In another post I admitted to forgetting the prism on an SX10 job and others confirmed what I found - The difficulty of keeping things contained when working in the field with the SX10/TSX7, a couple extra batteries and of course... a prism.?ÿ The trimble case the SX10 comes in stays at the airport, while the backpack goes into the field.
To solve this, I just had my neighborhood shoe repair guy (Chien Lu Ping) modify the external frame backpack I had for years.?ÿ A soft case sewn into the bottom of the pack, while 2 snap buckles secure the SX10 from the carrying handle and the pack still stands upright!.?ÿ A thick leather patch on the back secures the hand sewing job.?ÿ Side cup can carry a bipod and 2-piece rod.?ÿ The TSC7 fits into outside pocket and plenty of other places to stash accessories including the freaking Prism.?ÿ?ÿ

Be careful: the instrument will want to tumble out of a side loading pack, and they do not take well to tumbling.?ÿ I speak from experience.
