MindShift Gear BackLight 26L Backpack (Charcoal)

Introduction

Backpacks are superior for carrying heavy gear for long distances, but access has always been a problem. Also, traditional front-loading backpacks get wet and dirty when placed on the ground. The MindShift Gear BackLight 26L Backpack (Charcoal), with a rear-panel compartment for photo gear, allows you to access your gear without taking off the backpack. You can change lenses or just snap a quick photo by simply by spinning the bag to the front of your body while the waist belt is still secured. Rear-panel access also adds security when traveling since your camera gear is protected behind your back. This compartment is accessed by unzipping the back panel. By sliding the shoulder straps off and using the waist belt to rotate the pack in front of you, the pack will rest in a horizontal, tabletop-like position. The pack has a padded, rear compartment with touch-fastening dividers for storing and organizing a standard-size DSLR, 4-6 lenses, flash, and an assortment of accessories.
