Think Tank DarkLight 20L Tactical Camera Backpack

Think Tank DarkLight 20L Tactical Camera Backpack

A 20-litre tactical camera backpack designed for professional mirrorless and DSLR kits, combining back-panel security, fast top access, modular MOLLE expansion and dedicated 16-inch laptop carry.

The Think Tank DarkLight 20L balances substantial camera capacity with a more compact footprint than the 25L. Its rear-opening camera compartment keeps valuable equipment protected against your back in transit, while the top opening provides rapid access to a camera with lens attached. A laser-cut MOLLE panel, side tactical webbing and configurable divider system make it suitable for field, event and travel photography where the loadout may change from one assignment to the next.

Need Help Choosing?
