ROTATION 360™ - thinkTANKphoto
The revolutionary Rotation360°™ backpack allows you to access your photo gear by rotating a belt pack through a hole in the bottom of the backpack, and return it again when desired, without having to take off the backpack. This gives you the comfort of a backpack with the convenience and accessibility of a beltpack.
Kneeling down can be very uncomfortable with a traditional beltpack. With the Rotation360°™ you can change lenses and then rotate the beltpack back into the backpack, or position it on the side of your body.
Please note that if you add long pouches to the beltpack this will limit the degree of rotation you can have.
