Being a photographer in the digital age involves a lot of battery recharging. In addition to using up a lot of juice, the constant concern about power sources can be troublesome if in the mountains or the desert shooting away from civilization. This denier nylon solar camera bag from Eclipse solves the energy source problem in an eco-friendly way, with the solar panels on top powering up your camera (or other items) through a standard car charger outlet.
The interior of the bag has all the usual features, with padded lens sections and pockets for cords and memory cards. At 15” x 9” x 10” it holds most of the basic gear. While you are carrying things around or eating lunch, however, the bag is at work keeping your battery from running out. Panels this small only deliver a 1.5-watt “trickle charge” however, so expect a full charge to take five to seven hours.
