I have the Domke Outpack ScopePak which I intend to use while
traveling with my new Swarovski scope.
Last year, at the Festival of the Cranes (Bosque Del Apache - New
Mexico), a photographer was carrying a 600mm Nikon (very expensive and
heavy) lens using this pack, and he indicated that he was very happy
with his purchase.
I subsequently bought the pack to carry some photo equipment, however
the pack was a little large for my photo needs so I have not yet used
it. Since I had such a great time at last years Festival of the Cranes,
my husband and I decided to return to the festival again next week and
bought a scope to enhance our birding. We will taking the scope in the
scope pack to NM as a carry on next week.
The scope pack was a around $85 with shipping from M & M photo, a very
reputable NY optics shop which I have used several times.
Another good shop which I have dealt with and sells the ScopePak is B &
H Photo in NYC. Their price is $81 plus shipping.
