Me and my thinkTANK

IMG_3936

I have decided that my Lowepro CompuTrekker Plus AW is just too bulky to carry around for day-to-day usage, plus I do not have that many lens left after the trade-in of my old camera.

I start searching for a new camera bag and my requirements for the new bag:

a. must able to fit in my Dell Vostro 13 (13” notebook but with a length of 14”)
b. able to accommodate my iPad and other accessories
c. future expansion such as able to add bottle/lens holder

So after searching thru various shops and online, I found thinkTank. I have to admit that the built quality of the bag is almost identical to Tumi or Victorinox, strong, rugged and can withstand my daily usage (abuse).

The model I bought was thinkTANK Urban Disguise 35 V2.0

The specification:

Weight (empty): 1400 grams
Dimension: 10” L x 13.25” H x 6” D

In short is heavier and smaller than my Targus (the backpack on the left). This bag is like Swiss army knife for bag, lots of compartments:

a. The back/notebook compartment can fit my notebook and ipadIMG_3938

b. Camera compartment can fit my Canon 60D with Tamron 18-270mm lens, plus both side that can fit my Joby SLR and Canon EF-S 10-22mm USM.

Plus comes with raincoat for the bag Open-mouthed smileIMG_3944

And overall is a good bag.
