The most important bit of kit is really the bag, one that will hold everyhing safely and be easy to carry. This Think Tank looks like it fits the bill nicely!

With a name like Think Tank this must be solid built and great for travel. I’d love having a big pack that cna also flatten out when it’s not so full.

I need this backpack because my back doesn’t have pockets to store my camera gear. This would be useful for hiking trips and the ability to flatten the pack is a great idea. Think Tank products seem to be built very well but I’ve yet to try one.

That is great Think Tank is offering this to Canadian entries. Many times offers are not avaible to Canada. I use Think Tank belts, modular systems, and skin systems out for a shoot. Now I need a Backpack to store and to keep everything together.

I recently got a second nikon body for my professional shoots and would love a backpack that holds multiple camera bodies. I’ve had my eye on Think Tank for a while now, just haven’t pulled the trigger.

I would like to win because I wanted to try their speed demon and their products look pretty good and high quality.

Just to use and know if they are as good as they deserve to be, practical and useful, somehow investing in one seems to be a long range shoot vs a more sound investment within a reasonable way of thinking.

I have a ChangeUp bag from ThinkTank, which can be used as a shoulder bag, a belted waistbag, or with two straps to form a harness. It has been extremely versatile and useful – obviously designed by working photographers.

But, as my kit grows, I find that the ChangeUp is getting a bit small. I cannot carry my lenses AND my camera body to a location, all protected inside the ChangeUp.

IOne of the problems with a backpack is that, while great for carrying my stuff TO the photowalk location, it isn’t very useful DURING the shoot. I love to explore new places, and would find myself needing to stop, take off the pack, and find a spot to rest it to change lenses.

So, I find I really need two different carrying systems. The design concept of the ShapeShifter backpack would fill this need. Once I get to a location, and begin my photowalk, I can take the camera body and a lens or two out, while leaving those items I’m less likely to need right now in the backpack, like my 10.5 Nikkor fisheye, which I love but only use infrequently. And, with the ShapeShifter, I can now make the backpack “shrink” to a size, so that it isn’t sagging and misshapen under the weight of the remaining gear, but still protects my kit while staying small enough to avoid bumping into those I’m passing by.

I appreciate the design and function which ThinkTank has put into this product, and I would love to win this contest!

I would look nice with it on my back! No but i think it would be a great bag for my shoulders. I dislike my crumplerbag that only brings pain to my shoulders.

I think I should win this bag because I have never one anything despite the hard work I have shown throughout my life. I don’t come from much other then good family and the idea that if you work hard for what you want, you will reach your goal. I believe that. I am working to become a professional photographer and this would be a great tool to help me out in that conquest.

Please pick me! You won’t regret it!

because i know that living in the Philippines, a 3rd world country with lots of social, criminal and pedestrian hazards – i can give ThinkTank backpacks the abuse they need to constantly show that they are what they claim: tough, innovative products that protect our valuable gear and prepare us to be ready to shoot “Before the Moment.”

oh, previous experience with ThinkTanks: nil. which i hope to be rectified this time around.

I’d feel much safer with a backpack than placing my camera in my daily carry bag unprotected

I’ve been looking at ThinkTank bags forever, but they have always been too expensive for my budget. Unfortunately I’d rather save my ‘poor starving graduate student’ salary for new lenses. I’d love to have a new bag for my beloved camera gear!

A nice padded bag like this that’s safe to throw in the luggage? Great! I’ve heard of the quality of Think Tank but never used one. Last time my camera hood got banged up by the lack of padding in my backpack (not a camera backpack)
