Think Tank Photo’s Innovative New Compact Urban Approach Mirrorless System Shoulder Bags Include Room for A Tablet

SANTA ROSA, CALIF. – In April, Think Tank Photo, the pioneer of low profile/high capacity shoulder bags for urban photographers, will expand this same design ethic to Mirrorless camera systems with the release of the Urban Approach shoulder bag series. Even with their compact Mirrorless system form factor these new shoulder bags still have room for a tablet.

The Urban Approach bags will be available in two models. The Urban Approach 5 holds one medium to large Mirrorless body with lens attached, one to three additional lenses, and an 8” tablet. The Urban Approach 10 holds one medium to large Mirrorless body or compact DSLR with lens attached, two to four additional lenses, and up to a 10” tablet.

“Made with the same timeless look and feel of our Urban Disguise Classic series, the Urban Approach bags’ space-saving bags blend into any environment with their low-contrast and matte black appearance,” said Think Tank’s president and lead designer Doug Murdoch. “Mirrorless system users can feel confident that their compact and small-scale camera needs are safe from prying eyes while still being at the ready.”
