The PhotoCross 13 Backpack Delivers Both Protection and Comfort in a New Compact Size

SANTA ROSE, Calif., August 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Adventure photographers need a camera bag that's as tough as they are. With its rugged materials and faceted design, the MindShift PhotoCross 13 backpack from Think Tank Photo will protect your gear from another punishing trip into the wild. The PhotoCross 13 is built to withstand the elements, yet comfortable enough to wear on long days in the field. The extra-large side access point gives you complete access to your gear when you're ready to take the shot.

Available in two colorways, Orange Ember and Carbon Grey, the PhotoCross 13 features waterproof zippers and is constructed from durable, abrasion-resistant materials, including a heavy-duty tarpaulin bottom panel. Wide, body-conforming shoulder straps give superior support for long days on the trail, and the wide, removable waist belt and breathable 320G air-mesh back panel will keep you comfortable and cool.

The extra-large side access point gives you complete access to your equipment, and the interior dividers are completely customizable to accommodate both photo and personal gear. Examples of gear loads include a Nikon D750 with 105mm f/2.8 attached, 70–200mm f/2.8, SB910 flash and a 35mm f/1.4, or a Canon 5D with 24–70mm f/2.8 attached, 70–200mm f/2.8, 16–35mm f/2.8, 85mm f/1.8. Other examples could include a Sony a7rIII with 24–70mm f/2.8 attached, 70–200mm f/2.8, 16–35mm f/2.8, 85mm f/1.8, or a Fuji X-T3 with 16–55mm f/2.8 attached, 50–140mm f/2.8, 8–16mm f/2.8, 56mm f/1.2, 90mm f/2. And each of those examples include the ability to carry a 13" laptop in a dedicated, padded compartment.

With internal zippered pockets for batteries, memory cards, and other accessories, and a front pocket perfectly suited for filters, snacks or a light layer; the PhotoCross 13 offers plenty of storage options. And of course there's the ability to carry a tripod or larger jacket with the included straps.

"The PhotoCross 13 backpack delivers uncompromising protection and comfort, while offering fast and intuitive gear access," said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank CEO and Lead Designer. "As with the larger PhotoCross 15 backpack and PhotoCross slings before it, the incorporation of a waterproof, tarpaulin base and weatherproof zippers and materials demonstrates how Think Tank continues to offer the protection, comfort, and innovation that our customers require."
