Any of the Think Tank backpacks low profile enough for regular use?

I'm very interested in the SW HD but it looks like the regular SW is much more low profile (have a pro body though). The Glass Taxi doesn't seem to be as popular with the exception of long lens use. I don't want anything that looks too large. How do you owners feel about these (size in particular) for daily use (for example, walking around cities, vacationing,)? Also, is there any way to fit a gripped or pro body in the standard SW?

I have a Streetwalker and a Streetwalker HD. The HD is huge, definitely not something I would use everyday. The regular Streetwalker is a nice size for everyday use, but won't fit a body + grip.

Thanks. Thats what I was thinking. The streetwalker seems like a better choice for me but I could never use it with the 1D. I was hoping the bottom of the bag was deep enough. I've been using a Tenba backpack but I want to try a TT just for the heck of it (yes, bagaholic).

Why not the Streetwalker Pro? That one would fit your 1D Mark III.

The image below made me think twice. It looks like a great travel bag but seems large for a daily driver.

SW Pro and SW

I have both the StreetWalker and SWPro and the only real difference is the depth to handle a Pro body. I'm fortunate enough to live in a city that has a few stores that display just about every camera bag. The TT Streetwalkers are about as low profile as you'll get in a backpack to handle enough gear comfortably. The HD, Glass Taxi and other TT products can get pretty big. I have 5 Domke bags and have opted to carry all my gear around in the Streetwalkers instead. The only time I'll use the Domke is when I'm using a body and 2 lenses. I find it more comfortable to carry more gear in the SW than much lighter gear in a shoulder bag.

I like and use shoulder bags but some of my upcoming trips (NYC, SF, ...) will include my little ones so a backpack is more convenient. I've also thought about the UD60 as I already have the shoulder harness (UD40) but that would probably not be a very convenient option for daily use.

Anyone have a pic (or link to a pic) of the standard SW or SW pro on? I've seen a few of the Glass Taxi and HD but not the other streetwalkers.

I like those bags but, for my needs I decided on the TT Airport Takeoff for my travels. I was about to order one from TT and low and behold, a BNIB went up for sale. I'm really excited.

I noticed on the pics of your SW theres a body on the bottom (on its side). Wouldn't a gripped body fit in that configuration?

How about the UD 35? It looks low profile to me.

Size-wise it looks nearly optimal. The SW's look more comfortable though. I can use my UD40 with the straps but it doesnt really feel like a pack. It also seems more attractive for thieves.

Good point. Maybe you should try looking for a sling type back pack.

I ordered a TT SWP but decided to return it 5 minutes after I took it out of the box. It is not a big bag, don't be fooled by that picture! I had to return it and get an Airport Takeofff.

From specs, its linear dimensions are the same as the Tenba Shootout Mini (which is pretty small). I've been searching for images of it on a person but everyone seems to own an HD.
