On road and mild trail I carry the gear in a small fanny pack (LowePro Sideline Shooter) in my panniers. As the riding gets rougher, the panniers come off and the fanny pack goes on my fanny. In really gnarly mad cap downhills the cameras come off (as I do frequently)and are put somewhere safe (unfortunately where I usually put myself leaves something to be desired). In general riding (not too crazy) a fanny pack is best as the body/bike takes the edge out of most bumps. In really crazy riding you have to decide: Am I photographing or riding? John Collier
