Today we're going to be talking about an option for you guys.
If you don't have the budget for camera bag right after this intro,
what's good everybody.

Now today we're going to be talking about an alternative for a camera bag that
I've been using for quite some time.
I actually did a video about how to turn any backpack into a camera bag right
here, so I suggest you check it out.
I leave the link down in the description box as well. Now before we get started,
I just want to let you guys know that I'm not getting paid to do this review.
I actually bought this with my own money and I really liked this case and found
it really useful. So I want to share with you guys. Anyways,
for the longest time I was looking for a decent camera bag,
but most of the ones I saw and most of the YouTuber's used were about $200.
I mean those were really good, but then if you're like me,
you probably spent most of your money on a camera and some lenses already,
so I found an alternative for that and actually use the backpack I already have
and for what I do, it works out really well.
And what's good about it is it's about 40 bucks on Amazon.
Now this is a camera insert case from G Raphy.
I think that's how you pronounce it.
What I like about this case is that you can put your camera and lenses in here
and then you could just put it inside your backpack.
It has enough padding inside and have this dividers that you could customize to
your liking. It has Velcro so you could adjust or remove it to however you like.
Now this one particularly,
you can store it to mirrorless camera and a couple of lenses.
It has this mesh pocket that you could store, memory cards, batteries,
cables or whatever random stuff you need.
I will leave the dimensions of this down to the description box so you guys
could check it out.
Now it has this type of nylon material that makes it durable and waterproof.
But to be honest, I'm not going to be using this in a heavy rain or anything,
so I didn't really test that out.
I guess now I'll have to take their word for it.
Now without the equipment and the padding inside,
it's soft enough that you could fold it and store it.
It's lightweight and portable, which I really like. And I think they said it's
about only point 64 ounces.
Now you could use this as is and use it with a shoulder strap or like a tote
bag. I don't really know where mine is at. I think I started somewhere.
Um, I don't really use it. So since I put this inside my backpack anyways,
now even has this top handle if you want to just hand carry it in short
distances. Well what do you guys about this?
Do you think it's efficient enough to use as an alternative for a camera bag?
Let me know in the comments section below.
Not the only downside about this case is that when you use this with your
regular backpack, you won't have the easy access that a camera bag has.
Most camera bags have the zippers on top or the sides.
So you can easily access your camera on the go.
With this you have to open up your backpack and take out the case to access your
camera and lenses and then store it back inside.
Now it doesn't really bother me with my work, but some of you guys might.
So I want to let you guys know about it.
And also I took this as a carry on when I went to Arizona last October and the
TSA likes for passengers to remove the camera and place it in a separate bin.
So that was a little pain in (bleep) since I had to remove the case and put it
back, especially when I packed my backpack with other cameras,
stuff in it and pretty much had to unload all of it. Then repack.
But like I said, it doesn't really bother me when I'm doing a photo shoot.
I actually even use this as a storage for my camera and lenses.
Since I use my backpack for work,
I usually have this case out in a cabinet or something and when I'm ready for a
photo shoot the next day I just grab it, put in my backpack and I'm ready to go.
Well if you guys want to check this camera, insert case from G-raphy,
I will leave an affiliate link down below and if this is too big I leave a
smaller case for you guys to check it out.
And if you guys don't think this is one for you and it's still preferred camera
bag,
I will leave a camera bag that I used before I started using this camera insert
case. It's still cheaper than those other camera backpacks. Well that's it guys.
