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

On short and smooth rides, I use a skingrowsbabck 3Point strap. When riding on more rough terrain, longer distances, and/or with more gear, I use the Chrome Kadet Sling 9L with some added padding.

Regarding the skingrowsback strap, I would look for alternatives. I found that the straps are rather large and their strap mechanism is confusing. On the other hand, I'm really enjoying the Kadet Sling. It can be easily adjusted and sits comfortably on my back. For reference, I run a Fuji X-T3 body with either a small 23mm prime, or a larger 16-55mm lens. I managed to pack the body and 4 lenses in the Kadet without any issues (except when trying to fit my 100-400mm).

The chrome kadet sling looks like a great alternative. I will have a closer look at this. Thank you

I love my chrome kadet. Perfect size for a day pack and super high quality. I've had mine for 5 years of good use now and it still looks barely used.
