Think Tank MindShift BackLight 26L Photo Daypack

Think Tank MindShift BackLight 26L Photo Daypack

A 26 L backpack from the BackLight series that holds two standard-sized camera bodies, four to six standard zoom lenses, and a flash. A dedicated padded compartment fits a laptop up to 16″ and a full-size tablet. The largest lens it can accommodate is a 200-400 f/4 when detached from the camera body.

Access and storage

The main compartment for photo gear is located on the back panel. This allows you to access your equipment without removing the backpack by spinning the bag to the front while the waist belt remains secured. The front pockets provide a total volume of 9 L for personal items such as extra clothing, food, and a light jacket. Smaller items can be stored in a zippered top pocket, internal mesh pockets for batteries and cables, and pockets for a headlamp and charger.

Carrying system and attachments

The padded waist belt features a rail for modular accessories or pockets. The back panel is equipped with lumbar support and an air channel. To extend carrying capacity, the bag includes ice axe loops, attachment points, and a daisy chain. A mounting system for a tripod or monopod is located on the front or side. Two drawstring water bottle pockets fit a 907 g Nalgene, and the side compression straps feature lockable SR buckles.

Materials and dimensions

The outer fabric consists of 420D high-density nylon and 420D Velocity nylon with a water-repellent coating and polyurethane on the underside. The YKK zippers are ergonomic and easy to grip with gloves or frozen fingers. The bag is approved as carry-on luggage, though you should check current regulations with your airline. A seam-sealed rain cover is included.

• Internal dimensions: 220 x 260 x 150 mm (W x H x D)
