Domke advantage is not obvious, but with the advent of experience begin to understand it.

Photo Bags

If the set of your equipment is limited to oneCamera and several lenses, the best option for you - waist bags. The choice of those who are interested in the speed of the camera extraction, rather than the convenience and spaciousness, will fall on him. There is a large number of options for wearing waist bags that can compensate for their shortcomings. In order to exclude the sliding of the bag and to reduce the load, you can toss the strap over your head. If you move the bag on your back while walking, it will be convenient for you, as with a backpack. If you move to the stomach, you will be comfortable to use the bag as a support.
Plus, belt bags (belpacks) are divided into several subspecies.
• Bags-cubes. Keep the bag on your belt uncomfortable, although you can transport phototechnics in them.
• Bags-toploaders. The form allows you to carry a camera with a connected lens. They are compact and flat, which does not irritate the wearer when walking. Despite this, it is worth noting that the interior space is not successful. Toploader rarely when it contains the second lens. However, in plus it is possible to bring the price and compactness of production.
• »Flat» bags with vertical access. Such bags are the most perfect. We will name its best representatives: Giottos 2221, Domke F3X, Kata EXO-7, Tamrac 5501, Crampler Ben's Pizza L, Acropolis KM-60, Lowepro Rezo 170 AW, NG-2345.
• Small bags fastened directly on the belt. This option is found in most representatives of shoulder bags, but using them in this way is extremely inconvenient.
• To date, the best representative of belt bags is Kata Format Q, which for all its compactness contains a camera with a removable lens.

Slings and backpacks

The photo bag, loaded with a professional camera and a set of optics, turns into a burden. ? YUKZAKI also distributes weight throughout the body and is therefore designed for a more serious load.

Phototypes are divided into four groups:
• »Universal». Convenient for travelers, cyclists and skiers. The upper part is used for things, a laptop, products, the lower one is reminiscent of an ordinary wardrobe trunk. Storage of the second chamber in the upper compartment is not provided. For this reason, it is impossible to use the volume of the backpack by 100% with a large number of photographic equipment. Variants of backpacks: National Geographic 5159/5162 (»army»); GEN-3 Backpack (rare); Crumpler Pretty Boy Back Pack (bright); Tenba Giottos 2011 (cheap), Kata Prism U, Kata Sensitivity V (very comfortable); Cullmann Ranger Comfort (nice design); Lowepro Primus AW (roomy); Tamrac 5546 Adventure.
•? Yukzaki with vertical (direct) access.Such a backpack can be called truncheon on the straps. In order to pull out the camera or lens you have to remove the backpack and turn it to the horizontal position. These backpacks are focused on professional use. Capacious. Allow to quickly pull out the equipment. Options: Tenba Shootout, Lowepro Mini Trekker AW, Delsey XEO BP-200, Kata HB-205/207, Tamrac 5575/5578, Delsey Pro Backpack 33.
•? YUKZAKI on one strap - sling.The system of such backpacks is well thought out. The main strap allows the wearer to quickly move the backpack to the abdomen while simultaneously turning it into a horizontal position. In addition to the strap, there is a safety belt, which is used at the time when shooting is not expected. More convenient and thoughtful options: Tenba GEN-3 Sling, Kata T-214. Lowepro also offers roomy slings - photo frames on one strap (SlingShot 200 AW, 300 AW - differ in size).
• »Intelligent» backpacks-systems. They are provided by Think Tank Photo. The lower part of the backpack is a removable repeat module attached to a wide belt. This module provides quick access to the camera. The upper section is used as an accessory compartment. If you only need a case, do not need to take a backpack with you - the components can be used separately from each other! »Turning» is maintained, since the trunk is fixed on the belt, for which it is rotated. Additional accessories, such as a battery case, a memory card pocket, large lens cases, can be fastened to a wide belt.
• The Think Tank Photo system combines twoImportant properties: modular design and the efficiency of camera extraction. However, at a not low price, the superiority of decisions over the more common slings is not so obvious.

Important-important »little things»

? Of course, everyone is not solving theoretical problems, but Your personal preferences, which will be formed when you hold a particular backpack in your hands. However, sometimes this is not enough - many of the nuances that distinguish low-cost and popular options from the more expensive and elite, you notice only when you start shooting. But then it's too late to change anything. So, we list the main points that require your attention.
Specialized bags for transportation and storageCameras are divided into several types: top-loader, shoulder bag-trunk, sling-shot, fotoryukzak, waist bag / holster. Each of these types has its pros and cons. It should be noted that the modular systems have not been extended. The choice is so complex that you involuntarily think about the fact that it would be nice to get several at once for different versions of photocells.
For everyday wearing of the camera the most convenientIs a holster on the belt. If you are working in nature, you better fit a large fotorukkak, where the upper section is adapted for things that you need outside the city. If you specialize in reporting, then the most optimal option will be »tricky» versions of backpacks and slings, they make it possible to quickly extract the device.

? Yuzaki and photo bags differ from each other according toAnd the following criteria: material (leather, fabric, polyester), impact resistance (damping material), moisture protection (built-in »raincoat», impregnation), number of sections, the possibility of reconfiguring the sections for a specific photocomplete, capacity, own weight.

When choosing a backpack or trunk for a camera, check with yourSeller about the »innovative» design or a special technology for the production of polyester. Let's be frank, these words do not hide anything interesting. The main criteria for choosing backpacks and bags is the convenience of access and speed. Most of the trunks and backpacks are designed for carrying cameras, rather than for use during work.

At first glance, such trifles as availabilityReliable and wear-resistant coating on belts, preventing sliding, the number of side pockets in practice are very important details. One of the most common reasons that photo bags quickly wear out is the use of buckles that do not withstand extreme situations. It is important that the backpack or bag is equipped with zippers with nickel locks and metal carabiners.

Professional wardrobes are distinguished by their »dull»Design. Due to the fact that these products are used for professional purposes, manufacturers do not set themselves the goal of following fashion. On a luxurious design can not be counted. And only recently many people began to understand that the photo bag is not just an accessory to the camera, but an accessory that emphasizes the individuality of its owner.
