The essentials

What size camera bag do I need for travel?

For carry-on flights, stick to bags under 40–45L that fit airline limits. A 20–25L backpack usually fits a body, 2–3 lenses, and accessories.

Are camera backpacks allowed as cabin baggage in the UK?

Yes, if they meet size limits (typically 56x45x25cm). Check your airline; many allow one cabin bag plus a smaller personal item like a sling.

Which camera bag is best for a day trip?

A 10–15L sling or small backpack (e.g. Peak Design Everyday Sling, Lowepro) holds a body and one or two lenses without weighing you down.
