Transcontinenta UK Ltd., Think Tank distributor for the UK and Ireland, announces the expansion of Think Tank's professional range with two dedicated camera bags: the Think Tank Walker Pro Rolling Backpack and the Think Tank BackLight Long Lens Backpack.
These two new purpose-built Think Tank backpacks address very different needs in the field: the Walker Pro Rolling Backpack for urban professionals on the move, and the BackLight Long Lens Backpack for wildlife, sports, and bird photographers carrying long lenses in remote areas.
The new Think Tank Walker Pro Rolling Backpack is an evolution of the popular Street Walker range, redesigned with more room, tougher materials and a sleek, urban tech look. It's a hybrid solution: part trolley, part backpack - built for professionals who move between airports and alleyways, cobblestones and conference halls.
This backpack is designed for mobility. The slim, upright profile rolls easily through tight spaces, while the deployable shoulder straps and breathable mesh back panel make it comfortable to carry when wheels aren't an option. A padded sleeve secures a 16-inch MacBook Pro or tablet. Quick access pockets hold your phone, tripod, cables and water bottle. Durable YKK RC Fuse zips and a reinforced telescopic handle add durability. And it meets most airline carry-on requirements. But always check with your airline.
The Think Tank Walker Pro Rolling Backpack fits one grip camera body plus a second standard body, plus 4-6 lenses or accessories. There is even enough room to mount a 400mm f/2.8 on a standard sized body and still have room for 2-3 extra lenses.
The Walker Pro is designed for the photographer who wants complete gear protection, travel-ready toughness and the ability to roll or carry without compromise.
Think Tank's BackLight Long Lens is for a different kind of mission. Designed for photographers using super-telephoto lenses in the field, this pack offers serious support for serious glass. It accommodates a 600mm f/4 or even a 800mm f/5.6 lens attached to a gripped body, with or without a teleconverter. The 57 centimetre internal height accommodates professional gear without disrupting your setup.
The rear opening allows you to access your gear while keeping the harness clean, critical in mud, snow, or sand. Constructed with rugged 420D Dynatec nylon, lockable YKK zips and high-density foam, it's ready for the back country. A nine-point harness system, breathable lumbar support and 7-litre day pack compartment (for jacket, food, or layers) make long days manageable. Tripods attach to the front or sides. The padded sleeve fits a 13" tablet. Includes dividers, pillows and a Realtree® Camo rain cover.
This isn't a bag for commuters. It's for photographers tracking wildlife in Namibia, waiting for eagles in Norway or hauling glass across Patagonia. If you carry long lenses and live outdoors, this is your tool.
The Think Tank Walker Pro Rolling Backpack and BackLight Long Lens Backpack will be available from the end of June from authorized Think Tank retailers in the UK and Ireland. Price and full specifications will be announced at that time.
