Finally got a decent shot of a stunning Red Admiral butterfly that has been visiting our buddleia. Taken in rather windy conditons on the compact.

Lovely landscape but FFS come on! Was there any need for that third shot? My wife just smacked my ipad with a shoe..

Just got me a lovely DSLR, my first ever. Last proper camera was an Olympus OM10...

Anyway

I'd like to carry the camera in my Ortlieb handlebar bag having first fashioned a snug foam and cardboard padded box to pop the camera into reduce the impact of vibration, or indeed any other impact. But to maximise space it would be best if it were carried lens down, supporting the 500g weight of the camera above. Is this a no-no? Alternatively can I carry it screen down (lens above)?

I don't really want to remove the lens and to carry the camera base down as this mucks up the limited bag space.

Your thoughts please
