THINK TANK PHOTO RELEASES
STREETWALKER BACKPACKS FOR PHOTOGRAPHY IN CROWDED URBAN SPACES
SANTA ROSA, CALIF – Think Tank
Photo has launched a new design in photo backpacks, the StreetWalker™
series. With the three new backpacks’ slim vertical profile,
photographers can navigate crowded places and public transportation while still
being able to access professional photographic equipment. This solves a significant
problem experienced by photographers shooting in urban and other crowded
environments: getting the shot in spaces that allow little room for
navigating. Their unique unisex design makes them useful for both men and
women photographers.
A common complaint of female
photographers is that photo backpack shoulder harnesses are designed for
average-sized men. The shoulder straps on the StreetWalker have been
specifically engineered to fit a wider range of sizes for both genders.
Women in particular will appreciate the StreetWalker’s very narrow and vertical
profile, especially when combined with the shoulder harness design.
The three new StreetWalker
backpacks are:
- StreetWalker—This
slim, lightweight backpack will hold a Pro Size DSLR with 70-200 2.8 attached
and hood in position. It includes a monopod/tripod mounting system, a
contoured harness and air channel for increased comfort, and lots of pockets
and organizers for customization.
- StreetWalker
Pro—This backpack is designed for a Pro Size DSLR with up to a 400 2.8
attached, or a 70-200 2.8 attached and hood in position. It also includes
the monopod/tripod mounting system, the contoured harness and air channel, and
lots of pockets and organizers.
- StreetWalker HardDrive—This backpack will hold most 15” laptops and a Pro Size DSLR with
70-200 2.8 attached and hood in position. It also includes the
monopod/tripod mounting system, the contoured harness and air channel, and lots
of pockets and organizers.
The StreetWalker backpacks were designed by veteran camera bag designer Lily
Fisher. “First and foremost these lightweight backpacks give
photographers quick access to their gear while allowing them to maneuver easily
through crowds,” said Fisher. “Additional benefits are the slim profile
and adjustable sternum straps. These backpacks also offer a unique
benefit to women photographers, which is that the shoulder harness has been
designed to fit our unique body types.”
