My Boris Backpack
Camera gear weighs a lot. And as a nature photographer, I walk a lot. In forests, mountains and of course airports.
I love shooting animals, landscapes, macro, … so I stuff my backpack with all sorts of lenses and cameras. Usually at least 15 kg of toys. I love shooting with my big long and heavy 600mm lens. I take this lens all over the world, and there are not a lot of camera bags that can hide this monstrous lens safely, combined with a bunch of other gear.
My Boris Backpack takes almost all the gear I need, and the zippers on the back give it fantastic features: it never makes my Gore-Tex jackets dirty, and if I ever forget to close the zipper while wearing the bag, nothing falls out. It is also very safely closed so no-one gets in if, say, you’re walking around in a busy airport.
I have taken been the Boris bag with me for years now, and can’t imagine using another bag anymore. Highly recommended!
