This refers to the capabilities of high-end DSLR cameras and lens to shoot still photos and record HD video and stereo sound and the abilities of photographers to mix these various media into compelling, sensory experiences.

2. Multimedia HDSLR photographers need more than cameras, lens and audio equipment to create dynamic stories; they also need equipment bags and cases specifically designed and manufactured to support this new form of visual/audio creativity. Think Tank Photo is the first camera bag company to serve these needs with the Multimedia Wired Up Collection.

3. Many photographers already trust Think Tank’s ruggedly built, high-value bags and cases to protect their equipment. Now, with the Multimedia Wired Up Collection, they have a selection of bags that helps them manage the many cords and cables that connect cameras, microphones and recording equipment.

4. All the bags in the Multimedia Wired Up Collection are designed with various openings in the sides and bottoms, so most cable lengths are routed inside the bag, protecting them from weather and snagging. Photographers spend more time creating stories and less time managing and fighting cables.

5. Think Tank’s Multimedia Wired Up 20 is the pro’s belt pack camera bag for Multimedia HDSLR. With its harness system and support straps, the Wired Up 20 is easy to carry during a daylong shoot and provides quick access to all devices inside. It’s roomy enough to keep a HDSLR camera and basic zoom connected and ready to shoot and hold as much as a detached 70–200mm f/2.8 lens.

6. Think Tank has cleverly added what it calls “Mic Hands,” at various positions on the outside of the Wired Up 20, where a microphone can be attached for hands-free audio. A headphone hook has been included on the belt, so headphones are readily available, but also placed where they can’t interfere with shooting.

7. The pocket for an audio recorder is at the front of the bag, so controlling the audio is very convenient. Think Tank has also added a very helpful cable management pouch to store cables when not in use and a rain cover that protects equipment from the weather. The Multimedia Wired Up 20 Bag retails for $135.

8. Think Tank’s Multimedia Wired Up 10 Bag has all the same features and capabilities of the Wired Up 20, except the 10 is a bit smaller, with room for a detached 24–70mm f/2.8, 16–35mm f/2.6 lens or similar size lenses.

9. The Multimedia Big Audio Case is part of Think Tank’s Multimedia Wired Up Collection. The Big Audio Case has been designed to accommodate larger audio recorders and the Marantz PMD 660 and PMD 661, specifically. It features the same series of cable ports as well as a front pocket for a small microphone.

The “Quick Tab” makes it easy to monitor audio levels, keeping both hands free. The case is carried with an over-the-shoulder strap and includes its own rain cover. The Multimedia Big Audio Case is priced at $38.95.

10. Think Tank’s Multimedia Audio Recorder Case is a more compact version of the Big Audio Case, but with all its features. The Multimedia Audio Recorder Case is built for smaller or hand-held audio recorders, such as the Roland Edirol R-09HR, Samson Zoom H2 or Olympus LS-10. This Think Tank case costs only $32.

11. Think Tank’s response to the needs of Multimedia HDSLR photographers wouldn’t be complete without an equally convenient and protective bag for microphone kits. The Multimedia Wireless Mic Kit has space for a pair of wireless microphone transmitters and receivers as well as two lavalier mic kits. This case is designed with all the same features of all the pieces in the Think Tank Multimedia Wired Up Collection, including a lifetime warranty. The Multimedia Wireless Mic Kit retails for $39.95.

12. The Multimedia Mic Drop In is a small bag that can be conveniently carried on a belt. The bag extends to a 4-inch vertical pouch providing enough room for as long as a 16” shotgun mic. A windshield is also included that wraps around the mic jutting from the top of the bag. Excess mic cable is coiled and stored on the side of the bag with a Quick Tab loop. The Multimedia Mic Drop In retails for $32.
