Think Tank Urban Approach 5 Shoulder Bag for Mirrorless Camera Systems

I bought this bag to carry my time-lapse and star-tracking equipment. If fits the Sky Tracker Pro almost perfectly, with enough room left over for a USB battery pack, and other small accessories. The velcro grips are very large, and loud. So the "silencers" are a good addition.

I'm pleased by the materials, construction, the size of this bag, and its particular utility. I wanted a smaller bag for local photo ops, running errands, etc., that would enable me to carry two cameras, extra batteries, cards I might need. While relatively small, this bag is perfect for micro four-thirds gear, and accommodates a G9 with the 12-60mm lens and a GX8 with a 12-32mm or 42.5mm lens, perfect for a day of shooting. While it could hold a smaller body zoom, such as the 45-175mm or 45-200mm, it would be too short for some of the larger zooms currently available for Panasonic and Olympus bodies. While I've only used it with my Panasonic bodies, I am pretty sure I could use it with my E-M1 and a prime or 12-40mm lens and an E-M5 with one of the smaller primes. The rain cover that is supplied with the bag is a great addition as well. At the time I purchased the bag, the sale price was so attractive I actually bought two of them and am pleased to have done so. I am pretty sure the solid construction will guarantee the bag will serve my needs for years to come.

I've been looking for a bag that's of a manageable size yet have enough space to hold my gear. This one is a perfect size, lightweight and the strap allows me to wear it crossover style, freeing my hands for other things.

Big enough for a camera with proper lens, but still small enough to be useful. Using with an Olympus OMD E-M1 and 14-54mm lens.

The Think Tank bag looks like the photos on Adorama. My only thought: I wish there were a few more images of the interior of the bag-perhaps with a mirrorless body and several lenses? The items I want to carry fit—but tightly. FWIW: I travel with a Fuji XT-2 and two lenses: 18-55 & 10-24

I have been looking and looking and looking for a compact bag that can hold my m4/3 system. This is the bag. It holds my GX85 with 12-35 f2.8 attached, along with my Oly 9-18, Oly 45 f1.8, Panny 25 f1.7 and Panny 45-150 zoom, PLUS CPL and ND filters and Cokin holder and 5 HiTech grad ND filters. I can also stuff a MK320 flash in one of the end pockets. The usual Think Tank build quality as well.

Returned to Adorama. Nice well made bag, but not what I was looking for. I wanted a camera/utility bag for travel... one that doesn't immediately announce, "camera equipment inside." This bag definitely looks like a camera bag. Exchanged for one of Adorama's more utilitarian bags.

Great little bag, smaller than I thought it would be but works well for the Fujifilm system, a camera body and 3 short lenses.

Fits a7 III with 24-105 + extra lense, like 70-300 + V360 flash

This is the smallest bag that will fit a Nikon Z mirrorless camera with two native lenses. One mounted and the other tucked vertically. With some ingenuity, you may also be able to store a tiny flash such as the SB-400. The fit will be tight, but workable.

The Think Tank Urban Approach 5, is just about the perfect size for my Fujifilm X-T2 or XT20 camera. I can carry either with the 18-55 lens mounted on the camera, plus have room for the 55-200 and 23mm f/2 lens.It was what I was looking for in a small carry bag for travel or street photography. The hook and loop system works well to keep everything intact, though I was looking at the other Think Tank bags that close with a magnet, this is more secure I think.The quest for a perfect bag is never ending, I have several and have learned that each bag has it's place and there is not a perfect bag for every type of photography. So we get to have more than one bag.

I purchased this Urban Approach 5 in comparison to the newer Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 20 model as they are both good for mirrlorless body + couple lenses & accessories. This UA5 seems to be much better built and higher quality and looks for professional too. I like the leather accent and the metal plate. It's slightly heavier but feel solid and more protection than the Mover 20. I also like the handle on this one better. The only thing I dont like about the UA5 is that it's not completely closed like the Mover 20 with the zipper. So anything like sand, dust, or small items can get to from 2 sides of UA5 easily unless using the included rain pouch. Overall, I'm happy with this so far. I might try out the Peak Design 5L next and see if that's any better.

Nice compact bag for a mirrorless or Micro 4/3 camera when you don’t want to lug around a lot of gear. Fits camera with room for a second lens or flash. If you have a Micro 4/3 camera you can probably fit in another lens.

Space for camera body, two lens and battery charger. Nice and compact.
