Yeah, I meant that the harsh conditions would be
primarily jarring and shaking.
Another question that was posed in my original email
was how would you transport the equipment? I'll have a
Camelbak, so no backpacks... I *could* add a cargo
rack to the bike, but I don't know how well that would
hold up, and I'm not too sure I'd even want the camera
fastened to the bike. Is there not any kind of camera
bag made for "extreme" usage? I might have to engineer
something myself.
