TT Streetwalker HD

[Eric]

I'm still in the hunt for a new camera bag. I was looking into the Tamrac Expedition 6x and 7x but after playing with them in person, I'm kind of turned off.

I liked the design and build of the ThinkTanks but didn't get to play with a Streetwalker HardDrive. Anyone want to let me know if I can fit the following gear in the main compartment.

xxD body w/ 24-70 attached
70-200 f/4 IS
10-22
Sig 30
Sig 50
85 1.8
430 EXII

I've done some google image searches and seems like it should all get in there. I've read this review (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=676757) and found it very helpful.

Thanks everyone.

Looks like a pretty good fit for me then. I will even have room for a back up body in the future, maybe.
Thank you

Can you post pics of your bag packed? I have been looking at that bag for a few days and would like to see pics of it packed.

I'll post some tonight when I get home

Awesome. That would be highly appreciated.

Just pulled the trigger on this bag also. I'm half blind bouncing from maker to maker checking their websites and following posts in here. Clincher for me was that it will easily hold a 5D gripped and a 70-200 with the hood on. Needed a bag that would also hold a 100-400 and saw a site that showed that . . somewhere. Inside dimensions of 6 - 7 inches deep is going to make placing gripped bodies so much easier. Now the waiting begins . . .

I was looking at the AirPort Antidote and some other one as well but didn't like how there was really only camera and laptop compartments, I like the extra pockets on the StreetWalker HardDrive. Also wasn't too impressed with the normal StreetWalker...

Bag is on order though, can't wait.

Here are a couple of quick shots.

Thanks. Looks pretty good to me. I may use it and just use my computrekker plus as storage. I love the computrekker plus, but its really too big to travel with. I do use it to ger a lot of gear to a location in town and then pack into other solutions. This looks like a good bag for carry too. I wish they made one with the same storage without the laptop compartment. It would be a little deeper and that would rock.

Looks like plenty of room for what I need. Thanks for the pics.

As you can see this bag can really haul a lot of gear, mine currently has 1 body, 8 lenses, and 2 flashes along with all the rest. Its a bag that if you pack efficiently will hold about as much as you could ever want to haul. What I really liked about the bag when I was shopping for it, is that you can configure the bag to be able to hold an EF 400mm f/2.8L IS attached to a 1D body and STILL have room for some other lenses along with it. Its not a configuration I have to worry about yet, but its nice to know you can go there. I love the bag for travelling. It fits in ALL overheads even when stuffed to the gills.

I usually travel with it with the tripod holder either holding my tripod or my small tripod bag which has 2 flash stands in it.

The bag is VERY versatile and comfortable, thanks to heavy padding on the back, so you don't really get too fatigued even after 5 or 6 hours of lugging it around airports.

I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a big bag that can haul a lot of gear + a notebook.

Another reviewer has a pic of the pack being worn by his wife. Looks like a good size to me.

I've been using this bag daily for about half a year now - it is extremely well designed, will easily fit all the OPs stated gear and more, and is comfortable to wear.

Good, then when I get a second body and flash I wont have to get a new bag as well. I like the idea of room to grow, I should get pants like that.
