Hi all, as per the title. I'm looking for a camera bag that will hold a 550d plus battery grip and a couple of lenses, maybe a gopro as well.

I've seen the lowepro stealth reporter d400 and the lowepro flipside 300. From what I've read they should be big enough for a gripped camera, but it's always hard to tell from websites.

Does anyone use a gripped camera on here? What bag recommendations do you have?

Budget is less than £100, rucksack/sling, not too fussed.

Thanks :-)

I've got a Stealth Reporter 400.

I used it with 1 series bodies which have a built in grip, you have to wriggle the camera out of the top slot but it is doable.

I've found that the LowePro bags are good quality.

However there are some cheap alternative options here ....

I have a Crumpler bag an older version of this http://www.crumpler.eu/index.cfm?seite=photo-all&a...

very well made, very tough, I've found that you can get an amazing amount of kit in, and if you put the camera/lens in lens first, so the back of the camera is immediately visible when opening the bag, it will fit in with the battery grip fine. I'm not a fan of rucksacks as they are not a fats method of getting to the gear inside, especially if they are on your back!!

I also found that when I upgraded my 350D with battery grip to a 40D (long time ago), I didn't need the grip, the battery lasted much longer and the weight of the camera without grip felt nice.

I've gone for the stealth reporter 300, hopefully it will do the trick.

Thanks for the info.
