I don't ride in jerseys any more, so I haven't settled on the best way to carry even a really compact camera like an RX100 or GR. Even when just riding with my phone, with it in the pocket of a normal pair of shorts, it's not a great to wrestle it out while pedaling. Have ridding a couple times with the RX100 in a stem pouch and that's probably the best carry option I've used so far. Ir maybe that sort of bag worn on a belt, or...a fanny pack. For carrying phone/cameras, I've been using one of the Routewerks handlebar bags for several years.  That looks really really practical. I need to do a deep dive into getting a new handlebar bag. Would like a bigger one and one with a quick release so it's less fiddly to not leave my bag behind when stopping somewhere while riding around town. Using mustache handlebars complicates things a little, but deciding to go with pink accents even more so. Think for larger cameras with interchangeable lenses, even if a relatively small one with a not-big lens, is gonna be best carried in a bigger handelbar bag. Using a shoulder strap with a stabilizer strap works well too, but I just don't want the weight on me, even if it's not all that much.  So far, for the RX100, a stem pouch has been pretty good, and I've stuck a folded innertube at the bottom of the bag to raise the floor and make it easier to get the camera out while pedaling. But this definitely won't take an MILC, unless it's an especially small body and especially flat pancake lens. Another camera that I wish I had to try out for carrying while riding is a Panasonic LX100. Pretty compact all-in-one with a 24-75mm (equiv) zoom and m43 sensor.  Chester SF Bay Area -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
