B&H has some specials going on (via their Optic 2020 Conference) and the two bags I am interested are on sale.

Think Tank Photo StreetWalker Pro V2.0 - $159.80

Think Tank Photo StreetWalker V2.0 - $139.80

Besides the specs below, the Pro I believe has a pocket that slips out for the tripod feet. Other than that, not sure how much different they really. Anyone have a preference? Experience? Tried both and settled on one of them? I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos and now I'm more confused LOL!

That's a good point. I do have grips for both but don't use them...what to do...what to do...

Go bigger. You have a grip that you are not using now, but when you do need to use it, like if your shooting in Portrait orientation and your back and hip are telling you something. Put your grip on and the pain will subside.
Why buy twice?

I practice street photography for over decade. Won some contest, been recognized.
Those are backpacks, not bags. If I’m not mistaken.
My skin is not ventilating enough with backpacks.
Messenger kind if bags works best for me.
I also don’t pack every possible gear. Two cameras with one lens for each is maximum.
If you need backpacks then it is different story from street walking :)

Yeah I may go that route as a $20 difference is no big deal. Thanks.

Backpacks work for me as I have scoliosis and Messenger bags can be painful after a while.

I have 2 BIG lenses and need the room. But yeah, never understood the name LOL!

I came here expecting a different kind of StreetWalker was being discussed. :oops:
