Darklight; versatile bag!

I picked up the bag early last month and quickly moved into the new bag. I used it hiking in the Redwood National parks and along the Northern CA coast. Then the real test, flying from Northern CA to Eastern Europe where I live, it fit nicely on my my carry on suitcase, and held me equipment very organized. I use an a7r5, 70-200 f4, 35 f1,8, 85 f1.8 and a Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/2 FE. It even held my DJI mini 4 pro drone. The one thing I have had to improvise with is a removable organizing pouch for the front. Any recommendations? Overall, I really like the bag!

DarkLight 20L

My overall impression of the DarkLight 20L was favorable. The size is sufficient however I use a battery pack on my Nikon SLR camera and with the battery pack attached my 15" laptop will not fit on the laptop sleeve. Small problem with an easy but inconvenient workaround. Other than that the backpack is a great addition to the ThinkTank line.

Overall great bag. 25L would be perfect. Front pocket should unzip full length. Held up well on my firdt trip was able to carry my 14" MacBook Pro, 11" iPad Pro along with Z8, Z6II, 24-200, 14-24 and 100-400.

Excellent Bag!

I have been on the lookout for a new smaller travel bag for awhile and saw one of your ambassadors post about this bag and with a little review of it in one of my gear groups. I'll be honest it was him (Jasin Boland) that sold me on it. Now that I have it and have had some time with it was worth the hype. You have definitely sold me on future bags, you can tell how well thought out just this bag is and everything on it has a purpose, I'll be replacing my large bag with a Think Tank bag later this year.

Good concept but underwhelming product

The Darklight 20L is a good concept if not a little basic. My immediate reaction was that it was designed by an accountant with a focus on engineering out cost - the absence of the usual selection of robust internal pockets or security zips being obvious points. It will be fine for unadventurous photography but I wouldn't rely on it for demanding trips. Hopefully ThinkTank will introduce some Molle pouches - this functionality was a big attraction for me buying the bag in the first place.

Right size and weight to accommodate my needs. Going to use it on a two week trip starting next week.

Let the Think Tank DarkLight 20L Camera Backpack in Montane Green be your ultimate companion for both urban and field photography adventures. This tactical-style camera rucksack is meticulously engineered to meet the demands of photographers who require versatility and durability. Featuring a laser-cut MOLLE panel on the front, this backpack offers extensive attachment points, allowing you to expand your carrying capacity with precision by seamlessly integrating Think Tank modular pouches. The tactical webbing rails on the sides further enhance your ability to customize your loadout, ensuring you're prepared for any photographic mission.

Designed with convenience and security in mind, the DarkLight Backpack provides back-panel access to your camera gear, enabling you to retrieve equipment without removing the bag. This feature not only facilitates quick access but also adds an extra layer of security by keeping your gear protected against your back. The top opening allows for easy access to your camera gear, while the plush, air mesh-covered harness system ensures optimal comfort and moisture control during long shoots.

The backpack's thoughtful design includes a top zippered pocket on the lid, perfect for storing essentials like your wallet and phone. The front pocket is spacious enough to accommodate an iPad Pro and a 16" MacBook Pro, with an additional zippered pocket inside for keys and other small items. The right side pocket, equipped with a web cinch, can securely hold a water bottle or tripod, thanks to the upper and lower compression straps with SR buckles.

For all-day comfort, the DarkLight Backpack features airmesh-covered lumbar support and a rear panel, along with a luggage handle pass-through for easy transport. The highest quality YKK RC zippers, with ergonomic pulls, ensure smooth operation even when wearing gloves or in cold conditions. Inside, adjustable dividers allow you to organize large telephoto lenses, traditional photo gear, or personal items with ease.

Additional features include a top grab handle, hook and loop strips on the front panel for custom morale patches, and a removable padded waist belt for added support. Constructed from premium materials such as Poly 600D PU, NY 1680 Ballistics, and Hypalon TPU, the backpack is treated with a PFAS-free coating for superior water resistance, minimizing environmental impact. A rain cover is included for protection during heavy downpours.

The Think Tank DarkLight 20L Camera Backpack meets most international and U.S. carry-on requirements, fitting comfortably under most airline seats. It can hold two camera bodies with lenses attached and 2-3 additional lenses, or one body with a lens attached plus 3-5 lenses. It accommodates a maximum lens size of 300mm f/2.8 or 150-600mm f/5-6.3 attached to a body, making it an ideal choice for photographers who need to carry a comprehensive kit.
