What’s In My Camera Bag – The Bag
For my everyday shoots (engagement, family sessions, etc.) I carry my Shootsac. The Shootsac is great, but it only carries 3 lenses and maybe your keys and chapstick. For weddings I need something more substantial. In addition to my Shootsac (which I carry the lenses that I know I will need right then and there, plus my phone and extra batteries) I also use the Airport Airstream Roller from Think Tank. I love this bag for some many reasons. Let me count the ways:
1) It fits in the overhead compartment on airplanes.
2) It has a lock.
3) Not only does it lock, but you can also lock it to something. That’s rad when you’re shooting a wedding and you need to leave it for a few minutes. As someone who is super paranoid about getting her gear stolen, that’s cool.
4) It has a special compartment for my laptop that can also be locked.
5) The dividers inside the bag can be rearranged.
I’ve just about outgrown this bag, but will be upgrading to the Airport International next.
And if you order through this link to Think Tank, you get a free gift with your order over $50. How rad is that! You can get an awesome gift like the Pixel Pocket Rocket, which is my fav!

You are such a doll Drew.
we have this bag…and I have to agree that i love it.
great recommendation!
Drew, I’m just a newbie at all this stuff since I haven’t even had my DSLR that long. But, I’m loving this series! It’s great to see what you’re using and all the reasons you love your gear. Even though it’s way out of my league at this point I love feeling like I’m in the know…at least a little
I’m loving this series too. I have a Shootsac on my wishlist!
Love the look of the shootsac! Can you recommend something that stylish that will also hold my camera? I currently have the DSLR and 2 lens. I’m pretty new at this so don’t really need something quite as large as the rolling bag.
I am one of those super paranoid people about leaving my purse, keys, personal belongings, and camera equipment somewhere. I wear my camera gear in a slighly modified shootsac style bag. I refuse to sit it down and leave it anywhere even though the freedome of shooting without a bag on my hip is really nice. But this…this is a great idea. A lock on the bag that can be locked to a stationary object. Genius!
