I have a Ortlieb Trunk Bag that's had very little use. They're bloody expensive when new, but I got mine at a discount.

There's a plastic plate you fit to your rack, then the Trunk Bag locks into that.
Usual Ortlieb quality. Ti-Zip makes it waterproof. There's a carrying strap too (assuming I can dig it out).
If you're interested, I'd sell it for £45.

Lomo make a fully waterproof one. Very sturdy and not expensive.

I thought the same as Stu:

They even show it on the front (despite the "tail bag" name).

Ah yes. I was imagining something with a bit more structure that could be padded/lined for the camera.

Indeed, a fair point. I'm not advocating one over the other, just pointing out potential options (well, repeating Stu TBH
).

Camera bag of choice fitted with a rixen kaul adapter plate and a RK handle bar mount? An added bonus would be some degree of isolation from impact

Ok thanks, I'll show my wife (its for her camera kit) and see what she thinks.
