A panel of 15 judges--all of whom are practicing professional photographers--deemed this bag from Think Tank Photo worthy of this year's Hot One Award for the the industry's best new camera bag for professional application. Within seconds, a beltpack can be rotated from inside the backpack to the front of the body, allowing instant access to the gear stored inside without having to take off the entire backpack to change lenses and accessories at a moment's notice. The bag also features an innovative method for mounting one or two SLRs on the front of the shoulder straps and transferring their weight to backpack's padded shoulder straps, removing stress to the neck and shoulders.
"We're honored that Professional Photographer magazine chose to name the rotation360° the best new product in the camera bag category," says Doug Murdoch, Think Tank Photo founder and lead designer. "Our business is based on listening to the needs of professional and serious photographers and creating innovative gear that serve their needs. The rotation360° breaks the barrier about which photographers in the field constantly complain: that they have to remove their backpack in order to access the contents inside."
