But if you’re an active photographer that’s on-the-go and needs top-notch gear that will stand up to the abuses of everyday photography while giving you peace of mind that your gear will be safe and secure, we’ve got three recommendations to add to your must-have wishlist.
Multi-Camera Harness

With a system like the Money Maker from Holdfast, you can carry multiple cameras easily and securely, making your job of getting the shot that much easier. What’s more, by carrying multiple bodies with different lenses, you can cut down on the time you spend swapping lenses, which means your camera sensors have less time to collect dust.

Waterproof Camera Cover
When you’re shooting on location, there are a lot of elements that can cause damage to your gear. Rain, sand, ocean spray, dust, mud, and snow are just a few things that can come along unexpectedly and lead to damaged or ruined gear.
But with a waterproof camera cover, all of those concerns can go by the wayside. Though some camera covers are made of cheap plastic, the one pictured above by Outex is made of soft waterproof material that helps maintain easy access to the necessary buttons and switches on your camera and the zoom and focus rings on your lens. Better still, these waterproof camera covers work with all sorts of accessories, from flashes to tripods to intervalometers.
