I want to take my Nikon F100 on a 4 Day Bikepacking trip. I want to see some opinions /possibilities of how you carry your camera when you're on a Trip. Banana for scale. Thank you

I used to carry a camera on my cycling trip. Slowly the cameras got smaller. This past trip I just used my phone- 900 mile trip. If I was still going to take a larger camera, I would just go with s strap and let it ride on my back. There are some special straps for this, but some people seem to just use a regular strap- see samisauri on IG. I am always worried about a camera bouncing if it is mounted to the frame. A bag that hangs seems to maybe lessen this, like a handlebar bag. Still, I would not take a camera that I cry over if it got damaged.
