What's in a Photographer Chick's camera bag?

[chinohdez25]

Your hot and that couch makes you even hotter!! On a serious note great video, considering this bag, that's a lot of weight, how much does the bag weigh without the gear?

[TheSnapChick]

@chinohdez25 I have not weighed mine. It's made of synthetic materials, so it is quite lightweight.

[KBeOKEH]

She's sooooo boring!

[VIDARMATHISEN]

i bought the smallest slingshot, great bag but now it dont room enough gear

[KO8789]

Nikon rocks! 

[mothaybabonnam]

lets see your real bags

[mxh91]

im not gonna lie, but when you took the camera out i thought it looked like the guys ding dong

[pooandawesome]

hold down 3 to see her having a seizure

[fanbutton]

You forgot your tripod!

[TheSnapChick]

@fanbutton No tripod for me. They just hold my speedlights when I drag them around.

[bikepimp72]

Dont you carry more then one or 2 lens to wedding shoots and maybe a extra body?

[TheSnapChick]

@bikepimp72 Several extra bodies. 17-55 and 70-200 are my workhorses, but I always have either the 35mm f1.8 or the 50mm f1.8 on a third body.

[lasunbird86]

Nice video! I manage to carry a d7k, 70-200, 4 sb700's, 35mm prime, memory card holder, extra batteries, etc in my lowepro aw202.

...its a bit of a tetris game, but the lowepro bags are great!

[TheScriptersLtd]

Press 2 very fast to see SnapChick DJing

[TheSnapChick]

@TheScriptersLtd Hahaha! That's how I roll :)



[mohamed3212]

[lukebrenes]

Press 9 for guilty smile ...

[downtoearthwithben]

whatsinmycamerabag . com HEY PEOPLE CHECK THIS NEW WEBSITE ESPECIALLY FOR WHATS IN MY CAMERA BAG VIDEOS, START UPLOADING THEM SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE TO LOOK, SPREAD THE WORD

[HerAngel13]

tough those slots are ment for lenses not cables and charges.lol

[ErKro215]

are there any times you wished you got a smaller camera bag??

[TheSnapChick]

@ErKro215 I have two smaller Nikon bags. I really just use them as transport. Also a holster bag when I do want to carry a few extra items besides camera and lens.

[jerseyman9080]

I think you are so beautiful and I love all your gears.. I do have the same gears 70-200mm vr2, 85mm 1.4g, 24 1.4g, 300mm and D3x

[niceman1959]

Thanks Lee ... nice bag thanks again

[lgx22]

Hi Lee, why did you carry 2 speed lights...

[TheSnapChick]

@lgx22 If one needs batteries, I can change them at a convenient time.

[shropshire21]

Which speed light model do you use (SB-600, 700, or 900)?

[TheSnapChick]

@shropshire21 I have three SB-800's

[aprebyl]

Darn it...you're wearing a wedding ring! Great video :) Thanks!

[jeffrelee]

How does the teleconverter work with the 70-200? I'm guessing that is the lens you are using it with.

[TheSnapChick]

@jeffrelee It works terrifically - not quite as sharp as without, but still very solid performance... best around f8.

[flexflame]

I can't believe I didn't find your video stream sooner! :)

[TheSnapChick]

@flexflame :)

[EliteRabbit]

You're cute.

[TheSnapChick]

@EliteRabbit You're nice! :)

[braynumb]

I got excited when you said "Full Frame" camera... And you got me to go back on the video to re-confirm that I DID see a D70/D80... Wow...

[TheSnapChick]

@braynumb I used a d70 with grip in the video to illustrate that a large, FX camera like a D3 or D700 with grip will fit in the bag. Wow.

[MakWak]

damn. that lens is fcking beast!!!

[TheSnapChick]

@MakWak And heavy! :)

[Crapshoooter2]

Please accept my apology, I was frustration in my search and committed the act which I despise the most about blogs, forums and posts: making an anonymous rude comment passed on ignorance, stupidly and a lack of social manners… continue your comittment and enjoy the satisfaction you must recieve .

