How to carry a camera while riding
 

I am looking for ways to carry a medium weight camera and lens while riding my road bike. My objective is to be able to stop anywhere and take a picture from the bike. An example of the camera gear might be Fuji X00-series or an X-Pro body with a small prime.

Any suggestions or links would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Robert

Probably a camera specific backpack like a Pelican or similar. This would also give you the option of carrying extra lenses, batteries, and a tripod. I think you need something padded and secure specifically made for a DSLR as I could see the constant vibration from a bike destroying a mechanical shutter or optics in high end lens.

Ewww... I find the X-Pro complements the carbon fiber in my shoes. They are 0.7g lighter than the old ones, old sport.. The Classic Chrome setting makes every strand of Carbon come to life, don't you think?

Seriously with the X-100 even more so than the X-Pro A small handle bar bag would do the trick. It's right there and ready when you need it. I've carried my Lumix GX7 (same size as my X100f but slightly less costly to replace) on a long camera strap slung across my body while riding around. That worked fine.

While probably the safest solution, i think a camera back pack would be overkill for your use and, IMHO, when I have a camera in a back pack the camera tends to STAY in the backpack.

The best option for me is a comfortable camera strap that allows me to slide the camera front and back. This allows me to keep the camera on my back while riding, and I can qhickly slide the camera to the front when I want to stop and take a photo. A handlebar bag is fine if you need to store the camera or just don't want to carry it on your person. If storing the camera in handlebar bag try to get a bag that's big enough to keep the lens attached. Taking time to attach a lens means you may miss the shot (depending on the subject and how fast the light is changing).

I use a BlackRapid strap that's about 10 years old and it's built like a tank. It'll last at least another 10 years (probably longer) so I'd say they are a very worthwhile investment. https://www.blackrapid.com/all/camerastraps/

Those slings look SICK.
