I love my new camera bag – I have as many camera bags as some people have purses. This is my rolling bag that carries all my essential cameras, lenses, and some flashes.

And why I am blogging about it today? The security features built in to the bag. There are two locks for the bag. One lock is to keep the bag closed and the second lock can be used to attache the back to something stationary. Just my luck today I am showing the back locked to a plastic chair at an event from the weekend. In the future I will be doing my best to lock the back to something more solid.

Typically I like to keep things locked out of sight – maybe in the truck of the car. If that isn’t available you have to hide your bag at an event – maybe there is a backroom that limits access to the general public.

The best security is to keep your gear on you. If you can’t, then keep it out of view and as many obstacles such as locks to keep it safe.

Lock up your camera gear!
