Having tested so many Lowepro backpacks and shoulder bags<\/a>, I think it is time to try out the Think Tank range. I got my hands on a Think Tank Street Walker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Think Tank Street Walker is the smallest of Think Tank\u2019s Street Walker series. If you want something bigger, check out the Think Tank Street Walker Pro<\/a><\/p>\n

First impression when I compare this to Lowepro backpacks is that Think Tank camera bags have a bit less padding and hence feel less bulky which is what I prefer. Think Tank build quality is great for all of their products. They are very confident with their products which is why they offer \u201cNo Rhetoric Warranty\u201d<\/strong> on all of their products.<\/div>\n

Comparing the size of Think Tank Street Walker (Left) and Lowepro Flipside 400 AW<\/a> (Right). The Flipside 400 is wider, thicker and bulkier which is more suitable for hiking purposes with the extra padding. Both have tripod mount on the front, rain cover and waist belt. The Flipside 400 AW features a much thicker waist belt which will give you a better support for those long hiking trips. <\/p>\n

If we compare the internal space  between  Lowepro Mini Trekker AW<\/a> (Left), Lowepro Flipside 400 AW<\/a> (Middle) and Think tank Street Walker (Right) . Notice the padding on Think Thak is thinner. All three bags are about the similar size, with plenty of partition supplied to customise your layout. The partition with the mini trekker and Flipside is much more fitted for small lenses. The Think Tank partition is much wider which is good if you plan to have the lens hood reversely attached.<\/p>\n

What can you fit in a Think Tank Street Walker ? Here is how I packed the Think Tank Street Walker. You will notice as mentioned above,  the partition is too wide for small lenses which means it doesn\u2019t give your small lenses a tight fit. Also the internal space is not fully utilised.<\/p>\n
