Think Tank Gear FirstLight 46L+ Backpack Camera Backpack in More Detail
Thoughtfully designed features
The exterior of the camera pack features a tripod mounting system, for attachment of a standard sized tripod on the back or sides. There are two large water bottle or accessory pockets on both sides, with drains and a cinch cord for security. The bottom panel of the bag also features ballistic nylon for extra durability on rough surfaces.
Think Tank includes grab handles on three sides, which make it easy to hoist into an overhead bin, car, or your car boot when in a hurry. What’s more, the backpack features side compression straps with locking SR buckles for additional lash points. This ensures you can cinch the bag tight in order for your camera equipment to be securely stowed and provides carry-on compliance with some airlines. (Always check with your carrier before travelling.)

Along with interior mesh pockets for storing filters, batteries, cables and other camera accessories, the Think Tank Gear FirstLight 46L+ Backpack Camera is compatible with Think Tank modular pouches and other filter cases. These include the recently launched Think Tank EDC Tech Pouch 5, EDC Tech Pouch 10 and EDC Tech Pouch 20 from sister company Think Tank, which provide organisation for all of your tech and trail accessories.
A whistle has been integrated into the sternum strap buckle for emergencies, while a large rain cover is included to protect small to medium sized tripods while they are secured to the pack.
