Think Tank Releases Video Rig Bags
/
If you shoot video as I do, using a pro camera, you already know what a pain it is to find a bag for your rig that doesn't require you to disassemble the entire thing to put it away. My friends at Think Tank have just released a set of bags that may just be perfect for you. In addition to being lighter weight and having more features than traditional hard cases, the Video Rig Rollers enable you to hit the ground running by leaving your camera rigs fully assembled between shoots. For traveling videographers, the Video Transport Rollers allow you to carry on the maximum amount of gear on the plane with you. Finally, designed for everyday use, the three new Video Workhorse shoulder bags are your on-the-go toolbox for professional video. Don’t forget that with my special arrangement with Think Tank you receive a free accessory and free shipping with your orders of all of their gear.
