PHOTOJOURNALISM
As a photojournalist, telling the story is more important than your gear. In fact, you are notoriously hard on your gear because you use it every day — traveling around the world under difficult and even dangerous conditions. You need to be discreet so you can get the shot, all while protecting your gear from the rigors of travel. Think Tank began by addressing the needs of photojournalists and leads the industry in innovative carrying solutions.
Photojournalism - Activity
Shape Shifter® 15 V2.0
We designed the Shape Shifter backpack to transform easily from transportation mode to shooting mode. The backpack can hold two gripped bodies, three lenses including the 70-200mm f/2.8 and a number of accessories. Once you’re on location, you can take out the cameras and lenses and put both on your shoulders. Then, compress the backpack so it’s smaller and slimmer, making it easier to navigate through crowds and tight situations. Lightly padded to minimize bulk, the Shape Shifter is great for traveling on planes, buses and other forms of transportation. And because its not padded, it doesn’t appear to be a traditional foam-padded camera backpack.

Airport Commuter™
Photojournalists constantly travel on planes to get to their assignments. The Airport Commuter can hold a photojournalist’s essential gear and still fit into the overhead on even the smallest planes, such as a CRJ. A typical photojournalist setup is two camera bodies and the trifecta of lenses: 16-35mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8, a strobe and other accessories. The Airport Commuter is rectangular shaped and very compact, making it ideal for airline travel.

Airport TakeOff™
Similar in size to our Airport International roller, the Airport TakeOff is a little smaller but features backpack straps. When you’re shooting an event where there’s grass, gravel, rain, stairs or other rough terrain, simply put the TakeOff on your back and quickly put it down again when you reach smooth terrain. Backpacks are more mobile and faster than rollers — especially in crowded situations.

Change Up™ V2.0
The Change Up is designed to be worn on the front of the body and used as a lens changer for active shooting. The bag comes with a harness system that allows you to adjust the height of the bag vertically so you can keep wearing the bag in many different situations. It’s also ideal for extremely tight situations, like press conferences, where there’s no room for a camera bag on the side of your body — only the front. The Change Up is ideal for photojournalism as well as sports photography.

Modular Skin™ Set V2.0
Because the skin pouches lay flat against your body when the lens is removed, many photojournalists prefer the Skin Set because they are less obtrusive. When wearing this belt system at sports events, you can shoot and change lens in tight crowds without the annoyance of bumping into other photographers.

The My 2nd Brain 15 is very compact, lightweight and designed specifically for 15” Apple laptops.
