The MindShift Gear TrailScape 18L is the pack I have been looking for. When you need to go out for an adventure and you want to carry a lot of lenses plus the outdoor gear you need look no further.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

As my avid readers may know I am a fan of MindShift Gear bags. I have a few and they are the best way to carry a camera while out hiking, cycling or climbing. When I saw they were making a new bag that could carry a menagerie of lenses including a big zoom and gear for your adventure in a compact size I had to check it out.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I carry my camera (OMD-EM1) and a few lenses when out looking for wildlife to take pictures. A few of those adventures involve me riding a few miles to the trailhead and then going hiking. This bag works perfectly for that.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The TrailScape 18L has plenty of pockets for a tripod, extra layers, food a tablet and laptop and  all of your photo gear.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I really am a huge fan of carrying Nalgene water bottles and these pockets eat them up with room to spare.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Inside the pack you can fit a big lens and plenty of other lenses in reconfigurable padded compartments. You may note the pack in the bottom pocket, that is the included rain cover. In this pic I have the Olympus 300mm Pro on the EM1, the MC-14 teleconverter, 8mm, 40-150mm Pro, 12-40mm and 75mm.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The inner pocket has room for batteries, lens wipes, filters and more.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The top of the outside pocket has a fleece lined pocket for you sunglasses.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Now inside the outer pocket you have plenty of pockets to organize batteries, bars, headlamp and plenty of layers. I have a puffy vest, knit cap and a shell in this pic. There is a pocket for a tablet or 13″ laptop in there as well.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This pack has what you need to move fast and far in the backcountry with all of your photo gear. I have been looking for something to carry the 300mm Pro and my other lenses safe and secure while on the trail- this is that pack. <\/p>\n

The TrailScape offers a spacious interior, allowing for plenty of photo gear, yet maintains a slim and compact profile. As an outdoor photographer, you always carry extra gear on your adventure, so lash points and dedicated compartments for a light jacket or lunch are essential. Laptop and tablet slots come in handy when you travel. And the TrailScape is built for comfort with a padded shoulder harness for longer hikes.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
