today I'm going to show you what's inside my camera bag after searching for
about a week online through various brands and styles i settled upon this
one this is the manfrotto advanced travel backpack and i absolutely love it
now when searching for a camera bag it should accommodate all of your needs all
of your gear and all of your stuff
if it doesn't then it's not for you but this one is just perfect for me and
accommodate everything all of the gear that i mentioned in this video and in
the camera bag will be in the description below and hopefully i can
give you some good recommendations
since I have a little bit of everything in this camera bag
the first reason why i love this camera bag is because it has a dedicated laptop
sleeve
now when you're working or traveling it's nice to be able to import your
footage and work on it at the same time
so right here the sleeve can accommodate a 15-inch macbook pro on the website it
says it can help a 13-inch laptop but however I found it easily hold my
15-inch macbook
on the top there's this nice little pouch where you can store some of mine
on camera stuff
so in here I carry things like some gum
you always need fresh breath on the photo shoot I carried my keys
so I'm click on earphones sunglasses if it's really sunny my wallet case which
can also accommodate my iphone and it's always good to have an extra pen and
some headphones so i can fit all that check and a small little pouch and time
on this side they have these small little couches
I don't really use them at the moment but I'm sure I could fit some business
cards or paperwork in there on this side of the camera bag is supposed to be a
tripod pouch but instead I just dangle my tripod right off the center of my
camera bag in here i have my water bottle because when you're a
photographer
when you're talking about clients or when you're hiking around trying to find
the best spot
it's always handy to have some water and also way way way in the bottom says goes
really deep
I have a shower cap for my backpack
now way actually it's called a it's called a rain protector
so when I went on splash mountain a couple weeks ago at Disneyland
I put this over my backpack to keep it dry and I was actually the one sitting
in the front so i got the most wet and this little shower cap or a protector
kept all my stuff dry going back to this tripod
this is the joby gorillapod it has bendable legs so it can fit on to almost
any rugged surface like a rock and if you want you to wrap it around a Paul or
something like that
it also has a fluid ball head where you can position the camera at almost any
angle that you like and this is great for like traveling and for timelapses
all right let's get to the good stuff or the meat and potatoes
well let's forget the potatoes and let's get to the meat which is the stuff
inside this camera bag this camera bag opens from the slide on this flap right
here
I store extra battery because you never want to run out of juice and in here I
have some extra memory cards
so inside this camera bag is broken up into three compartments on the bottom I
have my canon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens
this is a really great all-around lens it's great for portrait sports and
concerts
however it's really expensive it costs about two thousand dollars if you're
looking for a telephoto lens that's a little bit cheaper
check out the camera version of this which is also in the description below
otherwise it's really fast and it's really sharp sense that that lens is so
gigantic
it took up my whole bottom compartment in this middle compartment
I have two lenses the first one is a portrait lens
this is the canon 85 mm f/1.8 lens
it's excellent for portraits you get a really nice blurry background
if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to this one you can get the
50mm f/1.8 lens by canon
this is about a hundred bucks so you can't go wrong with this guy and if this
guy doesn't do it for you
you can break the bank and get a $200 portrait lens
check out the description below next is a really great all-around lens if you're
buying your first lens i would highly recommend this one because it can do a
little bit of everything and it also shoots great pictures
so this is the tamron 24-70 f/2.8 lens
this is a great multi purpose lens because they can shoot really wide at 24mm
mm and you can zoom all the way to 70 mm in addition it
starts at f/2.8 so it lets in a lot of light compared to other lenses
so this lens is great for like landscapes portraits sports kids
whatever you name it is a great multi purpose lens in the top compartment of
my backpack
I have my camera strip and my camera body this is a black rapid strap
it's an over-the-shoulder camera strap so when I'm not using my camera it just
dangles to the side and then when I need to take a picture I just put my camera
up the strap and I can see the picture and finally here is my camera body
this is the canon 6D it's a full frame camera
so let me tell you a little story on why I selected this camera
I first started with canon cameras because they were great to shoot videos
with my first camera was the Canon t3i the equivalent today would be a canon t6i
now that was a really great beginner camera and after I outgrew it I wanted
to upgrade to a full frame camera and the baseline full frame camera on canons
lineup is a canon 6d the next level would be the canon 5d mark III
however that camera was a few years old and I think this August they're going to
be upgrading the canon 5d mark iii to the mark iv
and I heard that camera is supposed to have 4k video and if it does then I'm
definitely going to upgrade from the 6D to the 5d Mark iv anyways this is my
camera at the moment
it shoots really well at low lights it can shoot almost anything
it has a faster speed it focuses really quick
it's just a really nice professional camera if you're just starting out with
photography or videography i would recommend the canon t6i it's a really
great camera and then when you're ready to upgrade to a full frame camera either
get the cannon 6D or the canon 5d mark iv when it comes out
so that's what I have inside my camera bag if you're looking for any
recommendations check out the description if you have any questions
