Think Tank Photo debuts BackStory camera backpack series
Think Tank Photo debuted the BackStory camera backpack series offering two, top and rear-opening packs, sized for either 13” or 15” laptops, that are perfect for everyday carry. The Essentials Convertible Rolling Backpack goes where other rollers can’t with deployable backpack straps and compact size.
“With both the BackStory and the Essentials Convertible Rolling Backpack, our design team has continued to do what they do best: to study how photographers work and develop carrying solutions that meet their needs,” said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank CEO and Lead Designer. “We’re excited to bring both of these new lines to market.”
The BackStory’s rear-panel opening offers complete access to gear while a top panel provides quick access to your camera and speeds your workflow. A deep front compartment with zippered mesh pockets has ample room for personal gear, including a 10” tablet and laptop (size-specific for either 13” or 15” laptops). And with its plush shoulder harness and removable waist belt, the BackStory is comfortable enough to wear all day.
