I last wrote about my camera bag in 2020, and not a lot has shifted, but probably enough to have an update post about it!
Since my last time writing about this bag, I’ve moved from Android to iOS, and I’ve been shooting with the X100V for a lot longer. The Peak Design 3L Everyday Sling is still the bag of choice, holding just enough for my small kit. Here’s what’s in the bag now:
Fujifilm X100V
JJC Filter Adapter and hood
Tiffen Black Pro Mist 1/4 49mm filter
128GB Samsung EVO Select SD card
Peak Design Leash
Fujifilm TCL-X100 and WCL-X100
B+W MRC Nano Clear filters on each adapter
Fujifilm EF-X20 flash w/ case
Microfibre cloth
2x Neewer Fuji batteries
Business cards
Airtag
DIY flash gel kit
Big Idea Design Titanium Pocket Tool
GUS pill fob with some OTC meds (Ibuprofen, benadryl, etc)
External straps for the sling
49mm filter holder
B+W MRC Nano Clear Filter
NiSi True Color Pro Nano circular Polarizer
Tom Bihn Ghost Whale Small
Mophie 6000mah power bank
Anker USB-C to USB-C 3ft
Anker USB-C to Lightning 3ft
Lightning SD Card Reader
Anker Powerport Nano III 30w
Tom Bin Ghost Whale Super Mini
Ray-Ban Folding Wayfarers
This setup basically affords me everything I need to shoot and edit remotely for an indefinite amount of time, and also doubles as a day-bag and a tech-bag while travelling with photography in mind. Lightroom Mobile and Adobe cloud really are game changers when it comes to keeping it light, and modern phones with powerful and efficient processors and great screens make it very easy to get solid basic edits while in the field.
I’ve got more tweaks to make (67mm filters anyone?), but for the time being I’ve been pretty content with the kit!
