Camera bags: Here is what we carry

The contents of your camera bag should help you get the best shots while you’re in the field. Carry too large of a bag and it may hinder your shooting. If your bag is too small, you are limited to certain shots and perspectives. In this video we wanted to share what we bring with us every time we’re out the field. This is our bare-bones bag. Clearly we’ll bring more with us in extreme backwoods shoots or specialty shoots, but we never leave without these things.
