Those with DSLR's or larger cameras

[michellelars]

Assuming you will be using the camera at DL, would/do you bring your camera bag or just the camera with the strap?

I bring a bag. For some rides you have to tuck them into a pouch (Indiana and Soarin') for example. For some you tuck the bag between your knees on near your feet. I try to just bring one lens and a smaller bag.

I wear a larger cross body bag and just put it in there when I'm not using it. It's worked great so far.

Depends. I have a nice lowepro DSLR sling, but its very specialized for the camera. I've repurposed normal shoulder/messenger bags for my camera to fit a theme (Dapper Day), and I've used a backpack to just toss it in, as well as just doing the camera hanging off my neck. They all work.

One thing I've found is that even when I bring a second lens, I never swap the lens. Just added weight to be dragging around. I've got my setup tuned to the point that one body, one lens is all I need for how I shoot. That could change if I get the next lens I want though because they are so different on the focal-length. I only shoot prime in the park, so my zooms go unused 99% of the time.

On our last trip, I just put the DSLR in my cousin's stroller basket. But we don't usually have a stroller with us.

On the trip before I used this neoprene wrap for my canon rebel when I was just carrying it around my neck: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...dslr camera case&sprefix=neoprene+dsl,aps,340

And then we also have this sling backpack that it fits in too (without being too big): http://www.amazon.com/Overland-Equi...sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=overland+sling+backpack

However, I know I didn't pay $75 for it. Probably no more than $30 but now I don't remember.

We use the Black Rapid strap and when we aren't taking pics it goes in a regular backpack in the stroller. So far so good. And I second the only one lens comment. I have never switch mine out and stopped carrying the extras in the park.

I generally just carry the camera with the strap. However, I do also carry a bag for my wallet, phone, etc., so on some rides, I tuck the camera into my bag.

We bring a small bag with us to store the camera in so it can stay protected and doesn't need to be around our neck the whole day.

That's what I do too. The camera bag just feels too bulky

I bought a longer DSLR camera strap so I can wear my camera cross-body. This allows me to lean over and not worry about my camera swinging. It also frees up my hands. I'm looking at getting a neoprene pouch that I can wrap around my camera and put it in a bag or stroller basket just to protect and disguise it some.

 

[Butterfly123]

I wear mine cross body, and use a neoprene cover and then put it in our regular backpack when I don't want it on. But mostly it's fine hanging cross body and doesn't get in my way.

I just use my strap very nice wide soft one.. and shove it in the back pack on certain rides..

Cross the body bag with a tight strap. It is outta the way,and has all my extra lenses, batteries, and tripod.

I do plan for 2 days of NOTHING carried in the park. These will be my wet days!
