Today we're going to be talking about how to turn a backpack like
this or this or this.
Well
maybe not this one because this is a diaper bag, but something like this
into a camera bag right after this intro.
What's good everybody.
I'm Marc Mendoza and I'm an aspiring content creator here on YouTube, sharing with you
guys what I learned in taking photos and creating videos.
So if you guys are interested in this type of content, consider subscribing.
Now, if you're just starting to get into this photography videography game or maybe you're
a hobbyist like myself, you already got some equipment you going to be carrying around.
It's common sense to buy a camera bag to carry your camera and your lenses, but most of the
good quality camera bags are pretty expensive and they run about $200 or more.
Now, if you like me and you don't plan on spending that much on the camera bag, then
you could do this instead for a cheaper alternative.
And I just want to let you guys know that no one is paying me to recommend this at all.
I bought this with my own money and I actually found this alternative
work better for my needs and my workflow.
Now if you have a backpack lying around that you no longer use, you can get this insert
bag camera case.
This one specifically, is under 40 bucks.
Now you can get a smaller one if you want.
That can be under 20 bucks.
Really depends on what you wanted to carry on, what your workflow going to be.
For me, I usually carry about two to three lenses, so this one's specifically works for
my work.
Um, what I like about this case is that I can use the backpack that I already have and
it has enough padding to protect the lessons and my camera and you can change the dividers
around to your liking because they're Velcroed on.
Now I usually have this camera insert case inside my tactical bag like this, which has
a pretty thick and strong material.
This tactical backpack is my everyday use so I'm pretty comfortable
with this and it feels secure with my camera lenses inside the insert case with this backpack,
I've taken this to the airport as a carry on.
I've done a couple of photo shoots using this work and it works great for me and by using
a regular backpack, I usually have more pockets for storage.
Now the only downside of using a camera insert case like this instead of a regular camera
bag is the easy access to your equipment to get to your camera or your lenses.
You have to open up your backpack, take out the camera insert case and take out your camera
or the lessons you want to switch out of.
Then you got to put everything back compared to a regular camera bag, which is designed
for easy access.
This actually sucks when you're at an airport and they want you to take out the camera bag
out of the case and put it in a separate bin.
But for me it doesn't really matter.
It doesn't really bother me that much and honestly I wish I figured this out before
I even bought a camera bag like this because I don't even use it as much anymore.
I got really comfortable just using the insert with my backpack.
It could have saved me some money.
Honestly, I could store this in a cabinet or something when I'm not using it or I want
to use my backpack for something else, then I could just slip it back on when I'm ready
to go out in a photo shoot.
