Topeak Compact Bike Handlebar Bag/Fanny Pack Review

I'm new to photography & wanted it to carry my digital camera on my bike. I chose a handlebar bag so I wouldn't have to dismount to get to my camera.
There's enough room to pack my Canon Digital Rebel XT sideways. Packing a lens much longer than the 18-55mm that came with my camera may be a problem. There's minimal room to spare, and extra stuff will interfere with your ability to get to your camera quickly. The side flaps can hold memory cards & an additional battery.
On a 40 mile ride from Anaheim to San Juan Capistrano, it met all of my expectations. The clamp didn't slip, and I was able to stop & shoot whenever I wanted. I liked the extra mounting space on the clamp, and I was able to attach my very wide cycle computer (Garmin Forerunner 201) very easily.
1. Keep in mind that the clamp attaches with hex bolts instead of loops & straps, so the clamp will be a fairly permanent part of your bike.
2. To use it as a fanny pack, you'll need to pull out & attach the included strap. It isn't very comfortable, as the plastic mounting bracket on the back of the bag sticks out just enough to be pokey. You'll need to wear it low, gunslinger style.
3. The mounting hardware is plastic, so durability may be a consideration for long-term use.
