Bag for the camera

In the arsenal of a professional photographer and enthusiastic amateur there are accessories, without which the transportation of equipment would be problematic. We are talking about bags for cameras, which are created specifically for owners of equipment.

When purchasing a camera, the buyer is faced with the choice of whether to take the bag for the camera or not. In this case, the person may be guided by the desire to save money or proceed from the fact that he is not going to often carry the equipment with him. However, transportation of equipment without the use of specialized accessories leads to its premature failure.

Bags are designed to meet the needs of photographers and have dimensions corresponding to the size of specific equipment. Covers will be useful not only for professionals who go to the shooting, but also for beginners or tourists. The accessory is especially convenient when traveling, when you can hang it around your neck or shoulder, freeing your hands or a place in a suitcase.

Functions of bags for cameras:

• transportation of equipment over long distances;
• storage of additional accessories, cables, chargers;
• Protect the camera from shock, water and dirt.

Covers for SLR and digital cameras vary in size. The latter are characterized by compactness, because they are suitable for small bags that can be hung around your neck, carried in your hand or put away in a regular backpack. As a rule, such accessories are devoid of additional pockets and compartments.

Different accessories are also selected for each model of the mirror camera. The largest are full-frame professional cameras, often carried in specialized backpacks.

A line of amateur equipment, such as the Nikon d3300, Canon eos1200d, Canon 600d, Nikon d3200 are placed in a relatively small trunks.

If we compare the equipment from the two manufacturers, they will also differ in size. The carcass of the camera Canon, larger than the cameras of other brands. The same applies to optics. In particular, the whale, bundled Nikon lenses have small dimensions. The above should be considered when selecting accessories. The safety of the equipment will depend on how correctly the bag is chosen.

Photo bags are made from high-quality synthetic fabrics. The most popular materials for tailoring are nylon, polyester, polyurethane, which are resistant to premature wear. The need to use durable, waterproof fabrics due to the fact that most cameras can not withstand moisture. Thanks to the use of covers and photo bags, you can take equipment with you during bad weather and under rapidly changing climatic conditions.

Accessories will protect the equipment from direct sunlight as well, since materials will absorb excess heat. The inner lining is made of soft material, additionally protecting the camera from shaking. In addition, the bags are special partitions, with which you can adjust the size of the main compartment, taking into account the size of the equipment.

Zippers and zipper bags are made of metals with anti-corrosion coating. Textile straps do not stretch, retain their size after prolonged use, and fasteksy and clips are resistant to external influences. These parts are easily fastened and unfastened, which allows you to quickly adjust the length of the straps, open the bag.

The advantage of the materials from which photo bags are made is the fact that they are easy to clean and wash.This feature of accessories is relevant because during the shooting they often have to be put on the ground or the floor, because of which aesthetic characteristics suffer. It is enough to wipe the outer surface of the cover to bring it in order. If the lining is dirty, you can use soap or powder.

Depending on the size of the equipment, certain models of cameras and the number of accessories transported, there are several types of bags:

• Professional photographers prefer larger models, since they need to carry not only the camera itself, but also interchangeable lenses, an external flash, batteries;
• An amateur of such a quantity of equipment is not required, because miniature is one of the main requirements that he places on the product.

There are several types of accessories for carrying cameras.

The most common model, presented in different dimensions and suitable for the needs of amateurs and professionals. In addition to the main compartment, the accessory is equipped with side and internal pockets for carrying cables, chargers, memory cards or a second lens. Manufacturers create both small photo bags and large, designed to transport large quantities of equipment.

Models are supplemented with a soft lining that protects equipment from shaking. Photo bags are equipped with a long strap, thanks to which they can be slung over the shoulder. Also, models have a short handle for carrying the camera in hand. The shape of the accessory varies with different brands. There are rectangular, trapezoidal, square models.

The peculiarity of such accessories is the fact that they, as a rule, repeat the shape of the camera. Only a camera with a lens fits inside, sometimes small pockets for storing small items can be placed on the accessory. Trunks and covers are equipped with an internal strong frame, characterized by impact resistance and resistance to wear. Thanks to him, the equipment will not hang out during transport.

This type of accessories is rarely found in stores and is not suitable for transporting large cameras. The accessory is equipped with an adjustable strap attached to the belt. When carrying the bag should be securely fastened so that the camera remains safe and sound. The model allows you to free your hands, less loading the spine.

Option for professionals. Inside there are special compartments for storing the carcass of the camera, lenses, memory cards, cables and other things. If necessary, even objects that are not directly related to shooting are placed in the backpack. In particular, there you can put a wallet, phone, keys, which will eliminate the need to take another bag with you.

Large photographic backpacks contain a full-frame camera, several fixed-lenses (portrait, wide-angle, full-time) and a telephoto (for example, with a focal length of 70-200 mm). The accessory will fit the battery pack, flash and batteries for it, optics cleaning products, external light. There are models of backpacks, which are attached to the tripods, as well as those in which carry reflectors.

Such models are a cross between a backpack and a bag. They have only one strap, smaller dimensions and have a relatively low weight. The advantage of the accessory is that it can be easily transferred from the back to the shoulder when you need to get a camera. And the compactness of the sling bag makes it suitable for travel.

However, the model has several disadvantages. When a photographer has to take a lot of equipment with him, a backpack with one strap will not evenly distribute the weight, which has a negative effect on the back. In addition, the strap may sink into the chest, restraining the movement of the photographer.
