Think Tank PressPass 10 Shoulder/Sling Camera Bag, Small

2025-08-03T20:00:00

As a photojournalist, I've been looking for a more compactly designed camera bag for those times where I don't need a full kit of gear. This bag somewhat fulfills this mission, with certain limitations. The design is best suited for those with mirrorless camera bodies as it's a very tight fit for those of us with DSLRs and a battery pack. I had to remove almost all of the padded inserts to make it usable. If it was just a couple of inches bigger in all directions, I'd rate it 5 stars. The bag is well built and it's nice to have the built-in carry options. I still leave my full-size bag in my vehicle just in case I need something that won't fit inside this one. Maybe Think Tank could come out with a PressPass 30 that could better serve DSLR users or those who need just a bit more gear space.

From the design of the bag it is obvious the bag was designed to be worn as a waist bag first and the shoulder/sling options were an after thought.  IMO the bag could have easily been designed to allow the removal of the waist belt. My intended use for the PressPass 10 is as a shoulder bag to carry a single camera body with attached lens in an urban environment. My Pro's Shoulder strap can be removed Bag has two different anchor points for shoulder strap (shoulder/crossbody) Z6iii with 24-120 f4 S lens attached fits horizontally Back pocket holds my cell phone Front pocket holds extra batteries and a spare SD car Included raincover My Con's Waist belt with buckle cannot be removed Raincover stored on bottom, uneven surface

The Think Tank PressPass has quickly become my absolute favorite bag - I truly love it! It's incredibly well-designed and so versatile for carrying my gear. I currently own the PressPass 20, and it comfortably holds a significant amount of equipment, making it perfect for my needs. I'm even considering adding the smaller PressPass 10 to my collection for those times when I need a more compact option. The quality and thoughtful features of this bag are outstanding, making it a fantastic choice for any photographer.

I purchased this originaly to be a lens bag for when on assignment for golf and others. But have also been using it as my everyday carry bag as well. I put my Leica Q, 10.2 iPad, and a couple other things and I am set. Super comfortable. I wish it had a small sleeve dedicated to the iPad, but putting it behind the insert works.

I've been searching for a waist pack to hold my mirrorless gear and I've finally found a versatile one. The PressPass 20 fits my lightweight travel photography gear needs and I love that I can go from a waist pack to a sling. As a long time ThinkTank user, this is a great addition to the family.

The PressPass 10 is a real find among camera bags for the active tourist as well. I pack both my Q2M and Q3-43 cameras in it as well as batteries, etc. It provides a perfect fit, plenty of protection and ease of use. Wonderful for roaming around Italy in March!!

So far my experience has been awesome. This bag has so many different uses for me. It's great when traveling light with one camera and lens plus accessories. Often I use it in cross body mode. Great on vacation as well as when I'm doing professional portrait work! I highly recommend this bag. It's super light weight but very durable.

I really like the quality of this product, top notch! I will be using this as a lens carrier for my Digital camera.

Great lens bag, my assistant could grab the PressPass 10 containing three Sigma prime lenses, spare camera batteries, media, and filters, and we had everything we needed while running around Berlin shooting scenics or moving up and downstairs inside an artists studio.

My favorite ThinkTank bag has consistently been the ChangeUp - V1, then V2. Both have been my constant companions on my travels around the world. When I downsized to a Z50 setup, I searched and waited for a more compact version of the ChangeUp. The PressPass 10 is that bag, and it is a pleasure to wear. I wear it crossbody like a sling most of the time, rotate to the front when working, hook up the belt if I'm walking long distances or scrambling over more technical terrain, and mount a water bottle carrier as needed. It holds my Z50 and a 3-lens set with room to spare, plus accessories, a smartphone and a few other small things effortlessly. It would hold a Z5-7 and a lens or two nicely as well without feeling too bulky. Is it perfect? No. I think it is, in the ChangeUp tradition, the most practical and bag out there, streamlined and professionally unobtrusive, but it is missing something essential. Well, 4 things, to be specific: webbing loops on the bottom to attach 1/2" or 3/4" straps. Not necessarily for a tripod, although a compact tabletop model would fit; more for a small stuff sack carrying a wind jacket, hat, gloves, maybe some snacks, or the comfy but kinda bulky shoulder strap when you're not using it. To be honest, the ChangeUps forgot this as well and I wound up having some web loops sewn into the bottom seams. I'll make you a deal - you already have half of the necessary quartet of web loops - the bottom loop in the daisy chains. Add two web loops to the back bottom seam directly in line with the bottom of the daisy chains and we can call it good. You'll make a lot of ChangeUp lovers very happy.

This is an awesome bag. Plenty of room for my two bodies with lenses attached, plus extra batteries, straps, etc. Also holds my Canon R with the 24-105mm F4 attached and a 70-200 f4, plus extras.

This fits my camera with a sunshade - two accessory lenses, four batteries, many memory cards and a few other accessories. The bag gives me access to any scenario I come across. I use it mostly as a cross body sling with the occasional ***** setup. It's absolutely the most convenient grab 'n go setup when I don't need my bigger cameras.

This bag was a surprise! I actually use it most like my modular belt system. The ***** pack can be rotated from my side to the front so easily. I attach a couple extra bangs on the belt and use the strap at the same time.

I used on a photoshoot. It was able to hold my 14-24mm, 70-200 [horizontally] and my camera with 24-120 lense.Also have 2 ND filters and 2 batteries in the pockets. I used it as a cross shoulder. It worked very nicely as I didn't need to use a larger "backpack" for my daily work. For travel, used as a personal carry-on. Camera, lenses and computer were in your roller backpack. Great products!

