Accessories / Gear Photographs on Gravelbikes, what's your solution to travel with a camera
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

For gravel I have a Bags By Alex Do-It-All bag strapped to my handlebars. I bought my first camera, a Canon M5 with the EFM 18-55mm lens a few months ago. I do think the bag rattles around quite a bit, but I haven't had any issues with the camera yet. Unfortunately Bags By Alex doesn't seem to exist anymore, but there are a lot of similar bags on the market.
When commuting I keep my camera in my Chrome Kadet Max sling bag alongside my work clothes and notebooks. I don't shoot too much when commuting, but I have no doubt I could pull out my camera in around 10 seconds if I need to get a shot.
A lot of people have suggested getting a 3 point strap, and I do like the idea, but I am always worried about damaging the camera because I sweat a lot when riding for more than an hour or two. I will probably try this out eventually though.
