The rotation180° Horizon 34L is quite unique. It appears to be a normal hiking pack, but a special waist belt system lets you to rotate out camera equipment or other gear quickly, without taking off the pack. The main compartment also has significant storage for hiking and outdoor gear. This is a great bag for photographers looking to nimbly snap shots on the go.
The Athlete pack is new on the scene. Their particular approach focuses heavily on the support system: similar to a backpacking bag, a chunky waist belt takes almost all the load off your shoulders. The pack also offers two different strap placements for users of different heights, and three waist belt girths for those of different sizes. Access your camera through the back panel through an innovative, origami-like panel that can pop in or out to vary your storage.
The most traditional camera bag on our list, the Backlight 26L is a standard back access camera bag that’s fully structured with padded material. A few things make it stand out from the crowd. First, it’s undoubtedly well-organised, with a pocket and slot for everything. Second, its waist belt lets you rotate the entire bag around your torso to reach gear through the back panel, then use a small band to hold it up around your neck.
The Shimoda Explore 40L is another newbie but goodie. Only on the market for a few months, the Explore 40 adds new features—such as side access, redesigned modular camera inserts, and adjustable shoulder harnesses—to a bag similar to the F-Stop.
