Tom just handed me a prototype camera bag-type insert he made (for use with the Brain Bag and Smart Alec.) We plan to test it with my 20D and lenses and will ask you for feedback when the time comes. I hope you're as excited as I am...it looks really cool, even though it's a rough prototype.
Welcome!
We're glad you are here. This is the place to ask for bag advice, help other people out, post reviews, and share photos and videos.

I am *extremely* excited about this. I have a Brain Bag and a recent Smart Alec, and could definitely use something like this for my Canon Digital Rebel XT that I have to carry along on every trip.
To this point, I haven't been happy with any solution. The past few trips, I've tried packing it in my Aeronaut with my clothes, but that makes it much tougher to use the packing cubes, which I love.Aeronaut (Original in Hunter Green), Aeronaut 30 (Forest), Smart Alec (Hunter Green), Pilot (Forest), Co-Pilot (Coyote), Synapse 25 (Black Dyneema), Two Large Shop Bags (Iberian and Steel), Passport Pouch (Iberian), Two Travel Trays (Solar stays in the Aeronaut, Iberian stays home), more than a dozen accessories.

I have a Canon XTi and a Brain Bag and Aeronaut but my favorite solution thus far is using my Red Oxx Gator instead of the BB. When I tested the BB it would work but it wasn't protecting the camera to my satisfaction. On the plus side I could fit the camera in a Tamrac hand bag and then put both in the BB with plenty of room, which does not work on the Gator.
I stick with small, light, prime lenses so I'm probably not typical of a DSLR traveler.Owner of : Imago, Aeronaut, Brain Bag, Smart Alec, Synapse, Co-Pilot

And yes -- the insert would work with both shoulder bags/briefcases and backpacks.Have a question? @Darcy (to make sure I see it)
Current carry: testing new potential materials in the form of Original Large Shop Bags.
