My Gura Gear Kibobo Backpack goes with me Everywhere!

A short video I made to celebrate my favorite camera backpacks

I’m a big fan of Gura Gear bags and have been singing their praises for years to the wonderful folks who attend our Eloquent Light Photography Workshops and anyone else who is interested. Of course they are lightweight, have a terrific water resistant shell, are comfortable to carry across the landscape and are very well built and even have a place to hold my laptop—everything you should expect from a premium camera backpack. 

But for me the beauty of this backpack is in its design. I have worked hard for years to simplify the way I work and that includes not only the gear I choose but also how I pack and convey it into the field. Cameras and lenses need to be accessed quickly and easily, not hiding in difficult (sometimes impossible!) to find pockets and compartments. The Gura Gear Kiboko backpack does this admirably with the butterfly access to both main gear compartments. This allows getting to my lenses and cameras quickly so I don’t miss the rapidly fading light or an ever changing subject.

I am pleased to say that my Gura Gear Kiboko 22L and 30L bags both admirably care for my gear safely in the field without the fuss and frustration that some camera backpacks have had for me. It’s the small and thoughtful details that make these camera backpacks simply the best.
