This clever cube turns any bag into a camera bag

by 4 Comments

There are many photography bags. Just go out and try to have your pick, you’ll be at awe. I think that choosing your first camera bag can be an overwhelming decision for the new photographer. (More experianmced photographers don’t choose a photography bag, they buy them all).

This is where something like the new Stash Master 13L from Mindshift gear can help. You can keep your old (non-photography) bag and eat it too. Essentially the Stash Master is a padded cube with a zipper on top. It’s kinda the right size to fit in almost any bag and convert it into a camera carrying device.

Think Tank FINALLY adds a laptop pocket to their airport international

I am not going to hide it, I am a big Think Tank fan. In fact the bag we used to carry around in photokina is a ThinkTank Roller Derby. I do own an Airport International as well (see review here), but if I need a laptop, it was out of the question. It has no laptop pocket.

So the fact that Think Tank finally added a laptop pocket to the bag will probably make a lot of people happy.

We were intrigued by the same question and asked 5 companies this exact question. Here is their response:
