George,


Thanks a lot for your detailed explanation! I'm looking at the Speed Racer here just like I look at it in the shop! I forgot to mention last time that I use a 1V-HS as my main camera so I do need something that can hold a pro body. I can imagine the Speed Racer to be similar in size with my Lowerpro Nova 180 shoulder bag except for being considerably deeper - to be able to hold a 100-400L is good news. My largest camping bag will hold the Speed Racer no problem, but I don't use it too often for a day trip or something. I appreciate the way that it can hang around my waist and free other parts of my body to carry something else.


The picture you showed me with your 30D is my normal configeration when using my Nova 180, I carry one camera and an extra lens. Some time I also carry an external flash and some filters, so the Speed Racer looks good for that too. You pack your gear tighter than i do, so I think I can try to squeez some extra space for filters and stuff which does not take too much space to begin with.


I'm aware of the Orion, but it seems that the speed racer is better built and serves a clear purpose. I probably go for the Dryzone Rover if I need something like that.


But anyway, I'll go take the speed racer home some time soon[]


Thanks again for the help! It's greatly appreciated!
