I was jsut wondering how everyone carried ther cameras, i find it a pain to have it around my neck, i cant stand all the bouncin when im hiking, yet its a pain to take off my pack and get it out and by that time if the shots of wild-life the animals usally long gone. Ive been keeping it in my g/f pack but she tires out and im usally a good pace in front of her the further up we go. i have a cannor rebil g slr , with the standered lends and then a 300 mm zoom. so any who liek i said, how does eveyone else carry their for easy access? - Wiley

I carry it around my waist where I can pull it out anytime without taking off my pack. If I am at an area where I am going to be taking pictures along the trail for a ways then I put it around my neck and either drop it under my jacket if I'm wearing one or clamp it under the chest strap of my pack to keep it from bouncing.Comment

My camera case has a loop on the back that I put my sternum strap through. I have been meaning for some time to find a way to secure it to the sternum strap(sop it doesn't fall off when I unbuckle it)“One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds.” ~ Aldo LeopoldComment

I use this:
And a Carabiner attached through the belt loop attached to the shoulder strap. This keeps the camera out of the way of my arms, but within handy reach. Definately worth the extra 1 lb. I have an old SLR (thanks to Johnnycakes) so it is quite large.

I do the same thing, but my camera case has a small handle on the top that I grab when I unbuckle so I don't drop the camera.Originally posted by fvrwldMy camera case has a loop on the back that I put my sternum strap through.

i was thinkin of making a template and sewing a case out of a light but strong fleece material or neoprene that woudl attach to my sternam strap. Turns out im just lazy, took me long enough to finish drawing out and making a pack cover! but i guess the bright side is i did get it done haha"It's not where your from, it's where your at."Comment

I believe mine cost $0.97 at walmarts. At that price why make one? The brand name is Targus.Originally posted by AdkWileyi was thinkin of making a template and sewing a case out of a light but strong fleece material or neoprene that woudl attach to my sternam strap.

Val, I've got the same $.97 camera case. Very handy little case for my digital. I run the sternum strap through the loop.Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.
