Wel, I am also on my way looking for a bckapck that would hold rather light 4x5 gear (Tachihara, 2 - 3 lenses, 10 filmholder, small stuff, Tripod with size of Gitzo G1227). Led me add a couple of questions:
1) I got interested in the backapck from the
www.kgear.com called Journeyman P450. Are there any users of this backpack around?
2) How convenient do you find (on ANY backpack) when the tripod is attached not on the side of the backapck, but in the middle ob the rear part of the backpack.
3) COncerning the Kelty backpacks - how do you attach the tripod? (not too many pics on the website)
4) If you have to check-in your gear- whatever way you pack it - do you have it insured separately (how, where)? I do not have experience on this, but the travel company will be probably not willing to pay a coupe of thousands for it once it gets lost.
