Amazon 20% Discount Kata Camera Bags
Thanks to a tip from Conrad about Amazon offering an additional 20% off select Kata Camera Bags for a limited time. Aside from the discount, some qualify for additional Mail-in-Rebates. Double the discount. Definitely not as cheap as the LowePro stuff i’m using (which i’m happy with), or the [...]

When it’s time to pack for a shoot, i’m a roller bag kinda guy. Easier on the back, and a good way to transport heavy gear. Instead of using one very large roller, I use several FAA approved Airline Carry On sized roller cases. It keeps me from making one case too heavy, easier to [...]

Here’s a couple of small packs I recommended. When I just want to carry the bare minimum, my lightweight bag is a Lowepro Fastpack 100. I chose this one, because I hate the single sling setups. With the sling, there’s just too much weight on one shoulder. Using the double straps evens out the weight. [...]

Here’s a couple of things I highly recommend you should already have with your lenses. The day you purchase your new camera lens, the store will always suggest you buy it with at least a basic UV Filter. I’m not going to argue about the price and quality of the stuff they are pushing, but [...]

Calumet BP1500 Large Camera Equipment Backpack

I’m more of a Roller Bag type guy whenever possible, but Vimeo member Rod Guajardo seems to have a thing for backpacks. He’s thrown up an entertaining review of Calumet’s BP1500 which by the way looks totally awesome. I’m not sure my frame can hold up under a bag that big, is that in a [...]

Someone emailed me about a way to use a Camera strap without the Tripod mounting hole, but something that can be taken off easily. Here’s something I used to do back when I was flying the Steadicam Merlin stabilizer. I used the strap to carry the camera, but then needed a way to quickly take [...]

If you’re gathering up quite a bit of gear and looking to upgrade your camera bag, check out the Tamrac 5788 Evolution 8 series. The bag can be worn either as a backpack or a sling on either shoulder. Access to the main compartment can be accessed from each side or from the back. Tons [...]
