Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
With the drone-splosion fully underway, we are starting to see some really great drones and some really great accessories. One of the accessory lines that has been sparse among mainstream companies has been carrying solutions for drones. There have been a few backpack and hard case solutions, but most have been very similar in design.
Enter Lowepro and its new DroneGuard Kit. [Read more…]

B&H has the Kata Lite-441 DL camera bag for $18.99 (orig. $54.99) as today’s Deal Zone deal. I suspect this is a clearance item of the remaining stock and that these bags will sell out before the day is over.
Manfrotto recently absorbed the Kata brand in favor of making Manfrotto-branded bags while using prior Kata designs. There are likely few of these remaining (and Kata made great bags, which is why Manfrotto uses those designs now). Check out this deal while it lasts here at B&H Photo.

The Booq Python Slimpack is a compact backpack that can handle a decent-sized DSLR kit. It is a comfortable bag to wear – with more than adequate padding on the shoulder straps and back contact points.
The Python Slimpack is made with a rugged, ballistic nylon exterior with a water-repellant coating. It has a top opening for quick access to a camera and lens. The main compartment, however, is completely concealed with access only via the back panel. As a result, you have to completely remove the bag from your shoulders in order to gain access to additional lenses or camera bodies. [Read more…]
The Lowepro ProTactic 450 AW is a large camera backpack suitable for just about any camera kit. It can handle a couple of pro bodies and/or several spare lenses. [Read more…]
If you use a GoPro camera, there is a good chance you have more than one. At the very least, you have plenty of parts and accessories for your camera.

Case Logic recently sent me their new Kontrast Action-Cam Case to try out. I’ve been using the case for a few weeks now and am completely sold on the idea of a dedicated bag that is made for GoPro gear. [Read more…]