@Crapshoooter2 Hi! No problem. No need to apologize - everyone has an off day, and, as you can see, I really don't delete any comments unless someone uses language that isn't appropriate for younger viewers. You're more than welcome to comment or ask questions any time :)

[UrDadIsBent88]

Keep posting more videos, I like how people are just hating on you coz they know they will never get the same amount of subscribers.. Keep it up :)

[TheSnapChick]

@UrDadIsBent88 Haterz gonna hate! :)

[sgdevilzz]

Your camera is not an FX...



[TheSnapChick]

@sgdevilzz Did I say it was?

[sgdevilzz]

@TheSnapChick

you said, "we have, a room for a full frame camera (takes out camera)".

[TheSnapChick]

@sgdevilzz Yes, there is room for a full frame camera, like a D700 or D3 series. My D70 with grip is approximately the same size. If I had a full frame D3, I would have said, "Ha! Here is my D3!!!!! I love it!"

[Crapshoooter2]

Do you really think any one care about your bag? 129 videos? Please stop now ! The world has enought pollution.

[TheSnapChick]

@Crapshoooter2 Sounds like you should tune to a channel you like a little better.

[Mr40up]

OMG my dream women , we could travel all over the world together and i could tell you all about my CANON camera, MARRY ME?????? we would be so good together.

[sweetypie000]

no makeup ? lol

p.s - H O T !

[teamforteress]

why do girls always go for Nikon?

[TheShootTruth10]

@teamforteress well if you didnt know size matters.

[sjphs]

opppss, a tele converter.

[ObiJuan1991]

How much would you charge for doing a photography gig like a wedding or sweet sixteen. I'm going to try to use my skills as a photographer to help me pay for college but I don't know how much to charge?

[TheSnapChick]

@ObiJuan1991 I charge more than most photographers... and I do not work as often as many as a result. You have to decide how busy you want to be, and how regularly you want cash coming in. If you have a deep portfolio, you can charge more than the local market. If you don't have a strong portfolio yet, get friendly with photographers who you can assist or rely on a lot of networking. There is no 'right' price - there's what you are willing to shoot for and what your local market will provide.

[sweetypie000]

@TheSnapChick how much to take photos of me whilst I dine at a romantic cosy candlelit dinner for two in some swanky restaurant up town ?

oh and it'll be just you and me baby !

[demonfrog1776]

why the fuck do people carry battery chargers in their bag when you shoot a wedding?if your battery dies in the middle of it do you think they are really going to stop everything so you can charge your batteries?? dont put extra batteries in there or anything like that,carry huge chargers instead that take up room and add more weight.DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCKING RETARDS

[TheSnapChick]

@demonfrog1776 Don't worry about what I do - I carry spares and put anything that run out on a charger when I get the opportunity. I've shot weddings that have gone all night and into the next day. Do what works for you :)

[demonfrog1776]

@TheSnapChick whatever "snapchick" you're ugly,the only reason anyone watches your videos is because you have big boobs.I got like 13 messages telling me thats the only reason they watched them.ahhhhhhahahahahahahahahah­ahha,you suck as a photographer.

[TheSnapChick]

@demonfrog1776 Why do you watch?

[demonfrog1776]

@TheSnapChick just watch half of this one.durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,leave me alone you bore me

[SRAphotog]

@demonfrog1776 and while she is out doing what she loves and making money doing it your sitting there watching hundreds of videos talking shit about somthing you aparently know nothing about. haha 10 year old dipshit

[sjphs]

@demonfrog1776 i shoot a lot of social gatherings in schools, convention center, etc.. and everytime i brought with a battery charger coz i got only 1 spare set of batteries, if one dies, i replace it with my spare batteries and charge the one that is already empty. and everytime... it works for me.

[barebasicphotos]

@demonfrog1776 its so you can keep all your gear together

[playmobilandothers34]

just a question...

Whats your camera...

[TheSnapChick]

@playmobilandothers34 D300s, D3100, D2x, D80, D70... all Nikons. Oh, and a Canon Powershot G7 point-and-shoot, and Canon HG10 video camera.

[nofatchicks30]

are u a man,woman or both??

[xophaser]

@nofatchicks30 watch her other videos and you can tell the different.

[cubeproduktion]

one body, 2 lenses, teleconverter and 2 speedlites, thats a very tiny amount, is photography your job?

[TheSnapChick]

@cubeproduktion What is the correct amount of gear? Your comment has me confused!

