Looking for a way to carry my Fujifilm x100vi on a few longer gravel rides – it won't fit in any of my frame bags. Should I get a strap and wear it? Do you have a bag that you like?
(I'm not worried so much about damaging it. I hike and carry a larger full frame camera regularly)

I’m also interested in others experiences!!
Do you like the x100vi for your cycling adventures? I’m thinking of buying one soon.
I used to have Peak Design Everyday Sling bag (until it broke), I think that is the ideal way. You can tighten it properly so it is not loose, and it is isolated from the vibrations.
Get a bag that it fits in? lol?
I think a dedicated fanny pack is probably the best bet. The radavist makes one, and I just bought a nice one from wandrd.
I am looking at doing the same thing with a Fuji X-E5. My initial approach will be a strap, probably a PSbagworks because I like that you can get it with Peak attachment points, which I already use. Another thing I want to try is a stem bag – to use as a camera-only bag – they are a small investment to just try out and see if it works.
You want to wear it vs having it on bike, the rattling will damage the cameras ibs without your body to dampen it. Strap will work, Jersey pocket might depending on the jersey, running style vest or waist pack works pretty well.
I have something called a ‘Rille strap’. It’s a connection piece for a camera strap so it stays on your back. Rille is a brand name, so you should probably find similar concepts online. Can recommend it!
