Carrying your camera around is kind of a staple unless you’re a full-time studio photographer, and still then – what do you do with your camera when you need to raise a light stand or adjust a prop? So unless your camera lives on a tethered tripod, you need something to comfortably transport your camera, ideally in such a way that your camera is shoot-ready in the blink of an eye.

You have just spent a few hundred on a camera, so a protective case that transports your gear is not the first thing you might consider all the way through. This wisdom develops after spending a lot of time with your gear.

You might find yourself checking out bag reviews after getting that second lens, a tripod or a flash kit. Suddenly your first bag seems to be getting smaller, and you’re ready to gear up.
