The backpack is perhaps the most under-acknowledged essential part of any photographer’s accessories. This is the bag that takes everything, and is also the best shot at organizing all your gear into some sort of functional order. The new backpacks on the market are truly great for getting the act together and making sure you’ve got everything when you need it.
The best backpacks are weatherproof, roomy, and lightweight with good solid wide straps to spread the load evenly. There are many compartments including cable, camera, and special storage spaces for those little things that tend to drop down to the bottom of whatever you’re carrying them in.
Types of backpack
It’s worth taking a good look at the backpacks, particularly if you really need to manage your equipment carefully while traveling or on a long extended shoot.
These are the main brands-
Bower- The Bower brand has practically anything you’ll ever need to see in terms of camera accessories, and their backpacks are typical Bower products- Cheap, highly functional and good quality.
Canon- Canon have their two EOS backpacks, one large and one small (EOSBAGS or EOSBAGL) and they’re surprisingly cheap. They’re designed specifically for sizes of Canon cameras, and add that “brand” look to your gear when you’re on the job.
Vanguard- The Vanguard backpacks are true designer backpacks, made for functionality and easy handling. They’re even designed to fold so they shrink in size when you don’t need the extra room!
Lowepro- The large range of Lowepro bags includes several different typesof backpacks, including the traditional backpack types, sports bags and the big, very functional Pro Runner carryall types of backpack, extremely useful if you’re carrying additional materials.
Tamrac- Another designer range, quite a bit more upmarket than the basic types, Tamrac backpacks include both a sports bag type and the very rugged but comfortable Adventure series, which are true outdoor backpacks with padding. They can even take laptops and tripods.
Shopping for backpacks
The good news for consumers is that these excellent backpacks are very cheap. Even the excellent Tamrac Expedition backpacks are very affordable, and the big professional Lowepro backpacks are available at very large discounts on retail prices online. Take your time and check out the different models, because you’ll definitely find a really good backpack well within your budget.
