Check this link for an interesting camera backpack designed by Andy Rouse. More for stills I guess, but interesting. The Viper Rucksack by Andy Rouse () - Warehouse Express (http://www.warehouseexpress.com/product/default.aspx?sku=1030867)

It looks as big as I am!!

I want something to encourage me to carry less gear, not more.

On the other hand, something that allows me to carry the video camera and tripod in a single pack wouldn't go amiss.

I'm seriously impressed. Wonder if the army could also use them?
