yeah, so does f-stop gear, I've modified my back opening Salewa with removed back protector, works fine with small and medium ICUs, but my gear is smaller and lighter (most of the time).
1D + 24-70 is 2.5kg not to mention extra gear, that's also massive volume. Check out the guys in the shot, they carry water, some bars and a multi tool at most
Mark needs to be twice as fit to lug that around all day., I guess that's the life of the photographer...
How do you ride with that monster that is 1D?
