Camera Bag

[millzy]

I currently have a Crumpler Pretty Boy XL but have recently brought a tripod. Its a Manfrotto 785B and closed it is just over 17" tall (435mm). Anyone know of a bag that'd be big enough to hold my D40, 2 lenses and the tripod? and maybe a little more space for another lens in the future? Ideally id like a bag that doesnt look like a camera bag or be too geeky (i.e. crumpler) but im open to any suggestions! Thanks!

Tamrac stuff is good and some of their products have a facility to carry a tripod on the outside of the bag - the Expedition 7 I use can do this.

was hoping to be sub £100, am i being too hopeful? Both look like good bags but look huge and a bit geeky lol but if thats what it takes...?

lowepro mini trekker? Crumpler Brians Hot Tub looks nice too.

I've got a pretty boy xl, but i'm gonna change it for something bigger, as it can't hold all my gear anymore

+1, managed to squeeze 2 bodies, 4 lenses and a flash in here, holds my tripod nicely as well.

Inside? Dont want to make it obvious to scratters that im walkin round with a bag full of expensive kit

The Tamrac Expedition 7 is 41cm size inside so would hold the tripod inside at a slight angle I think. They cost £99.99 at Warehouse Express.

Alternatively you could just get a bag for your tripod, the shoulder-sling type?
