A number of folks have asked me about my Nikon 1 V1 Walkabout Kit.  What’s in your bag; is it small?  Well, yes it is.  In fact, the bag isn’t even a camera bag; it’s a small, free shoulder bag from a Sandhill Crane convention.  On my walkabouts, I usually just carry the camera and one lens.  If lens is the 70-300mm, I usually attach the sun sniper strap to the FT-1 and use it to carry the rig.   The rest of the kit stays in my vehicle and rides almost everywhere with me.  If I go on foot or for some other reason can not take the entire kit, I either carry the camera and lens or put it into my briefcase.  Sure, my iPhone is much easier to carry.  It just doesn’t capture images like the V1.

 Note:  In one of my posts, I said I would not buy the special Speedlight for the V1.  Well, I found one on sale, so I broke down and bought it.  It’s handy for just a little light at a family gathering.  Find more Nikon 1 V1 and V3 experiences posted under IMHO.
