On a recent trip to Spain, I realized how hard it was to actually change lenses during trips and to take out my camera when I spotted the perfect moment. But the moment whizzes by the moment you fumble around. That got me into researching a solution for trying to store and transport bags.

Now the average backpack is good, but you have to go into some acrobatic maneuver to get your camera in front of you and out of the bags. Which is a hassle.  I’ve searched from all kinds of brands, with Think Tank and Kata having some good ones. Next is stealth (avoiding detection). You want a bag that’s big and comfortably fits your gear without it screaming out…

“Steal me! I’ve got goodies in me worth at least a couple of thousand dollars!”

So that’s definitely a big point. I’m really into Think Tank photo gear because they make stuff that simply works. One of their line up includes the urban disguise series which is bags to be used in urban environments.

The urban disguise series, with different models to suit your needs and gear.

Their price range seems a bit high for our standard, but seeing the product at Jacobs Photo shop, it is definately made out of high quality materials and very sturdy. One kind of system that i seem to be very interested now is the Think Tank modular system. Basically its a belt system with your lenses and gear on that belt. The gear are in pouches, hence modular.

A very smart and quick way to access your gear while shooting.

There’s no simple way and no so-called perfect bag, or else we would all have it by now. Research and experience is the way to go. Go to a shop and try out the bag. Buying bags online is risky as you have a risk of it not working out as you’d want it to be. I’m saving up and have a high probability of buying a think tank modular system, we at Lensa would like to hear what you think is the perfect system. So drop a comment ; ) Happy Holidays
