Sorry for the long lead in, but I promise its an interesting bag challenge.
Here's my dilemma:
I just found out about Tom Bihn bags. I recently bought two new bags -- a Timbuk2 Outtawhack and a Osprey Transit, but of course now I have bag envy.
Here's the opportunity....
My company just got a new Video Camera, the Panasonic HVX-200 (dimensions W6.6 x H7.1 x D15.4) It's a great camera, but it falls to my shoulders to drag it around on shoots. I also have my laptop, a tripod and other assorted gear (like a portable printer). I have a bigger Osprey Meridian 22" suitcase for the large gear, but I like to keep it down to two carry-ons.
The Meridian is a great bag it fits my printer, clothes, tripod for a 5 day trip. I bought a Kata R-103 backpack for the Camera & my Laptop (Apple Macbook Pro 15") along with a book or two, a notepad, a moleskin, PSP, ipod, pens (a lot), sunglasses, dvd case and files. The Kata is not bad, but it doesn't really work for me, plus its mainly a camera bag which means I can't use it day to day.
Here's the question, I'm wondering if something like the Brain Bag or the Super Ego would work better (as well as be more fulfilling :-) ). Do you think either of those bags would work with the Camera & Laptop?
Also, do either the super-ego or Brain bag fit under the seat in front of you?
Thanks,
Adam
