Hi All, I have been having a hard time finding a backpack that will fit my hd100 so I can take it into the backcountry..does anyone have any ideas? I was even thinking of getting a hard case and somehow bolting it to a external backpack frame..thanks, John

I bought a Kata BP-502 from http://www.bhphotovideo.com

It's a nice case. It's a pretty big backpack so it fits the HD-100 with IDX. I can't say I've actually used it as a backpack - I got the version with removable dolly wheels and have been using it that way. Call me lazy. :-)

I used a Portabrace HKP-3 for some pretty intense hiking in rural Russia last summer. It was totally solid. The camera and the bag are still in great condition. It's an expensive bag but I thoroughly recommend it.

Hello,

After reading this forum since one and half year, i'll probably buy a gy 251 soon...

I think i need a backpack because i want to shoot montains. If people have more information on the above backpacks, or on the Petrol, tell me.

Thanks everybody for all the good things in this forum.

Fabrice.
