Tenba Bags

As a professional photographer, I recently embarked on an exciting international trip to St Martin, capturing stunning images for Hilton. Let me share my experience with two essential gear companions: the Tenba Roadie Hybrid Roller and the Tenba DNA 16 DSLR Backpack.

Gear Selection for International Travel: After wrapping up a late-night shoot, I had to swiftly prepare for my upcoming flight. Equipped with the reliable Tempo Roadie Internationals and the versatile Temba DNA Backpack, I felt confident about my gear choices.

Unveiling the Unique Pocket: The highlight of the Temba DNA Backpack was its exceptional pocket design. With a simple push, the pocket extended, revealing well-organized compartments. This feature proved invaluable during my sandy beach shoots.

Seamless Shooting Experience: The strategic design of the Temba DNA Backpack allowed me to keep it comfortably on my back while navigating the sandy terrain. I could effortlessly swing it around, retrieve the required lens, and quickly capture the perfect shot without worrying about placing my bag on the sand.

Functionality in Action: Although the Tempo Roadie Internationals served me well during my journey, the sandy environments demanded a more practical backpack. With no assistance available for the trip's duration, the Temba DNA Backpack became my reliable companion, enabling me to work independently and efficiently.

Conclusion: A Job Well Done! After three and a half intense shooting days and two travel days, I can confidently say that the Tenba Roadie Internationals and the Tenba DNA Backpack performed exceptionally well. These bags fulfilled their purpose, allowing me to focus on my craft while ensuring my gear's safety. As a suggestion for future improvements, I envision a version with four wheels, offering enhanced mobility. Regardless, I am delighted with my experience and eagerly look forward to using these bags again.

Stay tuned for more insights and exciting photography adventures!