[cubeproduktion]

@TheSnapChick Are you a stealth photographer?

[TheSnapChick]

@cubeproduktion Is that like a peeping Tom? ;)

[wraith88]

@cubeproduktion Excessive gear doesn't make a good photographer! A good image only takes one camera and one lens.

[cubeproduktion]

@wraith88 I sometimes get mixed up.

[aarmington]

i got a lowelpro x200 roller...I LOVE IT!!!

[TheSnapChick]

@aarmington They are great bags!

[telenerd]

@aarmington My absolute favorite is "think tank streetwalker harddrive" :-)

[FilmAndFap]

no transmitors? :O

[TheSnapChick]

@FilmAndFap What for?

[michonn2]

u r so sexi ;)

[TheSnapChick]

@michonn2 :)

[Gr49EG]

Hey I got that bag it works great, but compared to you im just a rookie

[xxxxjcvxxxx]

HOT

[siliconsurf]

that bag is too heavy for you

[xCCAKAxCPAKAx]

the bag is so clen that I think it didn't used before... and from portfolio I can see that there are only photos of herself... starnge...

[TheSnapChick]

@xCCAKAxCPAKAx I'm a strange one! :) I use the bag to ferry my equipment around. When I shoot, it's one or two bodies on my shoulders. Where did you see my portfolio?

[xCCAKAxCPAKAx]

@TheSnapChick

on your site, if you will say that it is not portfolio? then I will say that that all you can show... nothig personal... and sorry for my bad english.

[TheSnapChick]

@xCCAKAxCPAKAx My site is about composition, technique, portraits, and equipment. My commercial portfolio is for making money. Those are two different things entirely. :) Nothing personal taken... and your English is pretty good :)

[studiomirs]

Hi Leigh, nice video. I was wondering, whats the name of the full frame camera you have?

ps: I'm really happy with my d300s!

[TheSnapChick]

@studiomirs Hi! It was just a stand-in for a full-frame camera. It was a D70 with a grip, so it was impersonating the form factor of a D3 or a D700 with grip. :)

[mattandhisnikon]

@TheSnapChick I can't for the life of me figure out why you called it a full frame camera if its just a D70?

[TheSnapChick]

@mattandhisnikon Matt - It may just have to remain a mystery then. I was merely using the D70 with attached grip to illustrate that a larger form factor camera, like a D3 or D700 with grip will fit in this bag without issue. If I had either of those cameras readily available, I would not have used a D70 with grip as a stand in. I receive many questions in my email daily. A large percentage deal with the topic of FX bodies and whether something I have illustrated also applies to them.

[beepIL]

Hi there,

Thanks for sharing, but i find it less and less practical to carry that much with me...

dont you find it heavy after a while?

i do have my big bag with all the gear, but i also carry a small classified 160 bag for an ungripped camera with 70-200 and 14mm prime

and to be honest, i find that i enjoy photographing a lot more when i carry less..

what is your experience with a heavy VS light gear walk?

[TheSnapChick]

@beepIL Hi! I primarily use this bag to go from location to location and haul everything in it that I will need. When I'm actually shooting, I typically have two bodies, each with a lens, with the bag locked up. :)

[Alexvideoclip]

I'll take the 2 extra velcro dividers !

:o)

[TheSnapChick]

@Alexvideoclip I love that they give you enough for almost any configuration!

[Alexvideoclip]

@TheSnapChick If you want to check if your lens is sharp look for "nikon test chart" on Ebay.

If you like it I'll send you one :o)

[TheSnapChick]

@Alexvideoclip Thanks for the info. :) I'm much more into shooting real stuff than test charts.

[nikonguy102]

Brush you're stinking yellow teeth

[Alexvideoclip]

@nikonguy102 Brush you're stinking brain !

[laurence521]

wow you have a lot of camera accessories,its great that all will fit into the specially made camera bag. then you dont have more bags to carry while traveling. I like that

very good leigh

[cookiepwnsU]

kind of off topic, but i was wondering what camera i should get as a first dslr, i was thinking of a canon d3000 (rebel t2i in north america) so i was wondering if this would be any good for nature photography?

[TheSnapChick]

@cookiepwnsU It's a very capable camera body. You will want a lens that matches what you plan on doing - in other words, if you plan to photography nature/wildlife from a distance, you'll need a strong telephoto lens.

