Think Tank Photo Unveils Unique Story Teller Shoulder Bags
News
2018.04.04
Think Tank Photo recently launched a new series of shoulder bags for DSLR and Mirrorless digital cameras. The series comprised of three camera bags employ a unique flip-top flag that opens away from the photographer for quick access and ease of use. Like all Think Tank bags, these StoryTeller models are built using premium materials to offer gear protection at affordable prices.
The StoryTeller 10 can hold most DSLRs, either full-frame or APS-C, or Mirrorless cameras with two to four standard-to-telephoto lenses plus tablet up to 10" inside the main compartment. The StoryTeller 8 can also hold a DSLR or Mirrorless camera, only with up to 4 smaller lenses, plus an 8" tablet, although the tablet slot is partially open. The smallest StoryTeller 5 fits a DSLR or Mirrorless camera, two or three small zoom or prime lenses. Due to its smaller size, it lacks a dedicated tablet slot.
