Nice video..thanks
Very nice film, also the other one with the equipment, thanks a lot. I recently bought a titanium gravel bike to make this possible too, only Chamonix 4x5 thus far.
I did buy the Surley BigEasy...so far just 5x7.

If you're planning to use your bike for photography, it's a good idea to think about bicycle insurance. It can protect you in case something unexpected happens, like theft or damage. In the UK, there's a company called Sundays Insurance that offers coverage for cyclists. You can check them out at this link: https://sundaysinsurance.co.uk/. I know insurance isn't the most exciting topic, but it's worth considering to keep your bike and gear safe.
Nicholas Nixon did that ( maybe still does ? ) .
You could mount an LF camera (folded) to your handlebars, then when you arrive at your ideal spot...just pop down your kickstand, unfold the camera - and there you are!
Many years ago I adapted two hard cases to fit my 8x10 outfit and ride on the back of my bike. Both cases were very well padded inside. I do not advise anyone else to do this. Even though my equipment was very well padded, the vibrations continuously caused me problems with things coming loose and also one time inside an Ilex #5 shutter. 95% of the time I was riding on dirt and gravel side roads. Eventually switched to a f/64 backpack and all my problems were gone. With the backpack my center of gravity was higher, but I got used to that on my first long bike ride. My tripod I kept attached to the back of the bike.
I have been biking with a 5x12 around town. I use an extended bike as mentioned above with huge rear bags. I recently upgraded to an eBike with fat tires which is really nice, but makes me feel lazy.
