How do you store your gear?

[nonac]

I did a 10 day float trip through the Grand Canyon 4 years ago which included over 120 rapids, several Class V. All of my gear (and that of many others) was in Pelican cases. The float guides and a pro photographer that was on the trip said that Pelican makes the best cases for this type of use. I'm sure the guides especially know what they are talking about as they see plenty of different cases and bags and knows what works and what fails. I use 3 different Pelican cases, depending on what size I need.

I need to re-shoot this pic at some point, as I've replaced the Peli 1600 with a Storm im2720 (deep enough to hold the 600mm f/4L IS II), replaced the Primus AW backpack with a Flipside 300, added a Lens Trekker Pro 600 AW II, RRS tripod bags, and a few more S&F accessories.

Done...



Also, here's what my lens storage looks like (the 24-105L is not pictured, it's typically stored on the 1D X in the im2075 case).

I don't quite know what to say.

I have a Pelican 1560 when my camera is being stored (not used in 3 or 4 days). Then I have a Tamrac 606 and Tamrac Adventure 7, both of which I have outgrown and need to replace. the adventure 7 is on ebay as we speak! Does anyone have experience with the Tamrac Aero 85? I've been searching for an everyday back pack that I can take my 5d3 and 17-40l, 24-105l and 100-400l in and think that the Aero 85 may be a good choice.

And then

I aslo need a backapack similar in size to the Aero 85, I'd contemplate remvoing all padded dividers and putting a small pelican case and beta shells in it for when I go mountain biking. I like the crush-proofness of the pelican cases. if they can be thrown out of helicopters they can probably withstand a mountain bike fall. Although if I land on the case that may not be fun! What does everyone think of the Beta shells?

I use a Thinktank Airport Accelerator backpack. It holds what I have currently, which makes it easy for me to move all my gear from one place to another. In the Thinktank are these items: a T3i with a 24mm f/1.4L II attached; a 5D Mark III with a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II attached, including the hood; a 50mm f/1.2L; a 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS; hoods for the aforementioned lenses; and numerous accessories. The backpack will also hold a laptop computer. I carry tripods separately in an army duffel bag. The bag sits fully packed on top of a bin in a closet, ready to go at a moment's notice. The Airport Accelerator is not a bad option for those with a smaller amount of gear.

In an Amazon Basics Camera Backpack. I shoot indoors or in cities so i don't need extra protection for my gear.

I was using Amasone Basics bagpack, however, yesterday bought ThinkTank Retrospective 30. Very good and solid bag. It is quite expensive, however, it is really worth that money. I hope tat I will use it for many many yearss

I keep everything in a Kata Bumblebee PL-220 (except the tripod) and it's almost always with me.

I use 3 Pelican cases for home storage and a number of LowePro when I'm out and about.
