Deciding which camera backpack is best for your needs depends on how much space you require for your gear. If you only plan on carrying a few
camera accessories along for the trip, a small camera backpack should be adequate. However, if you need room for other supplies not related to taking pictures, like food or a change of clothes, you’ll need additional space. With a larger pack, you can also transport devices like your
laptop for photo editing and a
mobile hotspot for downloading and sharing details from your shoot. Having lots of zippered pouches and separate areas for things like
memory cards and external hard drives can be ideal so you can quickly grab them when you’re out of storage space. Landscape photographers who rely on a
tripod for steady, long-exposure shots can benefit from a DSLR backpack equipped to carry a camera stand.
