Think Tank's professional range has two new specialist camera bags: the Think Tank Walker Pro Rolling Backpack and the BackLight Long Lens Backpack.
These two new Think Tank backpacks are designed for completely different applications: the Walker Pro Rolling Backpack is ideal for the active urban professional, while the BackLight Long Lens Backpack has been specifically developed for nature photographers, sports photographers and birdwatchers who work with large telephoto lenses in remote areas.
Walker Pro Rolling Backpack
The new Think Tank Walker Pro Rolling Backpack is a further development of the popular one Street Walker series, with more space, stronger materials and a sleek, urban-technological design. This hybrid bag combines the convenience of a trolley with the comfort of a backpack, perfect for professionals moving between airports, alleys, cobblestones and conference halls.
The backpack is optimized for mobility: the slim, upright profile rolls smoothly through tight passages, while the extendable shoulder straps and breathable mesh back panel ensure carrying comfort when wheels are not an option.
Inside, a padded compartment holds a 16-inch MacBook Pro or tablet. Additional pockets provide quick access to smartphone, tripod, cables and drinking bottle.
The durable YKK RC Fuse zippers and reinforced telescopic pull rod guarantee a long service life. The bag also complies with most international hand luggage regulations, although it is advisable to check this per airline.
What fits in the Walker Pro Rolling Backpack?
The Think Tank Walker Pro Rolling Backpack can accommodate a camera body with battery grip and a second standard body, along with 4 to 6 lenses or accessories. Even a 400mm f/2.8 fits on a standard body, with room for 2 or 3 additional lenses.
This backpack/roller is intended for photographers who want to offer maximum protection to their equipment, without compromising on wearing comfort or mobility.
Think Tank BackLight Long Lens Backpack
The Think Tank BackLight Long Lens Backpack is made for a completely different application. This backpack is specially designed for photographers who work in the field super telephoto lenses. It provides solid support for large lenses such as a 600mm f/4 or even an 800mm f/5.6, mounted on a grip camera body – with or without a teleconverter. The interior height of 57 centimeters is sufficient to transport professional equipment in one setup.
Thanks to the opening at the back, the carrying system remains clean when used in mud, snow or sand. The bag is made of robust 420D Dynatec nylon, equipped with lockable YKK zippers and sturdy foam structure.
The nine-point harness system, breathable back panel and 7-liter day compartment (for jacket, food or extra layers) make long tours more manageable.
Tripod mounting is possible at the front or side. A padded compartment holds a 13-inch tablet. The bag comes complete with dividers, protective pads and a rain cover in Realtree Camo.
This is not a commuter bag. This is the ideal partner for photographers who follow Sea Eagles in the Oostvaardersplassen, op Cranes waiting in Norway or carrying their equipment through Patagonia. For those who work with long telephoto lenses and practice outdoor photography, this is the perfect companion.
