Welcome back to another gear review, everyone! Today I wanted to chat with you all about an everyday carry camera bag that I’ve been using….The Think Tank Turn Style 10.
Think Tank Turn Style 10 Review
I’ve been using the Think Tank Turnstyle 10 for a little over a month now. I have primarily used this as an everyday carry bag, along with my Fuji X-T20 Kit. It is the perfect size to bring along to a non-technical photo shoot where 1 camera and a lens or two are required. As well as a casual day out with family or friends.
The Think Tank Turnstyle 10 V2.0 has been excellent in terms of its portability. It takes up no room in a car, restaurant booth or places you regularly frequent.
Is the Think Tank Turnstyle 10 Comfortable?
I am going to get this out of the way up front. Because I’m sure I’m not the only one who finds 3/4 of sling bags uncomfortable. And that was my fear going into testing the TurnStyle 10. But I am happy to report that the TurnStyle 10 by Think Tank is extremely comfortable. And again, that’s coming from someone who finds the majority of sling bags very uncomfortable.
I have logged countless miles with the Turn Style slung around my body. For hours on end, I’ve carried this bag on outdoor shoots and general day outings.
Think Tank put a generous amount of padding into the single sling on the TurnStyle, which helps a lot in absorbing the weight carried by the bag. They also put a hideable hip belt into the pack, which has proven to be extremely helpful in certain circumstances where you need some extra stability.
Materials & Quality of the Think Tank Turn Style Bag:
As with all of the Think Tank bags, they did a superb job on all of the details for the Turn Style 10 V2.0. They use my favorite zippers, YKK. Which are bomb proof and do a nice job of eliminating moisture/rain from getting into your pack.
The lightweight nylon fabric used on the exterior of the pack is a nicely chosen material. It features a water repellant coating as well, which does a nice job.
Going back to comfort – The mesh that they have used on the back panel and the shoulder strap is a nice addition for hotter months as well.
Now you see it, now you don’t – Hidden Rain Cover:
I’m a self-proclaimed bag nerd. And the hidden rain cover on the TurnStyle 10 V2.0 is simply brilliant. It tucks into the very bottom of the pack and is 100% non-obtrusive until you need it. (it’s located along the blue tab, seen above)
The rain cover fits the Turn Style 10 like a glove. It is fully seam sealed, so no moisture is able to get in. And it can be secured to the bottom and top of the pack via a couple of nylon loops. So not only are you guaranteed a dry bag, but you don’t have to worry about your rain cover flying off if the wind picks up.
This is perhaps my favorite feature on the TurnStyle 10.
Think Tank Turn Style 10 Capacity:
I have found the Think Tank Turn Style 10 to be that “just right” kind of bag in terms of space. It perfectly handles my Fuji XT20 camera (with grip), a spare lens, plenty of extra batteries, a notebook, some snacks and a few other items.
I honestly cannot think of a better carry system for someone who shoots a mirrorless camera set up.
Interior of the Think Tank Turn Style V2.0:
As with all of the Think Tank (and MindShift) bags that I have tried, they put soft-sided velcro on the entire inner compartment. I’m excited about this! Because, it allows unlimited options for organizing your gear.
If you are carrying a DSLR with a long lens, you can easily remove the dividers and insert your camera/lens. Just the same – If you’re like me and carry a compact camera + a lot of accessories, this pack will accommodate you as well.
Think Tank Turnstyle 10 (9.5/10):
I give the TurnStyle 10 V2.0 a very strong 9.5 out of a 10 rating. This bag is seriously the perfect mirrorless camera bag for me. It’s comfortable, even when loaded to the gills. And it is made with 100% quality. The only thing that would make this bag better, gaining itself a 10 out of a 10 is if it had a quick disconnect strap.
I would 100% recommend this pack if it fits within your desired size range. If you have any questions about it, please drop me a comment below! I’m always happy to help in any way I can.
