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.  The bag will begin shipping in May for a cost of $299 and readers of my site can as always receive a free gift when shopping through my links to Think Tank products.  The 4-Sight appears to be somewhat similar in size to the Airport Airstream which is my current roller bag of choice and will hold …

Think Tank Announces New Versions Of Their Modular Components

by

Today Think Tank Photo has revealed a completely new re-design of their extremely popular, dare I say industry standard, Modular lineup.  I have previously reviewed the Modular Skin Set and found it to be fantastic for sports and event work so I’m excited to see the improvements they have made.

Two Lineups Updated

With this update Think Tank are releasing the Modular Rotation System and Modular Rotation System Skin™ Components.  These are the same two systems that we had previously but with updated pouches across the board.  The Skin system as I mentioned lacks the padding of the regular Modular System which makes it great for indoor work such as weddings and also great for packing if you have to fly with your gear.  It all packs down very flat and doesn’t weigh much at all.  If you need a little more protection then the Modular system is going to be best for you.

As always you guys can take advantage of reading my site when you spend more than $50 on the Think Tank store by clicking through any one of the links below you will be given a chance to choose a free bag/gift at the checkout !  There’s some great freebies to be had.

SHIPPING NOW !!

Think Tanks have just informed me that these new products are shipping NOW!!

 

You will still be able to take advantage of the special FREE gift from Think Tank that you get when you spend more than $50 because you are readers of my website>

Lets take a look at the new versions and the new and noteworthy features that have been introduced ……..

Think Tank Modular and Skin SALE

by

I’m not sure I can ever remember Think Tank having a SALE before so this warranted a quick post.  Especially since I’ve just reviewed one of the things they have put on sale. Just last week I reviewed the Skin set from Think Tank and having used it on a couple of assignments now I can say that I’m totally sold on it.  I would recommend it over the regular modular set BUT both the Skin and the modular set are on sale for this limited time offer. 20% off AND receive a FREE gift when you check out.

Think Tank Skin Set Review

by

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

You guys know I’m a big fan of Think Tank’s photo accessories and I use several of their solutions on a regular basis for my photography business.  Last month I flew to France to cover the 24 Heures Du Mans, arguably the

Think Tank Announces Retrospective 5 Shoulder Bag

by

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

ThinkTank launches new long lens rain cover

by

NOTE: There is now a newly updated, improved and cheaper version of this rain cover. Details can be found here. Think Tank Photo have just launched a re-designed version of their Hydrophobia 300-600 rain cover.  The name is a little deceptive though as you can easily use this on a Canon 800mm f5.6 lens too using the included cover extender.  Think Tank make some great rain covers and you can check out my review of the small Hydrophobia 70-200 HERE. The great thing about the design of this is that it stays on the lens even when it’s not raining,

ThinkTank Hydrophobia 70-200 Flash rain cover review

by

NOTE: The reviewed version of the Hydrophobia 70-200 has now been replaced by an updated, improved version. Details of the new version can be found here. Many things have changed, and the prices have been reduced, so this review is no longer relevant. Torrential rain or prolonged periods of snow do not generally go hand in hand with photography and camera equipment. Sometimes it has to be avoided to prevent damage to equipment, but sometimes it cannot be avoided while on assignment to cover a particular event. If you find yourself in that situation you might want to think about