[pixuma]

@cookiepwnsU

uhh... d3000 is a Nikon... 550D (T2i in north america) is a Canon

Both are awesome

[Xyb3rTeCh]

@pixuma no, nikon sucks!

[Xyb3rTeCh]

@cookiepwnsU go get the canon 550D or the T2i. its the best and most popular camera in the market!

[speed0383]

The only problem is this won't carry a laptop?

Off topic: You are so darn attractive, I couldn't focus (pun intended) !!

[TheSnapChick]

@speed0383 Correct. This particular bag does not have a sleeve area for a laptop. There are definitely other bags on the market that do. I do typically travel with a laptop, but don't usually lug it around on location with my camera gear, so, for me, this bag works well. Thanks! :)

[cgouais]

@speed0383 the slingshot 350aw can carry a laptop at the back!!!

[NikonTom28]

I found the comments made by rockabilly stupid. but other users that says that he is homosexual for just stating this stupid things in snapchick videos, are you any better?

Sexual orientation has nothing to do with stupidity. so.. stick with snap chick vids they are awesome, help photo enthusiast just like myself. So.. What more can you get if you get a very lovely lady explaining photo stuff ;) cheers!

[Recon9143]

Well boys.. I found my next subscription

[TheSnapChick]

@Recon9143 LOL ;)

[siliconsurf]

@Recon9143 you just want to shag her, you horndog

[Laurencia7]

we have the same name! 

[pressgreen]

wow like whats in your bag you pull out a lens and call it a lens lol. what kind of lens perhaps? have you not seen how this is done?

[TheSnapChick]

@pressgreen No problem. It's a big lens ;)

[rockabilly407]

@STLHRC first off it's not goo, it's grease. Think 1950's. Second, the problem I have is her calling herself a professional. What makes her a pro, the D2x? I like Ken Rockwell's definition of what separates pros from amateurs. While I generally don't agree with Ken, this I find as a good guide as to who is really a pro.

Enough name calling! What are you, 6? Being a tough guy over the internet proves nothing. Calling me a homo is fine, I'm man enough to take that.

[STLHRC]

I like that 300. I have the 202AW. It's BARELY big enough for what I have now but I like that it's smaller and easy to take everywhere. As soon as I buy more accessories/lenses.... I will probably get that 300. Maybe you will sell me yours! hahaha I really like the Lowepro Slingshots.

[TheSnapChick]

@STLHRC They're really nice! I probably would have gotten the AW if I had done a little more research when I bought mine. On the other hand, there's never much rain here in the desert.

[STLHRC]

Hey, Snapchick, I can't help but laugh at the guy that is stalking your page for awhile now. What a weirdo!! A funny looking weirdo too! In your next video, can you make one about hair products for homosexuals? LOL!!!! I am cracking up over here and the idiots on here never cease to amaze me and what they will do!! He needs to go stare at more men and rub goo all over himself like usual. Don't mind him... he is just a fairy troll with super low self esteem.

[hsoloman]

I love those half naked pictures of you. Ignore rockabilly407.

[rockabilly407]

I saw your blog...are you serious?!?! I don't mean to be rude but are you actually trying to get viewers by posing half naked? Have some respect for the art of photography and stop calling yourself a photographer!!!

[STLHRC]

@rockabilly407

Holy crap you are one dumb hillbilly!!! Try learning a thing or two about marketing, dipshit! She gets 100 times more viewers than you ever will.

[rockabilly407]

@STLHRC call me what you want. Point is that if she was truly a marketing genius, then she would be marketing to clients such as brides, not newb photographers who come here to stroke her ego! Just like @hsolomon said, he loves the half naked pictures. Point made.

[STLHRC]

@rockabilly407 You are an idiot!!!!!!!! She is marketing to get fans.......PERIOD. What are ya? Stupid? A little slow? Too much goo in and around your head? Seriously, you are a D BAG troll! She is 10 times the person you are. Thanks for coming by letting all her fans know that she is dishonoring photography. LMAO!!!! Who are you to say ANYTHING AT ALL? She is teaching people valuable things. What are you doing? Oh yeah. trolling and making completely homosexual videos about goo. Get lost!!

