Better Fuji Photos Episode 34: Camera Bag Essentials

There are just some things that photographers should always have with them, and I like to break this up into the "must haves," "nice to haves," and "situation-dependent."

I'm also a big fan of the modular system - using organizers like those from Think Tank Photo and Shimoda to keep all related items together for quick transfer from one bag to another.

You can read more about all of these things in the accompanying web article: https://www.jmpeltier.com/camera-bag-essentials/

Must Haves:

  • Lens cleaning kit
  • Extra battery
  • Extra storage (SD) card
  • Appropriate smartphone apps

Nice to Haves:

  • White balance card
  • Lens cleaning solution
  • Small tripod
  • Tablet and external storage
  • Rite In The Rain notepad & pen
  • Portable battery charger

Situation Dependent:

  • Polarizing filters
  • Cable release
  • Red headlamp
  • External flash (& kit)
  • Rain cover
