Hi John,


Thanks for the info on your Lowepro bag and the photo! It was VERY helpful and has made it toward the top of my list. The reviews on a few sites I looked at are really good also. Only two things are am wondering, if it will hold my tripod ok or if it is made for smaller ones and how easy is it to open on the go? I just watch a video on it and the guy showed the advantage of the waist strap and being able to turn the bag around to the front to open it using his thigh for support ...looks like it mightwork ok but one reviewer said things can easily fall out. Is it quite the balancing act or is the bag pretty sturdy and rigid on the back?
