The Think Tank BackStory 15 is a versatile, professional-grade backpack designed for photographers who need a balance between secure equipment storage and rapid deployment. It serves as an ideal solution for field shooters and traveling creatives who require dedicated space for both camera gear and a laptop up to 16 inches, though its structured design may feel slightly bulky for those who prioritize a lightweight, minimalist everyday carry.

The backpack weighs 1.6 kg.
The interior dimensions are 27 x 43 x 15 cm.
Adjust the chest strap and use the removable waist belt to transfer weight to your hips, or re-balance your gear inside to prevent heavy items from leaning outward.
Ensure the laptop is placed into the specific sleeve first, and avoid overstuffing the zippered mesh pockets in the front compartment that share space with the laptop area.
Check for debris or grit stuck in the zipper track; use a dry, soft-bristled brush to clear the area, or occasionally apply a wax-based zipper lubricant.
To maximize the utility of the BackStory 15, begin by configuring the internal dividers to match your specific camera body and lens dimensions. Ensure heavy items are placed centered and closer to the back panel to maintain a balanced center of gravity. For long-distance travel, attach the removable waist belt to distribute the load from your shoulders to your hips. Maintenance is straightforward: wipe the Microfibre, Nylon, and Polyurethane exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. In the event of heavy rain, immediately deploy the provided rain cover to protect the seams and zipper areas. Store the backpack in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the weather-resistant coatings.
