I’m calling this “Part 1” because I’m sure I will revisit this with some more thoughts on it after extensive use. I was just so impressed by the interesting packaging of it that I thought I’d unbox (unwrap??) it on camera. This is a bag that raised just shy of 5 million dollars on Kickstarter so I’m very interested to see how it works in a variety of shooting and travel situations.
The original Glass Taxi was an innovative pack from Think Tank that designed for carrying 300mm and 400mm which most sports photographers use. Now Think Tank is updating the lineup with the new Glass Limo, a large pack capable of carrying a 500mm with pro body attached, or a 600mm lens on its own. It also adds rails on front and sides for attaching the huge range of modular components.

EDIT: Note that this bag is now available and I have done a HUGE in-depth review of it HERE on my new website Shutter Muse. Mindshift is an entirely new company formed from within the design studios of Think Tank Photo that will concentrate on the outdoor photography market. It will be run as a separate company but with all the same focus on design and high quality that we have come to expect from Think Tank. Products will be manufactured alongside the existing Think Tank ones and the design of the Rotation 180 Professional was done in house by …

This morning Think Tank have announced a new first of its kind camera bag. The 4-Sight features 4 wheels on the base similar to many current carry on luggage bags, designed to make it even easier to get your gear through the airport.

Last month I went to France to shoot the 24 Heures du Mans in Le Mans and before I left I grabbed a few extra items to make my assignment a little easier. First up was the Think Tank Hydrophobia 300-600 rain cover. The next think I wanted to do was take a look at the Think Tank Skin system to carry some additional items around with me while I was shooting. A lot of you know me for my winter sports photography and for that I use a variety of specialized bags from F-Stop but this time I needed …
Last week we took a look at the newly released Guru 28 liter backpack. This week I’m giving you guys a first in-depth look at the soon to be released F-Stop Satori EXP which is due to be on sale this coming July. This pack sits at the opposite end of the Mountain Series to the Guru, with a Capacity of 62 liters and as the EXP designation implies this one will hold everything you need on your next expedition. The pack might be larger than the F-Stop Tilopa backpack, but by forgoing the waterproof TPU base seen on the …
Think Tank have added to their highly popular Retrospective series today with the announcement of the Retrospective 5 shoulder bag available in either black or pinestone. I personally have the Retro 10 bag and it’s a fantastic bag for carry around town with a camera and couple of lenses. The material is super tough and wear resistant and there are plenty of pockets for all the bits and pieces you need. This new Retro 5 is designed for a small DSLR and a couple of lenses or a full Micro 4/3 kit or maybe a Leica M9 or some such …
