The Top 4 Best Camera Bags: Kindly Camera Bags
Top: the XL Sling Bag; Bottom: The Jenessa
Can we talk about Kindly camera bags? I’ve tried many brands through the years, and I just bought my fifth camera bag through Kindly (including a second XL sling bag just so I have a backup!) These are by far my favorite camera bags.
If you’re on the fence, here are the bags I have and why I love them:
The Photographer’s Fanny Pack: this was the first bag I purchased, and it works well both as a fanny pack and as a crossbody bag, if you need it. Though, truthfully, as my equipment grew, I upgraded to the XL Sling Bag and that one is my go-to now, because it fits so much more!
The XL Sling Bag: I just bought a second one of these, because while I loved the Photographer’s Fanny Pack, this one just fits so much more. I can fit my 28-70 lens, my 70-200 lens, or my camera with my 85mm on it, along with a water bottle. It lets me leave my larger bag (The Jenessa) in the car so I don’t have to cart it everywhere I go.
The Jenessa: this is my biggest bag, and my main one that I’ve used to carry all of my equipment. It’s durable, spacious, and also has a backpack option which is key, since it gets heavy with all of my lenses in it.
The Courtney: honestly, I wasn’t sure if I needed this one, since I had my Jenessa and used it so much. But this one has been a great addition to the team. Slightly smaller than the Jenessa, with a top open instead of a side-open feature, I use this as my secondary bag and carry my laptop and secondary equipment in it. I’m glad I have both!
Clearly, I’m a bit obsessed. I’ve tried other brands and really love the warm brown color and the fact that my entire set matches, now!
BONUS: I designed and ordered custom Vistaprint luggage tags and put them on all of my bags just in case they are misplaced!
If you have any questions, or you’re on the fence about any of them, send me an email and I’ll show you photos or answer any questions to help you decide! Happy photographing!
