Think Tank Photo New Mirrorless Bags

2014.11.03

As mirrorless cameras penetrate the market and reach more and more common use by professionals, Think Tank Photo is continuing their support of this new form-factor. They unveiled an entire series of mirrorless backpacks and a new smaller holster for such smaller cameras.

The Digital Holster 5 is a single-camera bag which is worn over the shoulder or attached to a belt. It is the smallest holster and can accommodate a mirorless camera with a standard zoom lens attached. This allows quick access to gear while it remains visible to the wearer at all times. Like all holster-type bags, it provides top-access with a single zipper to open.

This new holster measures 6.3" x 6.3" x 4.5" externally with an interior size of 5.1" x 5.3" x 3.5" which fits something like an Olympus OM-D E-M5 with 12-50mm F/3.5-6.3 lens or a Fuji X-E2 with 18-55mm F/2.8-4. The Digital Holster 5 will be available shortly from the Think Tank website for around of $40.

Think Tank Perception bags are a new series of photo backpacks designed for use with mirrorless cameras. There are 3 different sizes, each available in 2 colors. These ultra-light day-packs offer multiple compartment to carry a mirrorless system, accessories, plus a tablet and even a laptop for the larger model.

The smallest, called Perception Tablet, fits a mirrorless camera with one or two lenses, plus a small 7" tablet. There is an intermediate size, the Perception 15, which allows for 2 somewhat larger lenses and a large 10" tablet instead. The Perception Pro is the flagship with, unusually, two computing compartments. One fits a 15" laptop, while the other fits a 10" tablet. It allows for up to four lenses, including one attached to the camera.

All the Perception series will be available shortly from Think Tank. They will be priced from $90 to $150, depending on the size.
