cameras, then chances are you're not tied to a shoulder bag or backpack. I would strongly encourage a rolling bag.

I barely use my Lowepro bag anymore for cameras, it is now my "mobile workstation bag" that holds a massive laptop and hard drives etc. Now, I roll with a rolling bag and a small shoulder bag that is just for lenses and small un-gripped bodies.

Just my personal experience!

That thought had occured to me and I had the Kata Pro-Light FlyBy-74 Rolling Case on my short list.

I use the Temba Shootout Small. In the main compartment when I travel, I'm able to pack a Mark IV, 7D Gripped, 16-35 2.8, 24-70 2.8, 50 1.4, 135 2.0, one 580EX II, 2 spare 7D batteries, 1 spare Mark IV battery, 2 Lee 4x6 filters, Giottos large blower, Canon RS 80N3 remote & 1 Stoffen Omni bounce. In the two side pockets, I'm able to store an Expodisc WB filter, CF card case & a Cokin Z-Pro filter holder. What I like most about this bag is that that the zippers are waterproof & it doesn't scream, "I'm holding expensive camera gear." I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.
