The BackLight 26L comes in two colors and provides gear access without removing the pack.Photo: MindShift Gear If having an ice axe loop on your camera bag is important to you, than you are probably the kind of photographer that is the muse of MindShift Gear.
The company that designs bags and other accessories for hardy outdoor photographers will begin shipping a new camera backpack in October featuring a rear-panel compartment that allows access to your gear without taking off your backpack.
And yes, there's a spot for your ice axe.
Take the arms out of the straps and swing the pack from the waist belt for access to your gear.Photo: MindShift Gear The BackLight 26L is available for pre-order at $249.99 in green or charcoal colors.
It is the latest in a growing line of products founded by the creators of ThinkTank Photo bags and conservation photographer Daniel Beltrá.
The 26L features nine liters of capacity with dedicated compartments for both a 10-inch tablet and 15-inch laptop. It will hold a standard DSLR camera, four to six lenses and other accessories, like a flash, or two large mirrorless cameras with up to seven lenses.
To get to that gear, housed in a back panel compartment, the 26L user need not remove the bag. He or she can slip their arms out of the shoulder straps and swing the bag around to the front with the padded waist belt.
Like other MindShift Gear products, the 26L comes with a rugged water-resistant exterior fabric, abrasion-resistant YKK zippers and a seam-sealed rain cover.
MindShift Gear understands you need more than your photo equipment and has constructed the bag to hold other essentials, like gloves, chargers, a headlamp and water bottles.
You can order directly from MindShift Gear or use its website store locator.
