Handlebar bag. I'm a big fan of Lone Peak bags - made in the US, relatively affordable, and IMHO quite durable. http://lonepeakpacks.com/ and <http://thetouringstore.com/LONE%20PEAK/LP%20H-bar%20Packs/H100%20H-BAR%20PACK%20PAGE.htm> The Lone Peak bags are basically empty boxes. You'd probably want to add some sort of padding to keep your gear from knocking around. If you're willing to spend a few bucks more, there are some other handlebar bags that can be fitted specifically for camera storage. e.g. Ortlieb offers a "camera insert" for their bags. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ __o _'\<,_ (*)/ (*) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
