FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Carry DSLR and Laptop in Think Tank Photo’s
Urban Disguise™ 35 Shoulder Bag
Urban Disguise Sales to Support Reporters Without Borders
SANTA ROSA, CALIF – Think Tank Photo’s new Urban Disguise
™
35 shoulder bag is
the perfect size for photographers on the go: it holds up to a 13.3″ laptop with a
standard-size DSLR or up to a 10″ laptop with a Pro-size DSLR with lens attached. It
features a large opening for easy access to equipment, attaches to a roller, and can be
used as a backpack with the Shoulder Harness (sold separately).
Its features include:
•
Holds multiple lenses and accessories
•
Center Divider separates laptop from camera gear
•
Can be carried like a backpack with optional Shoulder Harness
•
Front Pocket holds an additional Pro-size DSLR body
•
Can carry DSLR with 70-200 2.8 lens attached
Like all of the Urban Disguise models, this new shoulder bag is designed to
allow photographers to travel in style while protecting their valuable equipment from
prying eyes. They are intentionally designed not to look like camera bags, thus allowing
photographers to carry even their larger lenses and laptops into potentially perilous
settings. They are specifically designed for Digital SLRs and for holding the bag close
to the photographer’s body.
“This design concept is the culmination of years of observation of
photojournalists and other photographers who have jury-rigged their bags to decrease their public exposure,” said Think Tank Photo founder and lead designer Doug Murdoch.
“Whether you are a professional who wishes to maintain a lower profile in potentially
dangerous situations or a serious amateur who wishes to lessen the risk of having your
gear ripped off, the Urban Disguise’s low profile design allows you to carry the right gear
with less fear.”
Urban Disguise Sales to Support Reporters Without Borders
Think Tank Photo is dedicating a percentage of U.S. sales of Urban Disguise
shoulder bags to Reporters Without Borders USA. Reporters Without Borders has fought
for press freedom on a daily basis since it was founded in 1985.
Lucie Morillon of Reporters Without Borders USA said, “Think Tank Photo is
using this campaign to show its support of press freedom and concern about the dangers
facing journalists by dedicating a portion of the proceeds from the bags sales to the
international press freedom organization. By buying Urban Disguise bags reporters will
not only treat themselves to some great camera bags, but also show their solidarity with
colleagues around the globe who risk their lives daily to get at the truth. Funds raised on
behalf of Reporters Without Borders will help the organization pursue its activities in
support of journalists, and improve their safety.”
