Think Tank Photo to Release Completely Updated Change-Up Multi-function Camera Bag

Shoulder bag, chest pack, or belt pack, it does all three successfully.

Santa Rosa, Calif. – In February, Think Tank Photo will release a completely updated version of its popular Change-Up multi-function camera bag.  The Change-Up V2.0 has updated sizing and new features.  This bag, a chameleon of sorts, can change from belt pack to shoulder bag to chest pack via the harness system.  In addition, many Think Tank Modular and Skin Components can attach to the waist belt straps.

The included compression straps provide for a custom fit.  The result of all this flexibility is a bag that can serve many uses: one day it serves as a lens changer, another day it’s a conventional shoulder camera bag, and another day it becomes a chest pack.  It is this flexibility that makes this bag special and explains why novices to pros love it.

With the ability to carry a standard-size DSLR and a 70-200 2.8, (detached), it has a significant amount of capacity in a lightweight, body conforming shape. Alternately, it holds a standard-size DSLR with 24-70 2.8 attached, plus one to three additional lenses.

“While many camera bags convert from one thing to another, they generally are not great at any one thing,” said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank’s lead designer and president.  “The Change-Up V2.0 camera bag is an exception to the rule; it converts from one great storage solution to another.”
