I use the Osprey Talon 33. The length is perfect for carryon. I can cram about 30# of gear (the upper limit) in it. I pack a full load of TT belt components, including lashing a Gitzo 1540 on the outside. What is nice is when I get to my location, I can unpack the Talon, assemble the belt system, and then pack the Talon with stuff for the actual day's events. And wear it while wearing the TT system, even including the Pixel Racing Harness if need be.


I looked at this pack and it seems too light to lash a tripod to the outside. Where on the pack did you lash it on and how did it carry?

Thanks,
Pat

Originally I used the cord a thetop on the outside but it did pull on it and started to separate. So I took a piece of parachute cord and cord locks and made my own, running it across the top part near the point where the bladder would go. I also have compression straps, but have not needed to use them. I don't have the ballhead on when traveling, but I can put it on when hiking

sorry to dredge up this line of thought, but i have a similar question..i posted a new thread today, but since you guys have experience i hope you don't mind if i ask it here as well...

i'm doing a 5 day backcountry yosemite hike in a few weeks and will be bringing my d300 with a small lens attached (sigma 10-20mm)...i'm having trouble figuring out how to carry the camera in a way that it's easily accessible. i tried using my tt fanny pack turned around so that the camera was in front of me, but that didn't work well. i need to get the camera higher on my chest. i'm thinking about the lowepro chest harness with a lowepro topload zoom1. i'm hoping i can wear that and the backpack, or at least strap the zoom1 to the backpack somehow. i'm open to any and all suggestions however. thanks.