[mipmipmipmipmip]

@rockabilly407 You're right, real photographers are fat and ugly and always wear lots of smelly sweaty clothes.

Seriously, if you could proove that the thing she says are bullshit for the 'art of photography', you would have a reason to argument. But what does Leigh's appearance have to do with her respect of the art of photography!

Where I work they often ask the same freelance photographer for PR work, and apart from the fact that she does a decent job, she's also stunningly hot. So there!

[rookierok]

@TheSnapChick : The whole bag seems to high so you can't really use all the space since the longest lens is mounted on the camera. And the side pocket is almost empty. The whole bag is to big to carry around all the time for my opinion.

[TheSnapChick]

@rookierok The entire inside of the bag can be reconfigured, if needed. That being said, I do not carry the bag around - I use it to carry my gear from one location to another. If I'm "out in the wild," I'm just carrying one or two cameras with or without a holster bag. Leigh

[rookierok]

@TheSnapChick :I'm sorry, I didn't notice until now this is a backpack, that makes much more sense :D And i like it better fully loaded like in video ;) Nice work btw!

[rookierok]

@TheSnapChick : I'm sorry I didn't notice it's a backpack until now, that makes much more sense :D And I like it better fully loaded like in your "What's in my wedding photo bag??" Nice work btw ;)

[rookierok]

I don't think that's very effectively used space of such a large bag.

[TheSnapChick]

@rookierok What do you recommend? :)

[007Hunkguy]

I canx my opt with Best Buy, per gentelmen was not inclined with the D300s. Im learning more from a book at barns and nolbes :) I took the day of with pay, and will enjoy taking pic at the PHX Zoo.

[007Hunkguy]

I'm going to my first class at bestbuy Monday. I mean no disrespect, I think u are a nice person. Good night :)

[TheSnapChick]

@007Hunkguy OK, since you're going to a class at Best Buy, you've got to let us all know how it goes. Thanks! Leigh

[007Hunkguy]

Thank you so much for awalys responding back so quickly. It seems Youre a wonderful person. Thanks Jesse

[TheSnapChick]

@007Hunkguy I've been called worse! Thanks! Leigh

[007Hunkguy]

It's a beautiful day in tempe AZ :) would u know of any school that offer photography classes?

[TheSnapChick]

@007Hunkguy I don't know of any, but there must be some around, especially in the Tempe area! Leigh

[rockabilly407]

Hey, the D2X is NOT a full frame camera!

Just so you know! Ha ha!

[TheSnapChick]

@rockabilly407 I used a d70 with grip in the video to illustrate that a large, full frame camera like a D3 or D700 with grip will fit in the bag. Sorry for the confusion.

[robib2]

I drive myself crazy carrying my huge camera bag, but I know it's all well worth it.

[TheSnapChick]

@robib2 Yeah, I fought the idea of a large bag for a long time.

[skibenz]

She has camera, lens, lens, flash, flash ... wow! some RANDOM stuff.

[nickyisanicky]

What speedlight is that?

[TheSnapChick]

@nickyisanicky SB-800

[nickyisanicky]

@TheSnapChick thanks

[koren2010]

thanks, it was really nice watching it. :)

[arealfreak]

you've got some great video's. thanks for sharing what you have inside you'r bag.

[iChristian91206]

Damn Leigh you are pretty hot :)

[stavrophotography]

I have two kit lenses that came with the d50 package. The d50 came with an Nikon 55-200MM F/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX ZOOM-NIKKOR and an 18-55mm lens. I was given a Tameron AF 70-300MM F/4-5.6 LD Macro lens.

Will the tameron lens work with the d300s?

[TheSnapChick]

@stavrophotography If it works with the D50, it -should- work with the D300s

[TheSnapChick]

Thanks BecksTech101!!!

[BecksTech101]

Your videos are great keep it up

[TheSnapChick]

Yes. It is a D70 with a grip. You have a sharp eye for cameras! The bag fits a full frame camera from D700 with grip through the D3 series. Not having either available for the video, I wanted to assure owners of full-frame cameras with a larger prism (and integrated grip on D3 series) that their cameras will fit in this bag.

[Ziggys91]

that wasnt a full frame camera, it looks more like a d70 if you look at the LCD screen..
