Think Tank Photo has announced its new StreetWalker Rolling Backpack V2.0, which can switch from a backpack to a roller, and upgraded versions of all three classic StreetWalker backpacks. New features include increased depth for modern dSLR systems and dedicated pockets for both tablets and smartphones.

"With the release of the new StreetWalker Rolling Backpack and the new versions of the three classic StreetWalker backpacks, we made three of the best pro-level backpacks in the photo industry even better," said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank Photo's CEO and lead designer.

"The one thing we've heard over and over since they first launched is how comfortable and durable they are," he continued. "Now, with the hybrid rolling backpack and the upgraded core backpacks, we've integrated even more photographer feedback to expand their functionality."
