Camera Bag Review; A Wedding Photographer's Perspective

So.... I've ran into a big problem lately.  My ever growing camera arsenal just doesn't fit into ONE camera bag anymore.  I've been lugging around 3 bags for over a year now.  Toting all these bags on one shoot is quite tiring (not to mention makes me look like a pack mule).  Gone are the days (for me) of the cute girly Kelly Moore bags... and I'm okay with that.  While I love my Kelly Moore bags, they just aren't big enough.  I use ALL of my lenses during one shoot, so I like to have everything on me.  Sometimes you just gotta be practical.  This year I will be traveling more for weddings and engagements.  This really pushed me to find a better option for storing and carrying my gear.  I really wanted a rolling case to relieve the stress off my shoulders from carrying bags.  I researched Think Tank and while this company is the Top Dog for rolling cases, I was not ready to drop $300+ for one bag.  After further investigation, I found Domke rolling cases and my jaw literally dropped at the price!  I purchased the Domke Rolling Propack 220 for $99.99 from B&H.  That's a 1/3 of the cost of a Think Tank bag! 

I went from this: 

To this!

.... And everything fits! 

2 pro DSLR bodies, 4 lenses (one 70-200mm), 2 580ex flashes, pocket wizards, external battery pack, spare batteries, an LED light and etc. fit into this bag!  There is also slot for my laptop.  This bag also comes with a tripod bag to strap on the outside of the case if desired.  I am overall pleased with the quality and durability of the Domke 220.  If you're looking for a more affordable option to Think Tank, I'd HIGHLY recommend this brand.  For all you pack mules out there, give your back a break and get a rolling case.  I hope you find this blog post helpful!
