Leave it to the good folks at National Geographic to design this useful and stylish camera bag (which can be used for anything from cameras to video cameras to laptop computers). The National Geographic NG W2140 Walkabout Midi Satchel Bag and all the Walkabout Series of bags are the best you can get as far as camera bags go, designed with the professional in mind.

It uses the latest weatherproofing technology to keep your requirement bone dry, and it has more than sufficient padding and support, so your delicate equipment will be safe under any condition. It has an impressive amount of storage space, and unlike cheap camera bags, no detail is left to chance: clasps are made of brass and punched aluminum instead of cheap plastic, internal pockets are lined with nylon with zippers and velcro to secure and protect your equipment. And it’s made with sustainable materials.

And of course, proceeds go to support National Geographic’s conservation programs.
