Think Tank Shape Shifter

What happens when you get to a plane and realize that the camera bag that you have packed to the hilt will in no way shape or form fit into the plane you need to board? Obviously you need to downsize. I figured i’d document my downsizing in pictures. It would give a real world scenario of how these two bags fit in my workflow – a bit of gearwatch/nerdout, and a peek at whats in my bag.So, a couple of weeks ago, I was trying to get to a tour stop over in North Carolina from Tampa. I totally blanked on checking what kind of plane I was attempting to board. Not checking this, I was thinking to myself “Hey.. you never know if you’re going to have a shoot. Why dont I pack a little bit of things just in case. The two bags that I tend to use when traveling are the ThinkTank Airport Security V2 and the ThinkTank ShapeShifter Im always made fun of for being notorious about overpacking. K. 4 SB800/900 lights, Three hard drives (2 keep Lightroom Images, one personal stuff), 70-200 lens, Camera, 24-70 lens,Mophie, plugs, cables, Flashlights, Elinchrom Skyports.. that kinda thing. I usually rest my Macbook Pro and my Intuos4 Med Tablet on top of all of this and shut the lid.
