I'd check out safety deposit boxes. I'm not a customer, but understand Metrobank rent them out for short periods. Not sure if storage companies - Big Yellow for example - offer more secure storage, but I know they do lockers and small units.

Thanks. I have the K10D, 20D, 5ii and 3ii, so no good to me I'm afraid.

Is it primarily secure or environmental storage you're looking for?

Or, an OTG card reader.

Re-reading this I see that my response was more to do with transporting kit from A to B, as in on holiday or a trip, rather than a more generic camera bag question.

There's only one change for me when it comes to camera bags on a shoot, and that is I leave the 'walk around' lens on the camera body, and in my case the camera then lies back down, lens up, with the camera base facing outwards (it's in the end compartment of a Lowepro bag). Otherwise, lenses are in the other compartments, mount down.

Also, I use more than one bag, a large Lowepro for 'bulk' storage, and a smaller one into which I decant camera and a few lenses as required. I have far too much kit to be able to carry it all, but can never decide what I should take!

Additionally, when I'm out somewhere that's new, or where I know that I would want a greater available selection of lenses than I can carry in the small bag, (and the venue allows, i.e. Kew, Wisley, etc), I wheel my large bag(s) around on a fishing tackle trolley which also carries my tripod, etc.

It's an interesting question, and whilst I don't profess to know the correct answer, I carry my kit with camera and lenses separated, camera with body cap on and camera base down, and lenses with caps on both ends, mount facing down.

All this, however, assumes that the kit is in a proper camera bag over which you have control, including the fact that when put down on a floor, or in an overhead compartment, the bags base is down. Not all cases lend themselves to this, a back-pack style bag for example, or a Peli with handle.
