Think Tank Backstory 15 Top Access Backpack
Move fast and shoot faster with optimum security for all of your gear with the Think Tank Photo BackStory 15 Camera Backpack. Its backpack straps are fully adjustable to maximize comfort with a stabilizing sternum strap and removable waist belt.
A step up from the smaller BackStory 13, the BackStory 15 is designed to be your go-to bag no matter how much gear you need to bring. Its roomy main compartment is padded to protect your delicate gear and comes with a set of adjustable and removable dividers, so you can customize the layout to fit your gear, even if the gear you bring changes from one trip to another. You can easily carry multiple camera bodies with lenses attached, plus extra lenses, flashes, external drives, and other essentials—or bring along your favorite mini drone. Access to the compartment is from the back for maximum security, with a top access flap that allows you to grab your favorite camera and lens to capture that one-in-a-million shot when it presents itself unexpectedly. Three interior zippered mesh pockets provide organization for cables, cards, and batteries.
Its minimalist exterior hides more storage than you might think at first glance. A deep front pocket has organizers for smaller personal items with a slip pocket for a larger 16" laptop plus a 10" tablet. Deployable straps carry a tripod or monopod and you can stow them away when not needed to eliminate unsightly hanging or dangling straps. A small side pocket is perfect for a water bottle and another microfiber-lined pocket will hold a phone or sunglasses without scratching.
This bag is useful for professionals of all kinds including photographers and videographers, audio and sound engineers, and even drone pilots.
