Features
With every good story, there’s often a better backstory. The same is true with the BackStory series of camera backpacks. Many hours were spent by Think Tank Photo's design team researching, discussing benefits, developing prototypes, reviewing, redoing… and then they do it again. The end result is a truly innovative and full-featured backpack that serves your needs as an expert photographer. The BackStory’s rear-panel opening offers complete access to your gear while a top panel provides quick access to your camera and speeds your workflow. A deep front compartment with zippered mesh pockets has ample room for personal gear, including a 10” tablet and laptop (sizespecific). And with its plush shoulder harness and removable waist belt, the BackStory is comfortable enough to wear all day.
