FAQs
Is the BackLight 32L only for large telephoto lenses?
No, while it can carry a 600mm f4 or 800mm f5.6 lens attached to a gripped body, the interior is highly configurable. The dividers and padded inserts allow you to reconfigure the layout for a mix of shorter lenses, multiple bodies, or accessories as needed.
How accessible is the main compartment in the field?
The rear-panel access allows you to open the main compartment while the bag is upright or lying flat. This design helps keep your back panel clean and your gear protected when working outdoors, especially on rough or muddy terrain.
What can I carry in addition to camera gear?
The bag features a 7L front organiser pocket for clothing or food, a padded sleeve for a 13-inch tablet, and internal mesh pockets for cables and batteries. External mounting points let you carry a tripod or trekking poles securely.
Is it comfortable for long days out?
The BackLight backpack uses a 9-point adjustable harness system with a padded waist belt, sternum strap, and breathable 320G mesh back panel. Combined with its structured shape and lumbar support, it offers balanced weight distribution and lasting comfort over extended periods.
Is the Think Tank BackLight 32L suitable for use in bad weather?
Yes, the backpack features weather-resistant materials, including 420D Dynatec nylon and high-density closed-cell foam. These protect against light rain, dust, and abrasions during outdoor use. For heavier downpours, a seam-sealed Realtree camo rain cover is included to protect the entire pack. The zippers and reinforced seams also help prevent moisture from entering, making it dependable for fieldwork in changeable conditions.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
