Bag and accessories manufacturer Think Tank Photo has updated two of its ranges, adding more internal space and a rolling option to the StreetWalker series and a new waist strap to the TurnStyle sling-type bags.
All three of the existing StreetWalker backpacks have been enlarged to create more depth in the interior compartments so they can carry more kit, and particularly large bodies with wide-ranging zoom lenses still attached. The series also now features a version with wheels and a retractable handle in the StreetWalker Rolling Backpack V2. 0, which can operate as a backpack or a rolling case.
The company has also revamped its Turnstyle series of sling bags, adding a new waist strap to hold the bag securely when the user is taking pictures. There are three sizes of bag, and each is now available in grey or blue.
The StreetWalker Rolling Backpack V2. 0 costs $299. 75 while the Turnstyle bags are priced $74. 75 , $84. 75 and $99. 75 for the 5, 10 and 20 versions. For more information see the Think Tank Photo website.
