Thanks Tim et al,
I ended up heading off to a place north of Oxford here in the UK which has =
in
stock 99% of Lowepro gear so I could stand there and actually look at the
bags. I finally settled on a Computrekker Plus AW which fits everything,
dimensions 13W x 5.3D x 18.9H. It's quite a heavy number all packed and
there's not a lot of room for much else - the main difficulty is in getting
the recorder to fit as well, because it is such a significantly different
shape and size from most camera gear. The Rycote windshield fits very easil=
y
in and is quite snug. I especially like the integrated waterproof cover whi=
ch
slides out from the base and covers the whole bag except for the straps.
