Booq Python Mirrorless keeps camera at-hand, with extra space for phone or tablet

By Chase Melvin April 8, 2014

For extremely active shooters looking for a bag that keeps their camera available at all times, while providing a high level of protection, the compact Python Mirrorless camera case is designed for them.

Made by Booq, the Python Mirrorless is a top-loading, shoulder-held camera case created specifically with the nomadic photographer in mind. Part of the Python collection, it’s a sibling to the Booq Python, which is a larger backpack hauling a ton of gear.

As the name implies, the case can hold a mirrorless camera, but it can also accommodate a compact DSLR camera plus some accompanying accessories. Everything is kept safe thanks to the durable, 1680 denier ballistic nylon that is both impact- and water-resistant. The bag’s interior is lined with thick padding and a removable padded divider to help organize and store the gear you need for your photo project; bring your charger, lenses, memory cards, and whatever will fit, without fear of damaging or leaving anything behind.

Zipper pockets on the top, front, and back sides of the bag allow for quick access to your smartphone, tablet, extra batteries, or any other precious items you need at your side.

A 50mm-wide seatbelt-nylon shoulder strap comes standard with the bag, so you’ll be able to support your gear properly without holding you up from taking that great shot whenever and wherever inspiration strikes you.

“A photographer’s main objective is to have the necessary gear to get the perfect shot without being weighed down,” says Booq Lead Designer S. Kema Subsomboon. “We designed the Python Mirrorless to be practical and compact, so that today’s digital-age photographer can have their camera, cell phone, form of tablet, and other necessities neatly tucked away and at a moment’s notice, making their job or hobby easier and more enjoyable.”

The Python Mirrorless, like other Booq products, is equipped with a Terraling serial number that can be used to locate your bag should you ever get separated from it.

You can purchase the Python Mirrorless for $80 from Booq.

Whether you're looking for the best digital cameras or the best travel cameras, there are a ton of options out there, sometimes too many options, especially for those who aren't familiar with the photography world. Luckily, we've done a lot of legwork for you and collected a range of great camera deals across the spectrum, so even if you want something more sports-oriented, like a GoPro, there are a couple of deals for those too. So, let's jump right into it.
Today's Best Camera Deals
One of our favorite deals is the Canon EOS Rebel T7 going for $400, as it's one of the better DSLR cameras on the market, and it has a reasonably budget-friendly price on it, making it a great starter camera. Of course, if you've been in the game for a while and are looking for a powerful upgrade, the Sony Alpha 7R IV is one of the best full-frame cameras on the market, and while it still costs a hefty $3,200, that's still $300 off the usual $3,500 price tag. That said, if you're looking for something more portable and action-oriented, you can't go wrong with the GoPro HERO11 Black Mini, although if you're a professional content creator, the GoPro HERO9 Black 5K is probably the one to go for instead.

Do I Need a DSLR or a Mirrorless Camera?
Like most things, this really depends on what you're trying to do. Mirrorless cameras have fewer internal moving parts, which generally means they can capture images quicker, so if you're taking pictures of action-packed stuff like sports or animals in the wilderness, a mirrorless camera is a great option. On the other hand, DSLR cameras are great for low-light conditions and are great for anything from portraits to landscapes. DSLRs are also cheaper and have much better battery life, as well as having a decade or two worth of lenses to choose from.
