Most of the guys I know tuck their gear cases down into a dry sack that seals just like that and lash it to the boat. (See the lash points on the bottom of that bag?) I'm thinking v2 will have a little more clearance between the padded case and the rubber cover, but otherwise it seems perfect for running rapids, because the photog almost always has to be in the lead boat to get the other guys coming through, and that's the riskiest ride... I'd gladly pay a couple hundred for that if I were still doing that gig. Dunno if there's enough of a market to support building a bag just for them, but LowePro most likely did their marketing research and concluded they could turn a profit on it somehow. R.
