Protection and Weatherproofing:

Camera Compatibility:

When selecting a holster bag, ensure it is specifically designed for your camera type. DSLR cameras, for example, require larger bags due to their size and the presence of mirrors and prisms.

Some holster bags are also compatible with both DSLR and mirrorless cameras, offering versatility for photographers with multiple camera systems.

Storage and Pockets:

Consider the amount of storage and the number of pockets you need in your holster bag. If you plan to carry extra lenses, memory cards, and other accessories, look for a bag with multiple compartments and pockets to keep your gear organised. Some bags even have dedicated pockets for specific items like lenses, filters, and battery packs.

Comfort and Portability:
