Isn’t photography like a touch of eternity? A moment captured, stolen from time to be kept forever. Or maybe, photography reminds you more of storytelling, that makes you question or understand what is outside of its frame? One thing is certain, it is a form of art and an inspirational hobby that can take you on many adventures. Especially in today’s society, where we are taking photos of everything and everywhere. If you are a beginner, you must take special care of your camera and gear. The best way to do it is by choosing a proper backpack for it. 

There are several things to think about when choosing a backpack. What gear do you want to carry with you? Just your camera and tripod, or you might be needing a laptop as well? In what environment are you pursuing your passion for photography, in urban jungles or rainforests? What kind of weather will you be exposed to? When you know your equipment, you will be able to choose the right backpack. We are about to help all the newbies out there, by giving you the 5 best camera backpacks.

Do you love to hike and carry a lot of equipment? If you answered both questions with yes, then this backpack would be a great choice for you! It has a capacity for two cameras, eight lenses, a tripod, a laptop and a tablet. Compartments have configurable dividers, enabling you to adapt it to your needs. Its name says it all, large indeed! You can fit a 15.6’’ laptop in it! But there is also space for odd small items, like memory cards and such. There is a side pouch as well. Put the water bottle in it! You are going to need it on your hikes. Your equipment is safe thanks to the PVA armoured front panel. One bad side to this amazing backpack is that it isn’t fully waterproof, although it is water repellent. So, when it starts raining make sure to use the included rain cover. One more thing! There is an additional single camera bag to be worn around the waist for easy access.
