After doing a couple of trips with my Belstaff 556 Colonial Bag as my camera bag, I realized the missing pad really adds weight into my shoulder. The leather pad is beautiful but cuts into your shoulder with heavy loads. So I found this waxed canvas shoulder pad in dark brown from Timbuk2 and ordered it. The color is not a perfect match but I think it looks pretty good. An upcoming trip to China will test it out.
At the Timbuk2 website here.
Nice advice. Bought my belstaff 556 bag after blogged about yours. Got the same problem with the shoulderpad so I might look in to this.
Really nice photos man, keep up the good work!
