For the most part, I try to keep posts on our blog related to photo sessions, but since I would also like this to be a helpful website for professional photographers and enthusiasts, I will try to highlight a particular product or service that I feel is a worthwhile investment every now and then. There have been many occasions where I was on the fence about buying a product; however, that skeptical feeling was eventually eliminated after making an informed decision based on the reviews I came across over the internet. And I’m all for helping my fellow photographers out there, so hopefully this review and any subsequent ones will help you in deciding what product is right for you.
Ok now that the preface is out of the way, let’s talk about the {Kacey Location Bag}, shall we? If any of you know me personally or have seen any expensive items I own, you know that I try to keep those items in as close to immaculate condition as possible. There are a few reasons for this. Reason No. 1? – I like things to look nice. I feel like it’s a direct reflection of stewardship in the way that you take care of your gear. If another photographer asked me to lend him or her my equipment, I would be less inclined to do so if I knew that person didn’t take good care of their equipment. Reason No. 2? – Resale value. As someone who has done a fair share of buying and selling equipment in the past 3 years, I can tell you firsthand that you need to keep your gear in tip-top shape if you want to have an easy time reselling it.
About six months ago, I bought my first beauty dish for my B800. It’s a 22″ beauty dish from {Alien Bees}, and it’s literally one of the best purchases I’ve made as far as lighting modifiers go. The quality of light I get from using it is well worth the purchase. The only drawback is the fact that the beauty dish is rather large, cumbersome, and prone to denting, which makes it difficult to protect and transport. I’m mostly a location shooter, so I needed a bag that would be able to protect my beauty dish and also withstand the variety of outdoor conditions that I run into while shooting. So after searching and doing some research on a bag to fit my needs, I came across this wonderful bag. After reading a few reviews about it, I decided to give it a try since the gym bag I was currently keeping it in wasn’t doing the job. For $85, this bag is a steal! It is padded very nicely and also holds a separate compartment for grids, which is a nice asset. If you are looking for a nice travel bag for your beauty dish, this bag is the way to go!
