Camera bag alternatives
Many photographers often carry a substitute camera bag, particularly when traveling. They do this so as not to draw attention to the fact that they are carrying photo equipment. This helps minimize the possibility of theft.
Instead of a camera bag, a photographer may place gear in carry-ons such as a:
- Briefcase
- Cooler
- Diaper bag
- Large pocketbook
Another advantage of carrying a non-traditional looking camera bag is that some are not prohibited in museums and similar venues. Unlike camera bags, there is often no requirement to check them in prior to entrance.
Before visiting a place that has restrictions against certain types of photography equipment, call to find out the policy concerning camera bags and equipment.
