The Best Camera Bags & Backpacks
Think Tank – BACKLIGHT 26L BACKPACK
This is the camera bag Pamela Goodyer uses.
MindShift Gear BackLight 26L Backpack
A top pick!
Last week, we were on the beach with our new drone, a tripod, and Canon 5R C, attempting to master photography and drone footage simultaneously. The color blast at the Jersey shore sometimes only lasts five minutes, so there is no time in between; you must do both simultaneously. We carried some of our gear in our backpacks only to have to put it in the sand and work out of it. THIS BACKPACK SOLVES THIS PROBLEM. You can keep it on your waist and not get sand all over it!
We have discovered this backpack with its innovative “Seat Belt” design (coined by John of Brick’s Photo Center); it solves all your weight-bearing problems. The weight is distributed on your waist rather than neck or back – a massive win for those with back and neck issues. We can now enjoy the beach without worrying about camera gear and pain.
Photographers who love the outdoors will appreciate the MindShift Gear BackLight 26L Backpack in black. It has a comfortable construction and provides ample storage for their gear. The padded back panel can hold multiple camera bodies, lenses, and other accessories. It is easy to access this compartment without taking off the backpack. You can remove the shoulder straps, rotate the pack to the front of you, and lay the bag horizontally like a tabletop. (As seen in the picture above) On top of the back panel are two mesh pockets to help store memory cards and batteries. With the waist belt making it possible to move around comfortably, this backpack will be an essential companion for outdoor photographers.
This mind-shift backpack offers a 9-liter front pack that fits a laptop or iPad and chargers for flying. When heading out on a hike, you can store items such as a light jacket, snacks, sandwiches in a ziplock bag, water and more – all while feeling comfortable.
