Think Tank Photo to Release FPV Session Backpack for Drone Racers
SANTA ROSA, CALIF. (PRWEB) July 20, 2016 -- There is one rule by which FPV drone racers live: get airborne quickly. With the August release of Think Tank’s FPV Session Backpack racers will enjoy quicker access to their essential gear for faster liftoffs. FPV racers can keep their gear well organized and easily accessible using the backpack’s unique shelf-like design. They will no longer be frustrated when their gear gets scattered or leave a race without it all.
Two to three drones can be strapped to the front of the FPV Session Backpack for quick access or neatly stored inside for safe travel. The backpack’s interior also fits a radio transmitter, FPV goggles, up to 15 batteries, antenna, props, spare parts, a small to medium tripod and a water bottle. Drone pilots can attach their chairs to the outside of the pack.
Think Tank will also release in August three essential FPV accessories: the FPV Action Cam Pouch; the FPV Radio Transmitter Cover; and the FPV 4 Battery Holder.
“This new backpack, a first for First Person View — or FPV — racing drones, is further proof of Think Tank’s commitment to serving the needs of drone racing enthusiasts who come alive at full throttle,” said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank Photo’s CEO and lead designer. “For all racers, having quick access to their gear is essential.”
