PacSafe Camsafe X17 Anti-theft Camera Backpack ($119.96)
When carrying around thousands of dollars worth of gear, security matters. The PacSafe backpack bags have locks, RFID lined bags and protect you against slash and run theft. Reviews also report that they last forever.
Gitzo Adventury 30L Backpack ($199.99)
This is a great bag for anyone who loves adventure. Featuring a rain cover, an internal unit with dividers that can be completely removed and expandable roll-top, it’s also compatible with both regulars DSRLs and drones. Plus, it comes with a waist strap to help with weight distribution.
“I’d been looking for a travel camera bag for some time because my Pelican case just wasn’t as flexible as I needed it to be,” photojournalist Tara Pixley tells us. “This bag has a rolltop that lets it expand to include clothes/toiletries along with your laptop and camera gear. It’s incredibly versatile, weatherproof and looks pretty rad to boot. I compared about 15 bags before settling on this one and it is the go-to for a photojournalist who travels a lot for work.”
Tenba Shootout 24L Backpack ($245.95)
Built to be the most comfortable backpack in the market, the Tenba Shootout meets carry-on standards, can carry two DSLRs or mirrorless cameras, up to six lenses and your laptop. This pack is also waterproof, has a great front-loading lower compartment, is stylish and has sturdy nylon straps that secure most tripods.
Peak Design Everyday Backpack ($259.95)
Nicely designed with an adjustable height from 18.3″ to 22.3″, this bag is perfect for someone with a smaller frame.
ThinkTank Airport Roller Bag ($419.75)
“My ThinkTank Airport Roller Bag has kept me organized and tidy while traveling for assignments,” documentary and editorial photographer Julia Robinson says. “It fits on those small regional jets and handles my rough and tumble lifestyle.”
