I don't use it for expensive equipment, or even a lot of it. I like to toss my 50mm, a polarizing filter, and maybe my Vivitar 285HV flashgun in there when I wander around. Nothing fancy, nothing that can't survive a bump or two. And I do have everything covered by insurance, so I'm not too worried about it. I guess I should have clarified.

Having a couple of expensive lenses and a flash or two all chucked in together banging against each other can't be good, can it?

I hate carrying my tripod slung over my shoulder with the camera attached because I'm leery that the camera could slip off thanks to the ball mount's quick release. But again, insurance to the rescue. I think it’s a good idea…*if* you have your gear covered with a rider on your insurance policy.

Like you said, the tripod case isn't padded. Better safe than sorry, especially when packing L-series lenses or other pricey gear. Bad idea. Like you said, the tripod case isn’t padded.
