sakage.shinga Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Has anyone done this hike while carrying a SLR camera? I'm worried that it'll be too exhausting if I bring my camera plus two lenses, but the views seem absolutely amazing and is just begging for photos to be taken. I did the Diez Vistas trail at Buntzen lake carrying my 5D3 and a single wide angle lens. I'm tempted to bring my 70-200 as well for Mt Cheam. Bad idea?

Offensive Threat Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 People have done the peak hike while carrying 50 lb packs on the regular. What the hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 You'll be able to do it without any issue. I carried my DSLR with a 70-200 lens on a 59km hike through the rockies this summer plus all my camping gear, then another 30km, with gear, (both ways) through Assiniboine Provincial park which was tougher. I normally bring it on most hikes, it can be a bit of an annoyance carrying it in my hand, especially when I'm traversing steeper terrain. However, the reward for the quality photos is worth it.

-AJ- Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I can't imagine it will be overly difficult. I've never done Cheam, but I've done Elk with a light backpack and I've heard they're somewhat similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
