How to Comfortably Hike With a Camera on Your Next Adventure

By admin.ngtraveller | Aug 09, 2021

Let's see what you can do to make sure your photography needs are met without compromising too much.

Storage Tips:

First, how is the camera stored? Camera bags are not cut for rough use. You can't hastily put the bag in your giant backpack. It would be helpful if you had some filler to help you.

Your first option is to get a padded storage bag. You can have a storage bag like this. It is large enough and has padded pockets for all your accessories. The downside is that it takes up a lot of space. Let's be honest. Your accessories don't need the same coating as your lenses. It is wasted space.

Your next option is a neoprene camera sleeve like this one. This insert only protects the camera and lens. You get the same protection for much less space. This is perfect for long hikes where you don't need to carry a full camera bag.

Also, you can hang this cover on the bag. Hang it over your shoulder or waist for quick access. You cannot do this with a full charge.

For whatever reason my hikes are raining a lot more than I expected. But this creates a great mood in photos. You will need a waterproof cover for your important components. However, finding an exact fit and combination for your camera is difficult and expensive. You can get a suitable dry wrap like this as a cheaper alternative.

Accessibility Tips:

The point of bringing your camera is to access it quickly and safely. You can't take a few minutes to get it out of your backpack.

The first and safest option is the aforementioned camera housing. However, it does not have the same accessibility as point and collect.

An even simpler option is the camera strap with the camera. It sounds reasonable enough, but this is my experience. These straps itch if skin is directly involved, like wearing a tank top. After that, the load is not distributed, so one side of your neck or shoulder always hurts. It is an unpleasant feeling to be constantly under this pressure.

This third option is there to solve this problem if you have a backpack. You can get a sling design like this. It has an attachment point at the top of the backpack strap and another on the other side. The camera is then adjusted so that it is just below your chest.

However, I like a different design. The Think Tank Camera Support Straps have two attachment points at the top of each backpack strap. It gives me better control and less strings.

The first sling design allows greater access because the sling is longer and you can take photos without removing the camera from the strap. However, I take fewer photos and have no problem removing the bars every time I set the photo; each photo is its own. Choose the belt that suits your photography style.

Get a GoPro Hero7 Black

DSLRs are worth it, there's no question about it. But this is the truth. Since the advent of the GoPro Hero 5, the gap between DSLRs and GoPro has narrowed so much that it makes no difference to most amateur photographers. I will try to convince you to start using a GoPro instead of a DSLR.

The video quality of the GoPro Hero 7 Black is better than most DSLRs at half the price. Photos don't have the same level of control over ISO and shutter speed, but there is enough control to get the job done 90% of the time.

The GoPro Hero 7 and its accessories take up a small portion of the camera space, which means it can pack much smaller bags, especially on short trips. He's a life-changing agent in this department.

For accessibility, you get the most points. You can put it on your chest, your helmet, or on a light bar that you can clip to your waist. There is nothing better than that.
