My Camera Bag – Kelly Moore Libby
Before Lee and I left for California I wanted to get a camera bag that could hold a lot. Like a LOT, a lot. I knew that I would be taking a camera plus a few lenses as well as renting a camera while visiting. I loved my first Kelly Moore bag so much, I decided to stick with her bags. This is the Libby bag. It is great for travel as well as weddings. I can pack just about everything I need to a photo session too. It is a little heavy to carry around all day, so at weddings it usually is my “go to” bag that sits in the back of the church or reception hall. I use my Classic bag to hold my camera lenses that I want to have immediate access to while shooting.
In my Libby bag I have:
- 5D MkII Camera
- 70-200mm lens
- 24-70mm lens
- 100mm lens
- 85mm lens
- 600 Ex-Rt Flash
Even with all of this the zipper closes very comfortably with some room to spare (I could put a laptop in there too if I wanted)! There are three zipper pockets on the front, and there is an open pocket on either side of the bag. On the back is a large flat zipper pocket that is large enough to (very comfortably) fit my ipad. It is also made of water-resistant, animal-friendly leather.
So we all know it holds a TON of stuff. But there are two features that really sold me on this bag. The first is that it stands up by itself (something that also sold me on the Classic bag). If you put enough stuff in it, to the point that it is top heavy with a camera hanging over the edge… yes, it can tip over… But if I use the bag how it is intended, it keeps my equipment safe and sound, AND easy to access. The other GREAT thing about this bag, is that it comes with several sizes of dividers that are attached to the walls of the bag by Velcro. You can configure this bag anyway you need to! How awesome is that?!
Oh, did I mention it also looks tailored and classy?
I’m a sucker for a nice brown “leather” bag!
Sturdy hardware all over this bag not only looks nice, but is well made and sturdy!
The iPad pocked… well, at least that is what I use mine for. :) My Classic bag also has this zipper pocket on the back. I will sometimes use it to store my grey card and reflector.
1 Camera, 4 Lenses, and 1 Speedlight with room to spare!
