Think Tank Photo just released several new camera bags, including a Streetwalkder Roller bag and the Streetwalker Harddrive 2.0 bag line.

Over the past couple of weeks I have had the pleasure of putting the Think Tank Photo Streetwalker HardDrive camera backpack to use. It started with a few local outings and then I headed off to PMA 2009 in Las Vegas to give the Streetwalker HardDrive a run through a couple of security checkpoints, storage areas on a few jets and a bit of jostling about the streets of Las Vegas. Want to know how it held up? Read on to find out.
The Streetwalker HardDrive is what I would call a normal-sized backpack. It is about the size on the outside of the LL Bean backpacks that you see college students carrying around (or at least that’s what I saw them wearing 10 or 12 years ago). It’s probably a little bigger than that, but it doesn’t appear to be when you are looking at it on someone’s back. I think that’s a good I thing.
I really dislike carrying camera bags around in crowded public areas that look like camera bags. Call me paranoid, but I would rather not advertise the fact that I’m carrying around expensive camera equipment. The Streetwalker HardDrive is very unassuming as a camera bag. It really just looks like another backpack – again, a good thing. [Read more…]
