WHAT IS IN MY BAG
I did alot of research on camera bags that would handle hiking – possibly over night and I settled on the Atlas Bags. I first bought the larger Adventure Bag – this is great when you need to bring extra gear not camera related and would work for overnight hiking. It was great for my Utah trip. I then decided I would like a smaller bag for day hikes and so I purchased the Athlete and am loving it.
Below is a list of my camera equipment
My Cameras
My Main Camera is a Mirrorless full-frame
Canon R-5
. I am in love with this camera! I am still blown away by the amount of detail I can get with it. It is a 45 Megapixel Camera
My 2nd camera body (and my Kayak camera) is an Canon 80D
, a 24 megapixel crop sensor. It is perfect for a 2nd camera. It is known for its video capabilities also and I try to utilize that upon occasion.
MY LENSES
Canon EF 24–105mm f/4L II USM
Lens – This is my go to lens. I keep it on my camera body most the time.
Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras – This is my wide angle lens.
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens
for Canon Digital SLR Cameras – This is one of my favorites lens. I use it for macro. It is image stabilized so that helps with catching insects.
Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM
Lens Great Zoom lens. I also have the version I which I use when on the Kayak.
Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
– I love this lens for Wildlife photography. An excellent lens!!
Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon EF
– Phenominal lens!
Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX DG Diagonal Fisheye Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Canon EF 2.0X III Telephoto Extender for Canon Super Telephoto Lenses – This is a great way to extend my 100-400mm lens. You lose auto focus so you learn to be good at manual focus on the fly.
Tamron 150-600mm
Movo GH800 MKII Carbon Fiber Professional Gimbal Tripod Head
FotoPro E6L Eagle Series 5-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with E-6H Gimbal Head
This is a phenomenal tripod and has the gimbal included which is great – I’m not having to change heads to do wildlife. It is a light tripod and works for hiking.

Circular Neutral Density Filters – several differnt stops
Rectangular Neutral Density Filters including gradient and really dark for eclipses
