We have toured the booths of the major accessories makers to see if they had any exciting photo / camera bags on show - and found some! One of our personal favourites was Think Tank Photo’s new Sling-O-Matic range of sling bags, which feature one adjustable shoulder strap that can be easily switched back and forth to either shoulder - a godsend if you need to carry heavy photo equipment for extended periods of time. The bag can also be brought forward quickly, and all your gear can be accessed from the top. Hama also has a solution to the problem of pain resulting from carrying heavy equipment on one shoulder, in the form of its new Katoomba 170RL and 190RL bags, which can also be worn on either shoulder. In addition to these, the German company dedicated a large part of its stand to the new Daytour backpacks that provide direct access to your gear from all sides.

In order to fulfil the needs of these consumers, Manfrotto is now offering everything from compact aluminium tripods to stylish bags, including a line dedicated to women. Also new for the company is a collection of LED lights targeted at videographers, from the simple and compact Pocket to the professional-grade Maxima and Aura ranges.
