New Think Tank backpacks and rollers for the photographer on the go

Transcontinenta, distributor for Think Tank in the UK and Ireland, is pleased to announce the launch of three innovative new products designed for photographers and video makers: the Think Tank DarkLight Backpack Series, Airport Roller Derby V2.0, and Airport Navigator V2.0. With unique features and exceptional build quality, these products meet the diverse needs of creative professionals.

Think Tank DarkLight Backpack Series

The Think Tank DarkLight Backpack Series redefines versatility and practicality for photographers balancing urban and outdoor adventure. This premium backpack combines tactical precision with user-friendly features, making it an essential companion for enthusiasts and advanced amateurs alike. Designed for flexibility and organization, the DarkLight ensures your gear is safe and accessible wherever your travels take you. Key to its adaptability is the laser-cut MOLLE panel and tactical webbing rails, which allow photographers to expand their carrying capacity by attaching Think Tank modular pouches or other accessories. Inspired by military designs, this system offers customization for any photographic mission. Rear access ensures that your gear is secure yet readily accessible, even in crowded places or harsh conditions.

Comfortable and flexible
Comfort is paramount with the plush Air-Mesh harness system and lumbar support ensuring an ergonomic fit for extended use. Adjustable interior dividers accommodate everything from telephoto lenses to smaller personal items, while external compression straps securely hold tripods or water bottles. An integrated rain cover provides protection from the elements, and environmentally conscious photographers will appreciate the PFC-free DWR finish, which offers water resistance with minimal environmental impact.

The Think Tank DarkLight Backpack Serie is available in two sizes, the 14L fits one camera body with lens attached and 1-3 additional lenses, while the 20L fits two camera bodies with lenses and additional equipment, including laptops up to 16". Both versions are available in Montane Green and Black, with removable waist straps and compatibility with international carry-on standards.

Think Tank Airport Navigator V2.0 & Airport Roller Derby V2.0

Think Tank continues its legacy of innovative rolling camera cases with the new Airport Navigator V2.0 and Airport Roller Derby V2.0, designed for photographers who demand durability, efficiency, and security. These updated models provide the ultimate solution for professionals who need reliable gear transportation and quick access to their gear when shooting or travelling.

Compact yet spacious, the Airport Navigator V2.0 is designed for event and wedding photographers who require quick and efficient access to their equipment. Dual top and front access points allow seamless retrieval of two camera bodies with lenses, including a 70-200mm f/2.8 attached. Elastic straps keep equipment secure during transport, and a rain cover provides protection in adverse weather conditions.

New features in the V2.0 edition include an 8-wheel system for superior 360° manoeuvrability, enhanced security with lockable zips and a Travel Sentry ID plate to assist in the recovery of lost bags. It also includes a horizontal tripod mount on the lid, padded laptop and tablet compartments for devices up to 16" and a telescopic handle with shoulder strap for versatile transport options.

For professionals carrying heavier loads, the Airport Roller Derby V2.0 offers exceptional balance and mobility. Its spacious interior accommodates two camera bodies with lenses up to 400mm f/2.8 (unattached), 6-7 lenses and other essential accessories.

Improvements to this new roller include a reinforced handle cut-out for added durability, a slight tilt for better balance and lockable zips for the laptop compartment. The roller's 8-wheel configuration ensures effortless movement in any direction, while large rear wheels provide stability on uneven surfaces.
