So many useful suggestions! Most will go on my self-gift list. I will temp my wife with her choice of one of the books, all irresistible. BTW, I bought the Z50 kit when first released for compact grab go. Now tempted to upgrade to the Z52. First some further research. This video is a springboard for a lot of further research.
I wish bag companies would make bags for outdoor use instead of focusing on carry-on compliance. I need a bag to fit a 23in torso! That means the shoulder straps need to attach at least at 23.5in, not including the load lifter straps. I’m still using my hiking backpack with an insert because of some bad back problems.
Have you tried a NYA-EVO bag? The 50 and 60 have adjustable shoulder strap positions and I find that they put the wight right on my hips where it belongs. That's why i love them. I"ve been a Backpacker since the 80s and that is critical. It's not my big Gregory, but it's better than any other camera bag ever. Jenson worked designing for Deuter and other big names before founding the company with Mario. (Edit... I just checked and the 60C is far from 23" at the top position. Correct you are. You must be taller than me. I was just on a trip in Switzerland with them though getting a look at protype products. There is something coming that won't be airline compliant you might love, but I can't say more than that. Keep an eye out.)
@ yes, I got a chance to try a friend’s 60. Almost 2in lower than my shoulders for where the straps connect to the bag. Same as my current shimoda 50 and my older F-stop bag that I’m selling off. That’s the problem with making things “carry-on” compatible, it maxes out the frame at 22in. I even have problems finding hiking bags that will fit. My older Gregory 45L will, and so will the newer Osprey XL bag, but most won’t. To be fair, I have an abnormally long torso for my 6’1” height, even after loosing an inch of height from spinal compression in the navy.
@@FieldingSmith Ugghhh, yeah I have one regular workshop participant who's similarly built and finds the same issues. I'll mention this to Jensen as he works on this new prototype larger project. ;-) Keep an eye out.
In search of…..arca plate for telephoto lens with 2 screws for the foot and an extra screw hole for my black rapid camera strap. Or I could do the QD lock, but would need to be able to attach it to current strap
I really prefer the Kirk complete foot replacements. I link them with all the Nikon lenses. This one fits the 70-200 and 100-400. bit.ly/3GX5iVx QD is definitely the way to go. Just grab a Kirk D-QD and clip the BR carabiner into it instead of their threaded PITA dealy. Kirk also makes really nice long lens foot plates with QDs if you are super opposed to the feet. Just look around there. Great people.
Hi Hudson. Was the Lowepro Creator Box you showed with your Z50 kit the Medium or Large? I think I heard you mention both sizes, so I just wanted to make sure before I ordered one for my Z50. Thanks.
