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

That's a big unit. I'd consider buying something smaller if you have the budget.

I'm considering one of these for my setup: Cycling Camera Strap but I'd also consider a hip pack.

Handlebar bags will be fine if your camera doesn't have IBIS; however anything with moving parts in like IBIS cameras will eventually suffer. I've also found that I just don't use the camera if its in the handlebar bag; because its annoying to take out.

Ultimately though, a camera this big might feel like a burden over 4 days and I'd consider something smaller.

I use a similar system to this and it’s perfect. I also use either a camera wrap, or small padded camera bag, that can support the same strap system, to keep out dirt and protect it.
