This looks like a nice solution – As I started carrying larger cameras on backpacking trips I was faced with the issue of where to carry everything as well and found myself passing up photo opportunities when the camera wasn’t accessible. I think the chest pack method is the way to go – Have been using the ZPacks Multi-Pack which keeps the camera easily accessible, carries a few accessories, and offers good water resistance as well as dust protection for those desert trips. 🙂

In reply to Sean O'Connell. I do enough off-trail hiking and scrambling (rocks or brush) where I would not want the camera exposed like that. But that is just me. YMMV.

In reply to KidA. LOVE the Peak Designs "Capture" clip! I have a Nikon DSLR that I take on backpack trips and hikes. I use a shower cap to keep dust and moisture off it? I wouldn't want to ski or do anything where I might be more prone to falling on it. It is ABSOLUTELY the best camera accessory I have purchased!

In reply to KidA. Looks good but I don't think it would work for some of the hiking or skiing I do. Probably best for on-trail?

I tried something similar for a year or so for hiking and random wanderings…. then I discovered this gem:

I’ve found the number of pictures I take has quadrupled and as a result, I get quite a few better shots during my wanderings.

I stow my camera when it rains, but the clip really makes it easy (unclip, shoot, reclip) to access my camera.
