Think Tank DarkLight 25L Tactical Camera Backpack

Think Tank DarkLight 25L Tactical Camera Backpack

A 25-litre tactical camera backpack built for demanding field and travel use, with back-panel gear access, quick top access, MOLLE expansion points and room for two gripped bodies plus a substantial lens kit.

The Think Tank DarkLight 25L combines professional camera protection with a modular tactical carry system. A laser-cut MOLLE panel and side webbing rails support compatible add-on pouches, while the rear-opening camera compartment keeps the harness side clean when the bag is placed on wet or dusty ground. Quick top access lets you reach a camera with lens attached without fully opening the pack, and the 25-litre interior is sized for larger professional kits including long telephoto zooms.
