Tamrac Backpacks For Cameras

I have a couple of the CaseLogic backpacks, which I love and appreciate their lifetime warranty. This Tamrac is real nice with the broad wasteband and comfortable straps. The compartments are deep enough for multiple layers. I also like the bottom outside pocket for small items like smartphone and the 2 smaller ones above it. The clear zip pockets on the interior hold a lot.

I've used Tamrac bags for more than 30 years now. I got this one to hold my D850. If you have smaller lenses, you can probably use it for 2 cameras. However, I use the larger wide angle zoom and the mid-range. This takes up a lot of space. Still, it's a well-made bag that you can customize a little to fit your needs. I'll be buying the 10 to hold an old F5 and F3, film cousins.

Now let me start by saying this is a great little bag. Dollar for dollar, I like the Tamrac holster bags better, but if you find yourself perusing the offerings from Ruggard, you could do a LOT worse than this little gem. I now have the Hunter 50 and this Hunter 25. Sorry, I have a lot of cameras, haha. But since all my cameras are medium to large DSLRs, size becomes a factor. This camera is best suited to a small to medium Nikon DSLR, like a D50 or a D40. A D100 or a D200 or a D700 is not going to make it.But size aside, this is a well-appointed bag, full of features. It will never be a shoulder bag, but there is ample room for cards and batteries. Your camera's body is supported by two velcro-adjustable sling straps, and aside from that, you are out of room for stuff. But its a HOLSTER bag after all. Wyatt Earp didn't stash his sunscreen in his holster, just his six-gun. So if you want to travel light, with little room left over for jostling, pick up this well made little bag for your small DSLR. If you have something bigger, reach for the Ruggard Hunter 50 or the Tamrac 515 holster bag. It offers less PROTECTION, but I like it's accommodations better for long lenses. You can't go wrong with either brand.

Much of the photo/video backpacks out there fit into two categories: light hiking backpacks with protective features for gear, and urban messenger bags with dividers for small cameras and lenses. But what about professionals who want to safely carry large gear around town, but not necessarily on a safari excursion? This is where this bag shines. It's big enough to carry video cameras such as the Sony FS7 or Canon Cinema cameras, plus lenses and other accessories, along with a tripod, monopod, or light stands on the side. The dividers inside are customizable, and the bag opens up from the top, which allows you to set the bag down and access all of your gear conveniently. The bag has a semi-rigid shell all around for protection, and the padded backside and straps makes it a very comfortable carry for long periods of time. I've carried around an assembled C100 with 4-5 lenses, interview audio kit, an LED light (in the large front pocket) and a light stand, plus batteries and chargers and everything needed for an all-day documentary shoot. The only potential downside is that the semi-rigid shell makes this backpack firmly maintain its big size no matter what you put in it, so it could be overkill when you only need to carry small gear. But there are tons of other messenger-style bags for those days. For the times when you need to carry large gear around town, on your back rather in suitcases, the Campack is perfect.

I use the anchor system on all my cameras and a few of my bags/backpacks to hold straps and coffee mugs etc. they've worked in most circumstances although a different length of cable/string would also be beneficial in a few cases.

I've owned two Keyholes for a couple of years and had them attached to our backpacks. They holds our cameras safe & stable when hiking over rough terrain. Been looking for a harness for those shorts hikes where I didn't want to wear a heavy backpack. This was the ideal solution. Highly recommended.

a guy next to me while everyone was on their bellies with cameras on backpacks or towels and his camera was on this Edelkrone camera stand. I took a stealth pic of his gear and then went online to purchase one. LOL. I put my camera on it and had one leg extended that I held while shooting a sporting event. Pleasantly surprised at how steady I was and the thing was not even on the ground. Needless to say I really like it and look forward to taking out when I go shoot weasels and other little ground animals.

I have lugged around my full-size cameras and lenses with backpacks that, after a while, left me exhausted and strained.� This is the perfect marraige of choice of backpack (when climbing) and roll-on (when at airport).

I've tried out or researched a long of side-access slings and backpacks, and almost none have a wide enough opening to access two cameras with attached lenses. The Solstice 10L has room for two mirrorless cameras with moderate-size zoom lenses side by side, with room for an additional lens, all equally accessible. Beyond that it's nicely minimalist and very light.
