DAKINE Sequence Pack w/ Camera Block - 1800cu in

DAKINE Sequence Pack w/ Camera Block - 1800cu in description

DAKINE combined the Sequence Pack with the Camera Block to create an incredibly versatile backpack for the serious outdoor photographer. In addition to holding all the camera gear you need for a successful shoot, the Sequence Pack also carries either skis or a snowboard. Hey, you can't get those amazing shots if you don't get to the location in the first place. DAKINE also added a front shovel pocket because you're in avalanche terrain just like the rest of your crew. You can also remove the Camera Block and use it on urban photo missions or so as to take only the Sequence Pack with you on days where the camera gear doesn't need to come along.

This is the only reasonably-sized hike-worthy camera backpack that will carry your camera and large telephoto lens without disassembly. Holds 70-200mm Nikon f/2.8 and 1.7X Nikon Teleconverter all connected with room to spare for an even bigger telephoto, and also has space for at least 3 other lenses (non-telephoto), or another big prime telephoto lens up to 300mm f/2.8.This pack is durable, very well made for the price, has plenty of compartments in intuitive places, and is very comfortable on your back even with 15 pounds or more of camera gear on your back.The laptop pocket? if that's what the pack is meant to hold (the large front pocket) is very shallow and can barely fit my macbook 13" notebook. This could be the only downside to this pack, although it does hold my macbook so I'm stoked.If you have a 15" laptop and like to carry it with your camera gear, you might be able to place it above the camera gear on the other side of the pack, but it will require some adjustment and hassle becasue you'll have to place it aside every time you pull out your camera.

I searched and searched for a camera bag that was made for someone who actually takes their camera gear into the backcountry and wants to be comfortable. The DaKine Sequence is the best I found, and almost perfect. My favorite parts: nice wide hip belt to hold weight, removable camera block, tripod fits in the ski harness, deep enough for a Nikon D300 with grip (or a D3) and tele-zoom (ample room for a tele-prime), convenient and well thought out pockets, relatively bombproof, opens on the back panel (heavenly!). My wish list: better padding and suspension (oh Osprey, when will you make a camera pack?!?), a tad more room for extras (lunch, rainjacket), lighter overall weight (camera gear is heavy enough as it is), a bit narrower so it would fit under the seat on the airline. I agree with the reviewer above, there isn't room for a bigger laptop. However, I don't have much need to take a laptop in the backcountry, so I don't miss that. If you're looking to take your big and heavy camera gear in the woods, and you still want to feel your arms and shoulders by the end, this is a great pack.
