I put the Mirrorless Mover bags from ThinkTank to the test. These are great bags for photo walks, vacation outings, and everyday activities.
Why Use The ThinkTank Mirrorless Mover?
Photographers have several camera bags because each one serves a particular purpose. The Mirrorless Mover bags are lightweight, compact, and secure making them the right choice for lighter, more nimble photo activities. This is the kind of bag you reach for when you don’t need your entire photo kit, but you do want your camera and maybe another lens with you for a day of photography.
My use for the Mirrorless Mover is for urban photo walks or a day out with family and friends. I’ll use this when on vacations, too, where photography isn’t necessarily my primary activity. Yet I want a secure, well-made bag to carry my camera because I know I’ll want to capture memories and sights along the way.

I tested the MM20 and MM30 bags. The MM20 is a good choice for micro 4/3rds cameras or smaller crop-sensor mirrorless bodies. I prefer the MM30 for full-frame mirrorless bodies, and there was plenty of space for a water bottle and light snack - perfect when I’m out and about for several hours. All the bags room for spare batteries, memory cards, and other accessories.
Pouches, Pockets, And Compartments
The Mirrorless Mover includes velcro dividers so you can customize the main compartment to hold your particular cameras and lenses. The flip-top lid sports a magnetic closure, providing quick access to your gear. There is also a zipper pouch on the underside of the lid for small accessories like memory cards and batteries.

Overall Thoughts
I found the Mirrorless Movers comfortable to wear and easy to work with. The shoulder strap is padded and can be worn over one shoulder or across your body (my preferred way to wear the bag). Accessing my gear while walking and wearing the bag was smooth and frictionless. I did need to relieve a little tension on the shoulder strap to close the zippers while wearing the bag.
The built-in rain cover is a very nice touch. It is part and parcel of the bag and tucks away in the front zipper pouch, taking up next to no space. Yet if the weather turns, you have another at-the-ready layer of protection for your gear.
One thing to note is the magnets on the flip-top lid are not designed to support the weight of a loaded bag. If you do not close the zippers and lift the bag by the grab handle, the bag will tip and there is a risk gear will spill out.
