Product: Think Tank StreetWalker HardDrive Camera Backpack
After having ordered and returned the Manfrotto Pro Backpacks 20 and 30 (both too small) I decided to try the Think Tank Streetwalker Hardrive and ordered it from an Clifton Cameras, as the price saving from the Amazon price was significant.
The case is brilliant, it holds all my gear and still has room to spare. It is well made from what appears quality materials (to be fair to Manfrotto their bags had thicker padding and also areas of rigid plastic). It offers some very versatile storage options and also has plenty of useful pockets for bits and pieces. The rain cover is provided folded in a small pouch and takes up little room. The extra strapping for attaching a tripod is well thought out and feels very secure.
In the case I have:
Nikon D300 body with 80-400mm lens attached, with the hood fitted to the front.
Nikkor 17-55mm lens.
Nikkor 55-200mm lens.
Nikkor 40mm lens.
Speedlight SB910 in its case.
Blower and cleaning cloths
Various filters.
Remote trigger devices.
Memory cards, spare batteries, etc...
Plus a Nikon P7000.
There is still plenty of room in the bag and I havent used any of the outside pockets.
The bag, once on the back, is very comfortable and seems well balanced. Of course there is no way I would carry all this when Im out walking (Im getting on in years); but this bag is ideal to holding all my gear at home and then is comfortable to use with selected items, when out for a day shooting. Even with the tripod attached it feels very well balanced and does not tend to drag back like some backpacks do.
This is an excellent photographic backpack; well made and thoughtfully designed. I highly recommend it.
