 Many photographers think a tripod is a tripod, a necessary evil if you want to get sharp pictures when using long lenses or long exposure times. But a tripod is more than a camera-steadier, and tripods vary greatly in design, features and versatility.

|
|
By David Willis
|
|
 Whether you’re setting out for a big trip or just a day hike, you need
a camera bag to protect, organize and keep all of your gear together in
one place. The right bag for the job will balance convenience with

can fit most or all of your camera system when you need everything with
you.