Overall very happy with this bag, it's very comfortable on a long day whether you're wearing it as a belt, on the shoulder, or as a sling. I really like the self locking zippers. If there was anything I would improve, it would be the top carry handle. It's a little thin and cheap feeling, and even the straps on the front are a little thin and small for my liking. Overall great bag and I will be getting more bags in this series

I have had this bag for a short time and used it on several of my assignments. The build quality of the bag is the usual high rate standards we have come to know about all of the ThinkTank gear.( Exterior Material. Zippers, Belt Buckles, Rain Cover etc..) I find it to be very light and yet sturdy enough to hold my lenses and accessories. The option to use it as a belt pack a or a sling bag is awesome?great when carrying slightly heaver gear. The attachment points on the belt for the Modular System is a nice touch. My only complaints are the bag is missing some small pockets in the front of the bag used for small items and maybe some reinforcements for protection at the bottom of the bag and higher stress areas. Time will tell how this bag holds out during regular use in the field. I am however confident the Press Pass 10 will PASS the test!

The PressPass 10 is my latest addition to an embarrassingly large collection of photo bags and backpacks. Having had overall very positive experiences with ThinkTank/Mindshift products, I gave this new bag a go. I used it on a recent Europe trip loaded with my Canon R5 fitted with the RF24-240 lens, the RF16/2.8 and a set of magnetic filters. I love that it doesn't add unnecessary bulk (especially with the insert removed) and appreciate the different carry options. The side pocket offers sufficient room for accessories like batteries. I can also see myself using this bag with a minimalistic 2-lens landscape kit (RF14-35+24-105 or 70-200/4). Overall, one of my better recent purchases.

Didn't quite fit my kit. Love Think Tank bags, but this one not a good match

This is what I have been waiting for since the Change Up went out of production. Something that can hang over the shoulder and yet be utilized to hold everything I need for my shoots. Their are a few small things that i miss in the PressPass that I had in my Change Up and that is the small side pockets on the belt, and a spot to hold a water bottle. Still worth the purchase and a worthy upgrade to its successor.

The good: * Optional padded insert is a great idea. * Body-side mini-pocket is great for things you want to access a lot. * Sewing and material quality is very nice. * Holds quite a bit of stuff for its external size. The bad: * The video says that it sits flat, but because of the rain cover it does not. * Location of the shoulder-strap attachment points are not symmetrical, meaning that the bag dictates which shoulder will work with crossbody carry (left shoulder, right is impossible). * Shoulder-strap attachment points attach to the back panel of the bag, instead of the middle of the bag. This means that putting any kind of weight (think f/0.95 Noct == 70 oz) in the bag makes it hang funny.

I had high hopes for this bag. I watched the video and read what ThinkTank had written about it. As I see it, the PressPass 10 is definitely usable as is - but could have been so much better with the addition of just a few things. And I'm surprised too because according to ThinkTank a lot of thought and input from working pros went into this bag. I admittedly do not work as a journalist, but I do plenty of event photography and I've been looking for something lighter and more versatile than the Lenschanger 3 which I guess has been discontinued. Here are some things that would have made it great if they had been thought of/included: 1. Compression straps on the bottom for a tripod. TBH I never use this feature for tripods, but it's super handy to have to store a jacket or monopod. 2. There is literally nowhere to store the shoulder strap if you take it off to use it as a waist pack. So it's cool that the bag has options for wear, but for the most part, you have to decide on how you're going to wear it before you go into action, or you're going to take up the same amount of space as you would a good sized lens if you store it inside the bag. The strap is nice and cushiony, but it doesn't fold down small. 3. The inner padding insert secures inside the back wall of the bag via velcro, but there is no velcro on the front of the insert to secure it to the front part of the bag. It would seem to me that if this had been included the bag would feel more stable with the insert. Without the insert, it really feels like your stuff will easily topple out onto the ground. 4. While I appreciate the loops on the sides of the waist belt where additional pouches can be added - it's a bummer that this feature can only be used if you're using it in the belt configuration. There are small loops on the outside of the bag that might be suitable for attaching small items too, but they are oriented vertically, so you can't really attach a pouch to them easily. 5. I would have loved to have seen a dedicated slot for a cell phone or sunglasses. I ordered the Mindset phone/sunglasses holster hoping there would be a way to securely attach it to this bag, but nope - not really. I really dislike the way that pouch and the new Little Stuffit mount. The older designs were far superior. 6. A water bottle pouch on the side of the bag would have been much appreciated, but it would seem that ThinkTank is over water since they also have discontinued the water bottle pouch from the modular pouch and belt line. 7. No smaller organizational pockets inside at all. Would have loved a spot for business cards, a wallet, a pen, or anything. Nope, Just two large zippered compartments, and one unzippered interior one. In conclusion it's a decent enough bag, but because it lacks so many no-brainer features that photographers in the field need, I think it's overpriced.

This is a small bag I've been searching for. It's a belt bag when you need it and a shoulder bag when you want to swing that way. The first time I used it was for a golf match to carry a wide-angle lens, extra camera battery and extra memory cards. Walking the golf course I didn't want a shoulder bag so I slipped off the padded strap and used the belt straps. Perfect! The padded back of the bag made strapping it on quite comfortable for an afternoon of walking around a golf course.
