Rebate secrets at Adorama’s Rebate Center.


Hello all…thinkTANK photo has done it again. They are always developing new products and updating current products to fit the needs of all types of photographers.

Well they’ve done it again with the revisions of two great products. The Digital Holster and the Urban Disguise. I have V1.0 of the urban disguise and it is a great bag to take around on location or on urban shoots.  The V2.0 versions arrived just in time for Photokina. So make sure you check them out and possibly pick one up yourself. You won’t be sorry.

I’ve detailed the press releases and images below.

Think Tank Photo Releases                                          Completely Redesigned Digital Holsters

“Expandable Holster Style Camera Bags for Quick Access”

SANTA ROSA, CALIF – Sometimes all photographers need in the field is one digital SLR body and one lens attached.  Other times, just additional lens or accessories need to be added to the kit.  To meet this need, Think Tank Photo has completely redesigned its line-up of Digital Holsters™.  Available in early October in five sizes, their expandable “Pop Down” section allows them to hold lenses of two different vertical heights with the hood in position or with it reversed.  A feature new to V2.0 is the built-in side attachment system compatible with most Modular, Skin, or Multimedia components.

The Digital Holsters also feature a side pocket for holding memory cards, a soft flap to cover the camera’s LCD, a shoulder strap, and an externally accessible seam-sealed rain cover in every model.  They fit most tripod plates while attached to the camera.

They come in five sizes:

  • Digital Holster 10 V2.0 – Form fitting to a small, regular size DSLR with a zoom lens attached.
  • Digital Holster 20 V2.0 - Form fitting to a regular size DSLR and a 24-70 f2.8 with lens hood in position or reversed.  When the “Pop Down” feature is extended it will also hold a 70-200 f2.8 with the hood reversed.
  • Digital Holster 30 V.20 –This is the only top loading bag for a DSLR that can hold a 70-200 2.8 with its lens hood attached, while connected to a regular DSLR.
  • Digital Holster 40 V2.0 – Designed for a pro size DSLR and a 24-70 f2.8 lens with hood in position or reversed.  When the “Pop Down” feature is extended it will also hold a 70-200 f2.8 with the lens hood reversed.
  • Digital Holster 50 V2.0 – Designed for a pro size DSLR and a 70-200 f2.8 with the lens hood reversed or in position, ready to shoot.

Think Tank Photo Releases the Redesigned            Urban Disguise® V2.0 Series Shoulder Bags


“Carry the Right Gear with Less Fear”

SANTA ROSA, CALIF – For photographers operating in urban or dangerous environments, carrying thousands of dollars worth of photo equipment can be an invitation to have their gear stolen.  Now, with Think Tank Photo’s completely upgraded and larger Urban Disguise® shoulder bags available in October, photographers can travel in style while still protecting their valuable equipment from prying eyes.

The Urban Disguise V2.0 Series is specifically designed for professional digital SLR equipment, with some models including special laptop compartments.  Each model features multiple pockets, YKK lockable zipper sliders, a comfortable, padded shoulder strap, and a seam-sealed rain cover.

Specifically:

  • Urban Disguise 35 V2.0 – Carries a 13.3” laptop with a regular size DSLR or a 10” netbook with a pro size DSLR.  Also carries a 70-200 f2.8 attached to a DSLR with two to three additional lenses.
  • Urban Disguise 40 V2.0 – Carries regular or pro size DSLR with a standard zoom lens attached and two to four additional lenses.
  • Urban Disguise 50 V2.0 – Carries up to a 15.4” laptop, a regular or pro size DSLR with a standard zoom attached, and two to four additional lenses.
  • Urban Disguise 60 V.20 – Carries up to a 17” laptop, a regular or pro size DSLR with a standard zoom attached, and three to five additional lenses.
  • Urban Disguise 70 V2.0 – Carries up to two pro size DSLRs with lenses attached in main compartment.  Can fit a 70-200 f2.8 attached to a pro size DSLR.

“This design concept is the culmination of years of observation of photojournalists and other photographers who have jury-rigged their bags to decrease their public exposure,” said Think Tank Photo founder and lead designer Doug Murdoch.  “Whether you are a professional who wishes to maintain a lower profile in dangerous situations or a serious amateur who wishes to lessen the risk of having your gear ripped off, the Urban Disguise’s low profile allows you to carry the right gear with less fear.”

About the Author

Lawrence
As a weekend photographer, I found myself with limited time and limited resources in terms of expanding my photographic ability due to my career. Like many weekend photography warriors, there are only 2 hours on the weekdays and maybe 8 hours or so total on the weekend to learn and grow. These time constraints is what motivated me into creating this online photography resource. I needed a photography hub where all the information I referred to is stored in one easy to navigate online location. I see this more of my online repository of photography information gathered through time. I am very proud of the success of my blog offering of "Photographer Interview Series". You will read in-depth interviews from the photography world's famous photographers. Names like David Tejada, Nick Onken, Michael Grecco and David Bean to name a few. The interview series has also expanded to include weekend photographers and now wedding photographers with the similar goal of learning from each other. My goal is to evolve this site to be the premier go to resource for photographer interviews and equipment reviews.
