What are the front criss-crossing bungee like cords use for on this? I can't find a good use for them. AmazonBasics Backpack for SLR Cameras and Accessories (Black)

Why does your question show "AmazonBasics Backpack for SLR Cameras and Accessories (Black) "????

Couldn't figure out also what to do with it either so I untied the knot and rewove the chord so that it just crisscrosses using the outside loops. It seems to work great now and I can get whatever I need to in there and still tighten using that black figamagig (whatever that is called).

Hi, everyone, The cross strapping cord is to carry a waterproofing tent or rain coat material stuff like that. I see some hve inventive possibilities as well.

I carry a light weight rain/wind jacket. I roll it up then weave it into the criss-crossed straps vertically on one side. I have at times rolled a sweatshirt up also and weaved it into the other side. They both stay put through several hours of hiking.

I came here to ask that same question. Haven't seen any photos that show them being used. I would have thought they were for a tripod or two, or to tighten the bag's width. Lots of backpacks have them.

If your bag has any d-rings or other type of connectors around the shoulder straps of your pack -- I don't see why it wouldn't work for you. Before I found those straps, I used some nylon paracord or 550 cord to tie it to my pack. It looked tacky but it worked. BTW, have you tried here? http://www.procameragear.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/1_25They have all kinds of connectors that you can mix and match to make it work. Good luck!

Strap it to your belt. It "looks" professional like that. The cord is long enough if you stretch you camera over your head with your arms. I have long arms. If you mount it on your camera, the weight of the battery pack and camera might be too much for long photo shoots. I take a lot of pictures of hot women and I need my arms and hands to be steady. Hope that helps.

i agree that you could possibly rig it with a carabiner. i have used this bag for the past 10 months while shooting overseas. note that it's small. my rebel t2i fills almost the whole main compartment. the one pocket in front holds extra battery and such. not much room for anything else. good bag if you don't need extra space.

Depending on the size, you'd need to jimmy rig it outside the pack somehow with bungees probably.I have a larger Pearstone tripod & have not tried this yet. But am going to have to. From the looks of things, it's probably going to be a pain in the butt.

There is a place for something to be screwed into the bottom of the camera. The instructions that came with it didnot mention what this was for, but said to go on line and see the attachments etc. for it. I am assuming that this is what that's for, but do not have a tripod so have not done so. Sorry to take so long in answering this.

I use it for a Canon EOS, but usually keep hand on it or near to keep it from swinging too far. It seems plenty strong to hold the camera. The connection to the strap is plastic, but is well made and appears sturdy. Hope this helps and good luck.

There is a little string that you insert where the normal strap would be. It is very universal. We used it on our Panasonic water camera.

Case Logic sells many bags. Check the dimensions of the bag of which your camera will fit. I am not familiar with the back pack you are using. Try an experiment with your back pack and see if a similar item of the size of a camera bag will work. The bag I purchased may not be the right size for you. Depending on the size of your camera you may need to use a much smaller camera for your journey.

It's more like the OP/TECH USA System Connector Uni-Loop. Stitched leather to secure the braided cord, which is more flat than round and a little larger than the Mini QD Loops. I use this with my 5D-Mark III DSLR.

I use a battery pack for all my cameras, and this makes it a very tight squeeze to get it in...and also makes the side pockets very small for any lenses and flashes. Its smaller than how it looks on Amazon. Its way to small for a camera with a long lens, too.

I use a Crumpler. Been pretty happy with their camera bags. Good quality and nice designs.

We use the bag on the hitch carrier and use bungy cords to hold it because they're faster. Can't remember where the tie down straps are. Sorry. We like the bag, but it gets stiff in the cold. Keep it inside before loading it so it's more pliable.

I'm in the same boat, just having bought an H5. Nothing in the store pleased me, so I'm on a search. Best candidates: MRock's Denali @ $40, on line @ mrock.com, with rave reviews. And Sony LCS-HA, $29-$39 through Amazon.com or some other on line retailers listed on the Amazon site. The MRock line draws ecstatic kudos from photographers who have had 20 camera bags and will never go back --apparantly exceptionally well thought out camera bag. A feature I liked is that the camera appears to go down into the bag one handed, and out the same way, on its end with the hand grip on the top. You pull it out like a gun in a holster, ready to "shoot". I'm not so sure about the camera position in the Sony --I might be wrong, but a user photo of the bag interior on the Amazon site looked like the camera went in horizontally instead of vertically. I'd appreciate anyone else's input on this, and any experience with either bag with the Sony H5.

It's a better idea to use a strong bungee cord or two to secure a bike to a car rack and to keep the front tire from bouncing around. There's an excellent set here, on AMAZON.COM that would be an excellent choice. Low price and Prime eligible, the ASIN # B009ONI2B8. If I weren't so happy with the cables I have, I would order this set with various lengths of extra strong bungee cords. Good luck.

I used carabiners and bungee cords. I bought some camo bungee cords here on amazon. The bungees work out well because the give some flexibility in the wind. I started by planning out the connection at the house side, where I have 3 of them attached to a set of upright posts. At the end away from the house I was able to use posts attached to the fence, and spanned the gap with the bungees. But you have to plan it out or they won't hang right.

I use it for my Canons, SX260 and 280: Wouldn't use it for my FZ200... And I never use it in "tripod" mode as I found that less useful than another mini trip I have, but the strap makes this thing excellent for a lot of situations where nothing else would do! But I wouldn't put anything other than a pocket camera on it.
