Every photographer knows that lugging around expensive gear is no joke. It can be a pain to carry around a bag full of expensive equipment, and the last thing you want is your camera gear to get stolen. So how do you figure out which camera bag is best for your needs?
Here are the features to consider:
1.Durability
Repeated use will wear out any gear eventually. Look for leather or canvas material that is thick and stitched well. The important part is ensuring the zipper is durable as well.
2.Size
Be sure to measure your camera with its equipment before buying a bag, as some bags may not be suitable for taller lenses or bulky equipment like flash drives and batteries. With this in mind, your new purchase can either minimize items you carry with you or maximize space already being used.
3.Protection
You want a bag that protects your gear from the elements and bumps, dings, and general wear and tear during transport.
4.Comfort
When carrying your bag around all day, you need to ensure it’s comfortable. Try different bags with weight before buying to see if they cause discomfort or strain. If you cannot try before buying a camera bag, look for one with reviews stating how comfortable they are to wear.
5.Storage
The more storage space you have in your camera bag, the better. You’ll be able to store more of your gear in your bag and are less likely to forget something when you head out for a day’s adventure.
Nothing is better than being able to travel light and keep all your equipment organized. Remember, it’s not always about the most extensive or expensive bags out there; sometimes, it is about feeling so comfortable with a product that you’re willing to do it all day long.
