Lookin for a bag i can wear while climbing to hold my camera. I am looking to merge two of my favorite hobbies and would like a low profile bag (backpack, shoulder bag, cross body, etc) i can wear while i climb and whip out while at the anchors and ideally holds 1-2 lens. Wondering if i should take a more DIY approach to tackle this or if there are any tried and trusted products on the market. Thanks in advance!
Hello! I want to start bringing my camera up the wall when top roping outdoors. I was wondering what’s the safest (for my camera and myself)and most convenient (quick access to camera) way to do so?
I’ve seen people using a carabiner and a sling. Am just not sure how they attach their camera to their harness.
Such a phenomenal route to climb and photograph.

Hey everyone! I'm new to climbing photography and live in the flat landscape of Florida so on most occasions I can only shoot indoors. My main question is since I can't rap up a neighboring rope in a gym would I really need a belayer to sit there and hold me if I want to photograph on the wall? If you have any other advice about shooting indoor climbing I would really appreciate it!
Anyone wanna be a moderator for me,?
Would anyone here know the best way of finding a climbing photography mentor? I have for some time wanted to take my adventure photography to the next level. I have tried to read and watch as much material as possible on the subject but finding a mentor I feel could be very beneficial in my growth as a photographer. If anyone on here could point me in the right direction of someone or someplace where I could connect with a mentor I would really appreciate it. If it helps, I am located in the USA, near Leavenworth WA.

Thanks!
I’m upgrading from my canon 80d to the Fujifilm x-h2. Just curious about any lens recommendations (other then the 10-24mm I just purchased)
In the photo we see a blurred climber in blue in the forefront, who has reached the summit and pauses for a selfie. Below we see the expert alpine guide in orange. Can we determine from this photo if there is a third climber? I see two lenghts of green rope (one color). The one on the left appears to lead from the blue climber to the guide. But the one on the right. It also appears to lead to the blue climber, but on the end that goes over the edge...it has 3 possibilities: 1.) It also is connected to the guide, or 2.) it leads to another climber, or 3.) it dangles freely.What is likely? Which of those can be ruled out assuming the guide is following safety procedures? Would they ever disconnect ropes during the climb, while resting for example?

Looking for a way to carry my cellphone (which is currently my camera) and not risk dropping it down the route. Any thoughts on good case Lanyards or straps that would keep it secure. I'm using an otter box on an android phone and the case seems great. But I don't trust it on the climb. It effects the mental game of the climb if your thinking about your camara. What are your solutions for those who use cellphones as cameras for climbing photography.
As the title says, where would you guys buy climbing photography. Wanted some big images to have on the wall in my room and can't really find anything online that suites my taste. What sites would you recommend?
Hey, I’m sure this question has been asked before but I’m curious. I’ve been climbing for about 6 years now. I’m confident and comfortable on trad and sport and rigging and now want to shoot more photos and videos but find it hard to know where to start and what camera to get and what basic supplies I need. What did most of you guys start shooting on and what would you suggest as a good beginning setup?
