Think Tank just recently launched a new line of bags called the Sub Urban Disguise which is designed to be a very small option for carrying either mirrorless / compact systems or a regular sized DSLR with 1-2 lenses. I’ve had the bag for a few weeks now, and I feel that I understand it well enough to share my thoughts. Head on past the break for my review of the Think Tank Sub Urban Disguise 10.

Instead of lugging around your entire camera collection, the Vojo 25 from Vanguard restricts you to a single DLSR body and just a couple of lenses. Personally, I prefer carrying light and being confined within one or two focal lengths my lenses provide me because it allows me to get creative with them and produce some interesting photos. The convenient top zipper gives quick and silent access to your gear instead of having to be that awkward guy constantly ripping Velcro in a quiet environment.
After over a week of real-world testing and putting the Vojo 25 through its paces, we’re ready to give you the full review after the cut.

Think Tank just recently launched a new line of bags called the Sub Urban Disguise which is designed to be a very small option for carrying either mirrorless / compact systems or a regular sized DSLR with 1-2 lenses. I’ve had the bag in hand for a couple of days now with the intent to use it for carrying an extra lens or two when I want to go out shooting with the lightest possible kit. I will be going over the details of the bag in this impressions post as well as share some opinions, but the rest will come with the full review in the near future when I’ve had some more time to break the bag in. For now, let’s take a first look at the Think Tank Sub Urban Disguise 10.

Think Tank Photo’s latest line of shoulder bags is called the CityWalker, and it is designed with mobile photographer in mind (think: street photographers). The entire line is made of the same lightweight material with an internal iPad / Tablet sleeve, and a quickly removable internal camera storage bucket which converts the bag into a lightweight shoulder bag. I’ve had the opportunity to live with the CityWalker 20 every day over the last several weeks, and I’m here to talk about my experiences.

Think Tank Photo has developed quite the repertoire of versatile, durable and understated professional camera bags. They have no shortage of options when it comes to different types of bags, and their recently announced “CityWalker” line is designed to be fast and flexible on the street. I have the CityWalker 20 on hand presently and I’m looking forward to seeing how it holds up in comparison to Think Tank’s other bags.
