Everyone needs a creative outlet, pics are mine. Since I am always out riding, hiking, etc I take pics of outdoor fun. Usually I want to carry my camera and one or two lenses when I am out hiking along with an extra layer and water. Most camera packs I have seen are geared towards carrying a closet full of lenses and nothing else. Plus I have some really nice backpacks already, why not use them? Which is why I put my camera in the Mountainsmith Kit Cube and whatever pack I need for the adventure at hand.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

The Kit Cube features adjustable dividers and can fit my OMD and two lenses with room to spare. It can even fit the OMD with the handgrip and 75mm on.<\/p>\n

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

The smooth surface has a waterproof coating and makes pulling the bag in and out of your pack really easy.<\/p>\n

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

The Kit Cube has a cordlock closure to keep your gear clean and dry(although the new model has a roll top dry bag style closure.)<\/p>\n

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

The insert is easy to pull in and out with the side tabs.<\/p>\n

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

The dividers are adjustable and can be rearranged for the size gear you carry. I usually take one out as Micro 4\/3 lenses are a bit smaller, I can fit two in one divider.<\/p>\n

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

As you know, I am a fan of Mountainsmith Lumbar Packs and this fits perfectly in my Tour pack. <\/a><\/p>\n

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

It fits great in any backpack. Turning your pack in to a camera bag and keeping your gear safe.<\/p>\n

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

If you are looking to carry your camera and a lens or two in the backcountry check out the Kit Cube from Mountainsmith. It is really designed well and has stood up to tons of use.<\/p>\n
