Small Business Highlight: Wyoming Camera Outfitters

Wyoming Camera Outfitters opened shop nearly ten years ago as a storefront in downtown Casper. Not only do we get to enjoy this fantastic store here in our local town, Jackson, Wyoming, is also home to another storefront. Looking for camera and video gear online can sometimes be an overwhelming experience — filled with reviews, opinions, and an abundance of options. The employees and owner of Wyoming Camera Outfitters, with their native camera experience, can be the help and advice you are looking for. Whether you’re in the market for new equipment or just need some insights into a future endeavor or purchase, visiting this place should be at the top of your to-do list. After completing a quick interview with the owner and being regulars at the store, we are here to provide you with the in-depth knowledge you need to assure you will be their next visitor!

A Friendly Greeter

If you haven’t entered the store before, you will be in for quite a treat when you walk through that front door. Bridger, a smiley and loving furbaby, comes to work with the store owner, Chris, each and every day. It can also be noted that Bridger is quite possibly the best salesman that exists in the store (outside of the amazing people that will greet you.)

A Bit About Wyoming Camera Outfitters

Wyoming Camera Outfitters has demonstrated its presence as a local favorite for many years. However, not everyone may know that it was inspired to provide a unique, local experience for novice and advanced creators alike. Because of its longevity in the Casper area, this store has allowed for the opportunity to connect with a wide range of individuals. Chris noted that the most memorable part of having a storefront is not only assisting the shopping experience for many individuals but it also providing him and the employees with valuable relationships with other downtown shoppers and merchants. The store’s employees and owner admire the interpersonal bonds that have been created. It can be noted that the customer experience is at the top of their list! When a person, or people, walks through that front entryway, the employees recognize that every need may be different, and they know how to tailor that interaction to what best suits them. Visitors may range from out-of-towners passing through Wyoming to visit Devils Tower, Hells Half Acre, or another breathtaking landmark. These visitors may also be Casper locals just returning to their favorite place.

What Will You Find in the Store?

There are limitless camera and video-related products in the store. To name a few, you can find brands such as Canon, Sony, Tamron, and GoPro. The shop also has accessories you may need for filming and photography such as tripods, drones, and car mounts, and for us iPhone content creators out there, you will find accessories like high-quality microphone setups and iPhone-compatible tripods as well.

The owner also let us in on a little secret. His personal favorite, and top-selling product, is the Canon mirrorless camera. These cameras are great for all different kinds of subjects and environments. They’re extremely versatile and each and every customer that has been recommended this awesome piece of technology has not been disappointed. In fact, they have enjoyed every bit of time spent using the item.

What Our Friends Are Saying About This Shop

Local photographer, videographer, content creator, and storyteller, Adam Amick, has not only been a recurring and loyal customer at Wyoming Camera Outfitters, he has even partnered with them on a variety of website videos. Adam shared with us a bit more about his experiences with the store:

Wyoming Camera Outfitters is one of the best businesses in Wyoming. They always support my small business by always having what I need and being able to get it for me right away. I run a video production company that requires high-end needs, with demanding turnaround time, and Wyoming Camera Outfitters always delivers. I would not be in business if it weren’t for them as they’ve gone above and beyond their duties as a camera shop. I was loaned my first full-frame camera (5DMark3) when my APC crop sensor camera body was stolen from my car. Wyoming Camera Outfitters wouldn’t have it and made sure I was still able to operate by loaning me a camera. I consider them family and I am genuinely thankful to have them right here in Casper and Jackson, Wyoming! Be sure to support this local business as they will always price match any major dealer. I 10/10 recommend.

We here at Downtown Development Authority of Casper have also used Wyoming Camera Outfitters for some guidance and products as well. Brooke Montgomery, a Social Media Manager, Designer, and Coordinator at David Street Station, had some insights on this local business to share for the blog!

Wyoming Camera Outfitters has been a beneficial resource for our team at David Street Station! Between helping us purchase the most ideal camera and video equipment for our specific needs, to providing us with photography lessons, they have helped our organization enhance our content and marketing efforts. We greatly appreciate this local business, and hope others will support them too!
