| Best backpack with a good tripod holder?
Anyone has a suggestion for a good backpack for camera with a good tripod holder?
I'm heading to China for a backpack trip, and I'm having a second thought of bringing my crumpler Keystone. I usually slide my tripod (a Benro C-128 with Manfro 322RC2) in the tripod holder. But knowing the condition in China, I'm afraid that someone might grab it and run as it doesn't have anything that lock the tripod in place.
Can anyone suggest me a good backpack for my purpose? I need to carry the following items:
D700*1
MB-D10*1
SB800*1
35mm F1.4G*1
24-70mm F1.4G*1
AA batteries*16
Thinkpad 12.1" lappy*1
chargers/misc filters
Benro C-128 CF tripod with Manfrotto 322RC2 head*1
Thanks!

lowepro makes some nice bags.
A lot cheaper on ebay compared to buying here. I bought my wifes hers from a store on ebay. It was at least half the price compared to what broadway cameras and london drugs charged. http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-Lowepro-Sling...item483e459f44 | |

i own a kata 3n1-20 and got the optional tripod holder. i like how the tripod is held in the middle rather than to the side, but i don't like how the legs of my 190XB is tight to fit into the holder at the bottom. Other than ur laptop, even the 3n1-20 will hold all that. i think you will be happy with a 3n1-33 (bigger, and the odd number at the end designates space for laptop).
are you bringing ALL that stuff at all times? or you don't feel safe leaving some of it at the place you're staying

Well, the problem is that I want to feel safe. 
I think I'm just gonna DIY a hook to lock my tripod on my keystone.
