Sightseeing in Europe with a few of my favorite bags

I just wanted to share a few action shots with fellow Tom Bihn junkies. :-)

I-O bag with Absolute Strap in Munich. I can carry my full gear kit this way for hours on end, and have no discomfort.

These are amazing photos! Really beautiful. At the same time you posted them, I was updating our main page and needed a new customer photo to feature: see here.

Yup, it's Olive. I'm a big fan! It's my bag, but I've just convinced hubby to start using it as his everyday work bag. Which means that I might be in the market for something new to try soon. ;-)

The Eiffel Tower looks unreal in those pictures—how awesome of you to share! Hope you're having a great trip.

That night photo of the Eiffel Tower is just spectacular...great photos.

Great photos.

I'm interested in your equipment. What are your camera and tripod? Do you use one of those ultra-lightweight carbon fiber units?

I'm using a CanonD60 with a Slik Sprint Pro, an older version of this one: SLIK CORPORATION - The most copied line of tripods today

I know there are trade offs in buying a cheap tripod, but this one has served me well, and is super small for travel.

So I'm planning on going to Paris on a tour that does a lot of walking. I was going to get the Ego with the I-O bag for my Nikon D5100, I am very much an amateur still. Any thoughts? Is the I-O really enough to walk around with? Thanks for your post and advice.

That's a good question, and I'm not sure if I can help much, as I don't own an Ego for comparison.

It really depends on what you need to carry in addition to the camera gear. I carried my Medium Cafe bag with umbrella, water bottle, and other small daily essentials. The I-O bag with Absolute Strap was big enough for my camera, several lenses, maps, wallet, and phone. I wore the Cafe Bag on my left hip, cross body, and the I-O bag towards my back, also cross body.

I don't know if the stuff from my Cafe bag would fit into the Ego, in addition to a I-O. That would be neat and tidy to have it all in one, not to big, but big enough, bag. Makes me want to order an Ego to try it out. :-)
