Think Tank Shape Shifter Camera Backpack: Recently, Think Tank Photo introduced one of the most innovative backpacks to the professional camera market. This backpack is designed to be able to carry both the camera gear and a laptop at the same time. What makes this unique is the ability to compress down to a thin, narrow size when you have your camera gear out of the backpack and actually in use. The interior of the backpack is designed to carry two camera bodies, three lens, and two strobes at the same time. You can see, for example, in this particular illustration of a typical interior configuration from Nikon or a typical interior configuration from Canon. The pack itself will expand out to a larger size to be able to accommodate all of that particular gear, so by unzipping the side pocket all the way around, the backpack expands out to a larger size to be able to load your camera gear inside the bag. By opening up the pocket, revealing the interior, we have your five neoprene pouches on the inside to carry your camera bodies and up to three lens. On the opposing pocket, on the inside flap are sleeves where you can slide in your strobes and a zipper pocket for carrying your accessories, memory cards, notebooks, etc. When the pack itself zips back in place, you have a nice amount of room to be able to carry and store your gear, and we maintain the outside of the backpack to still be your office on the go. Opening up the top pocket, we have a full compartment for carrying notepads, pens, pencils, your iPhones, etc. We also have, like typical of all of our bags, a rain cover included that you can slide over the backpack when the weather starts to get a little tough to handle. The outside of the backpack also features a lower pocket. This pocket is designed to be able to drop in your tripod. The tripod would slide in here. We have on the top two loops, including the hardware, that loops around and will hold the tripod in place onto the outside of the backpack. On the top of the backpack, we feature a compartment that opens up so you can also carry your laptop. Some people will elect not to carry their laptops with them; this works extremely well for notebooks and files as well. The pack itself is very comfortable with some ergonomically designed shoulder harnesses, D-rings for carrying and attaching your camera when you’re actually wearing the backpack, adjustable chest straps, and a lower waist belt for added security onto the pack. The Shape Shifter is a product that was introduced at the end of 2008, and it’s turning into being one of our most popular selling backpacks in the Think Tank lineup.
