Think Tank - Shape Shifter!

[coolsigg]

there's nothing really great about the SW series compared to Airport series. it's which you think suits your needs better in fact i took some time at tk deciding between the SWHD and Antidote v2.0. see my post below for their similarities and differences.

you can't compare it with the UD series cos those are shoulder bags. shoulder bags and backpacks both have their uses. i have SWHD, UD60 and UD30. which i use depends on my the gear i'm carrying at that time.

yep, every individual has different needs and preferences, hence, it all depends on what works for that person. there is no one size fits all bag.

The closest is the Shapeshifter :bsmilie:

I think it depends on your system and how u want to store the cam. I need a backpack to put my cam+grip+lens mounted. It fits perfectly previously. But as I changed the cam, I need a thicker bag. However, if you were to put the cam body unmounted, glass taxi is fine.



It all depends on the size of the pro body. For example, D3 (a pro body) is shorter than D700 with grip. Hence, it doesn't mean that a pro body is necessarily the biggest cam body of the camera brand.

I'll probably follow that, so like your case, it's going to be a no-go.

And yes, the D300/D700+grip is taller than the D3. I believe it was the same with the D200 and the D2s.

Finally succumb to the BBB virus and bought a Shape Shifter.

Love it.

I was scouting around, for quite sometime, for a bag to hold 2 DSLR, 3 lens, 2 flash + spare batts, cards etc + 17" mbp + small tripod. At the same time for something that is not bulky when I uses the cameras w/ lens (on sling) while still can carry the notebook.

I had bought sold many lowepro backpack which I found not to my liking. As I do not like thickly padded backpack.

But the Shape Shifter fits perfectly. Costly though but worth every penny.

Must thank James and TK Photo for bringing in this wonderful product. :thumbsup:

Another victim of the TTP virus :bsmilie:

Now, how about some Skin pouches to go along with that Shape Shifter? ;p

....my main bag for outing and events.
Used it for 2 model shoot, 4 events (including 1 wedding).
:thumbsup:

 

[maswu]

it seems like i'm really gonna get hooked on TTP bags they have really thought about the details and stuff but perhaps i like to see nicer design on the bags...so that it will appear more like a mainstream bag

 

[daftone]

too bad not mainstream prices

 

[maswu]

just got it! very happy...this could be my perfect bag after all

To put it simply, it has been THE bag for me, though of course, with any other camera bag, packing it full kills me. Haha.

Glad that my review had helped (to poison) you. It is the compactness and versatility of Change Up that keeps me coming back to it regardless of how many times I sold it ;p

just exchanged my Change Up for a new piece. the stitching on one of the side stretch pockets had partially come undone, resulting in the neoprene coming apart from the elastic band.

seems that lightning does indeed strike twice - same thing happened to the side pocket on my UD50 some time ago, managed to get the bag replaced though (thanks to James).

The Streetwalker series is available at J316 at Funan. I bought my SW Pro there and saw the SW HD there as well.

Yes, it is possible to put a D90 attached with a 18-200mm VR into the shape shifter neoprene compartment.

hi guys, quick question regarding the shape-shifter:

are the neoprene pockets detachable? can we swap them around or take them out?

i'm hoping they are not fixed in those positions only..otherwise it's going to be tough to use the bag for other purposes.

also, anyone has an airport international roller bag they want to get rid of? looking for one for my underwater photography gear. thanks!
