Award-Winning Shape Shifter® Expandable Backpack Updated and “Naked” Option Added

A revolution in backpack design when it first released, the Shape Shifter expanded and contracted to hold gripped camera bodies and a laptop. In response to input from professional photographers, we have  released the Shape Shifter in three new configurations. The Shape Shifter 15 V2.0 is designed to hold a 15” laptop and the Shape Shifter 17 is designed to hold a 17” laptop. The new Naked Shape Shifter 17 allows photographers to attach Skin Pouches or Lens Changers inside to create a totally customized modular backpack.
