Expandable Think Tank Photo Shape Shifter built for the news shooter buaya Oct 2nd, 08, 12:04 PM #1 (permalink)
Quote:
Later this year, photo bag maker Think Tank Photo will release the Shape Shifter, a way-cool photo backpack that expands to carry both photo gear and a laptop to the assignment, then contracts to about half its maximum depth to hold just your computer and accessories while you shoot. If you're a newspaper or wire service photographer, or you simply need to carry a minimum of equipment on your back while you make pictures, the Shape Shifter may be for you.

The Shape Shifter's design is such that when expanded, it can be loaded with the following:

Two larger digital SLR cameras (Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III, Nikon D3 or similar)
One 70-200mm f/2.8 or similar size lens (with hood reversed)
One 24-70mm f/2.8 or similar size lens (the AF-S Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8G ED will fit with either its hood extended or reversed)
One smaller-diameter lens or portable flash (in the smallest neoprene pocket; at least two other Canon or Nikon flash units will fit in the outer zippered compartments as well)
One 17 inch laptop with sleeve (as long as the computer isn't too much larger than the 17 inch MacBook Pro; the new Lenovo ThinkPad W700, which is a 17 inch behemoth, will not fit)
Various accessories, including power adapters, card readers, cords and more
The mini-gallery below will give you an idea of what the Shape Shifter can hold, and how it does so.
