Mini Test: Camera holster bags
Cut the clutter and travel light with top-loading holster for your camera and an attached lens
Be quick on the draw with these bags
IT’S EASY to feel that we often carry a big camera bag or backpack around, stuffed with our Canon gear, extra lenses, flashguns and other goodies, when all we end up using is the camera itself and our one most preferred prime or zoom lens. It can literally be a pain in the neck, as well as a time-waster if you’re exploring museums and other attractions where you have to submit large bags to be searched.
Camera holsters or ‘toploaders’ for carrying a camera body and attached lens have been around for decades, which is good, as they’ve been redesigned and refined to the point where they’re pretty much perfect.
Available in a wide range of sizes to suit everything from a dinky little EOS M camera and retractable lens, to a mighty 1D X Mark III with a 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom, you’re sure to find a holster that’s your perfect fit. They’re sometimes available in a variety of different colours as well, to suit personal preferences.
We’ve rounded up the best holsters on the market right now, to suit every type of Canon camera and lens combination, at the widest range of price points.
