Let’s see your bag setups. I bought the Badlands Monster fanny and it’s honestly not very big. Especially when I gotta find a way to get my camera arm and Manfrotto 502 head out to the stand. I keep my camera in the muddy padded trail camera bag. Fits perfectly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The LowePro Flip Side 400AW has been my go to pack for the past 6 years or so. I love this thing. I still have not found an actual hunting camera pack that I like better. This setup keeps everything organized and also lets me take in the basic necessities for hunting. Here are some photos of how it works with my current setup. Here is the same pack back when I ran a more cumbersome Muddy arm and my Canon XA20
I only run go-pro sized cams so I'm not much help, but Justin Zarr did a very informative (for me anyway) segment on his camera gear and pack last year on BHOD. I can't remember the episode# but if I had to guess it was pre- or early season.
Badlands Camera Day Pack. It's pretty good, but I wish it was like 10% larger. For morning/evening sits it will be perfect, but for all day sits when I want to bring food it will be a tight fit. Here is how I have mine setup right now. I'm getting my AX100, mic, a GoPro Session, GoPro 4, all necessary mounts, plus a Fourth Arrow arm, extension, their run and gun base, plus all my field dressing stuff and a small flashlight in there pretty easily. The empty spot you see below inside the pack is the area I have left over for food, etc. It's a tight fit but will work.
Gonna be bumming it and making it work with one of my two packs this year (basic scentlok backpack or a badlands fanny/pack hybrid style)...even if that means rolling the cam up to protect it, and strapping the arms to the outside. LOL
I see everyones camera gear packs and we all have our own ways of getting our gear to the woods but what if you have to carry a stand too? I don't have a pic of the full setup yet but I'm hauling in a lone wolf climber PLUS my camera gear almost every hunt. Unfortunately in my area of the country there are are so many dirtbags you cant leave anything behind if you wanna keep your stuff. I'm using a Kifaru backpack frame to attach to the wolf. Then I attach my cam bag to the pack frame separately. Loto weight 55lbs but the Kifaru makes the job much easier. I tried several different backpacks to haul all this stuff and have only hunted once with the Kifaru but trained with it all summer with way more weight. It is by far the best solution to having to haul everything in and out everytime. Be ready for sticker shock on this baby . But I guess you get what you pay for. So far its proved to be worth every penny.
I carry everything I have in and out on every hunt as well... Hawk Helium, stick, and camera gear. Loads of fun being a solo hunter! haha I'll have to look into those packs though, because while my current setup is "working" if you want to call it that, it really is miserable carrying everything in and out on every hunt the way I am running right now.
I also feel the misery carrying a backpack, camera bag and bow to the stand. A few times when I’ve had to go deep I’ve taken my smaller camera which fits in my bag and sets up easier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I personally have a Lone Wolf Assault II with 4 lone wolf sticks. I use a Timber Hawk Rut Buster Backpack for the camera equipment and anything else hunting related needed. I put the pack in between my straps and the waist band clips through and too the stand. total weight for everything is 28 lbs... considering added padded straps for comfort then then I would add more weight so not sure what I want to do. So far this system is working awesome though... I don't have a picture of the pack of camera gear but I can do that later if anyone is interested in seeing the setup fully.
