Picking the Right Camera Backpacks
Photographers need sturdy camera backpacks to carry expensive cameras and other essential equipment. Photography backpacks are bags with dedicated pockets for photography gear. They come in different sizes and with varying sets of features. While photographers can fit compact cameras and a couple of lenses in shoulder bags, they need spacious, travel-friendly knapsacks or hiking camera backpacks for bigger cameras and their interchangeable lens collections.
Benefits of Camera Backpacks
High-end cameras usually come with protective cases for carrying them, and you can also find sturdier third-party DSLR and mirrorless fitted cases. However, a backpack makes it easier to carry your photography equipment. It frees your hands and lightens the load of heavy gear by evenly distributing the combined weight. These benefits are especially important for traveling photographers and those doing outdoor work. In addition to dedicated pockets for camera bodies and lenses, some camera bags also have built-in laptop sleeves. Consider a laptop backpack if you'd like to edit shots on your computer as soon as you shoot them.
How to Choose the Right Camera Backpack
First, consider size and capacity. Make sure you can fit all the photography gear you need in the bag you pick. Select one with multiple inner pockets of different sizes to fit lenses, cables, batteries, a cleaning kit, and other essential accessories. Make sure it has amply-padded compartments capable of protecting this gear in the event of accidental bumps and drops. Some backpacks also have exterior compartments for water bottles, and harnesses for securing tripods and monopods.
Only consider a one-strap sling bag for small cameras and short trips, as a backpack with two straps is more suitable for carrying heavy photography gear. A waist strap also provides extra support when carrying heavy equipment. Find a DSLR camera backpack with padded and adjustable straps, as these are more comfortable to carry.
What Are Camera Roller Bags?
Roller bags are backpacks with wheels. They're optimal for professional photographers traveling with numerous kit items. Since they're mobile storage, rolling camera bags are also ideal for people with back pain. Consider getting one if you need a portable photo studio at shoot locations.
Camera Backpacks Materials
Materials commonly used for backpacks include canvas, polyester, nylon, leather, and hard plastic. Cotton, polyester, and cloth fabrics are lightweight materials used for affordable choices. For a tear-resistant cotton backpack, look for one made of canvas. Nylon is a strong, synthetic material used for making durable models when carrying heavy gear. It's also the material of choice for water-resistant and waterproof camera bags. Different types of nylon materials used include Cordura, ballistic, and ripstop nylon. Leather backpacks are a common option among fashion camera bags, offering a supple texture and an elegant look.
Camera backpacks help photographers comfortably carry their gear when traveling and going to photo shoots.
