I am interested in camera some camera gear (DSLR, couple of lenses, a speedlight or two, and remotes) on my mountain bike and/or my road/touring bike. When I carry these, they will be the purpose of my ride (at least one of the purposes) so that other gear will be minimal.

I currently have racks on both bikes and have two Arkel Shopper panniers and an Arkel truck bag.

Neither of those bags have enough padding to make me comfortable with placing the equipment in them without some other protection. My current thought is to use my camera bad to hold the equipment and place that in one of the Arkel shoppers.

Are there other ideas? How do you carry camera equipment? Any issues with vibration causing damage? When I travel with the equipment I have a Pelican case I use, but it seems too large and bulky for the rack (It is an airline approved carry on).
