Think long term..Why not try this?
This will be an ongoing problem for you unless you try something like this. I would contact the major (or minor) manufacturers—just go to their sites and email. Tell them you are writing about camping on your site and would like to include pictures of their gear as examples of what people could use. Ask permission to copy pictures from their site to do so.
My guess is that they will be delighted to get the free advertising as they would view it. If you don't name specific products or at least offer only a suggested list like, "tents, backpacks, and so forth," you will have a permission that you can use for anything they have for the future as you need them.
