MindShift Gear, the sister company of Think Tank Photo, unveiled two new camera bags designed specifically for outdoor photographers, the TrailScape and the SidePath.
The TrailScape is an 18-liter bag that features a similar design and identical color scheme to MindShift’s larger FirstLight bag. What differentiates the two is the size and intended purpose. Unlike the FirstLight bag, which is designed with gear-heavy DSLR photographers in mind, the TrailScape features a smaller form for photographers who prefer more compact DSLR setups or mirrorless cameras.
The TrailScape features a dedicated pocket for a laptop up to 13 inches in size and a tablet up to 10 inches. In addition to padded pockets for computer gear, there are smaller pockets for pens, batteries, multitools, and more.
When using a mirrorless setup, the TrailScape is capable of easily holding up to three cameras and half a dozen lenses. If you are a compact DSLR photographer, you should be able to fit a non-gripped DSLR with a 70–200mm lens attached, as well as a few other lenses or speed lights.
The SidePath follows suit in terms of the small form factor. Weighing in at only 1.6 pounds and offering 14 liters of internal volume, the SidePath is the smallest backpack in MindShift’s lineup. One of the unique features of the bag is its rear-panel access, which is capable of holding a compact DSLR setup or a slightly more robust mirrorless setup. Don’t expect to fit much more than a camera body and one or two lenses inside the SidePath. Whatever you do decide to pack though, the rear panel design should help keep your gear more safe against any would-be thieves.
The remaining space inside the bag includes room for extra items of clothing, camera accessories, and a dedicated pocket that holds tablets up to 10 inches in size or a 1.5-liter hydration bladder. Just make sure your hydration bladder is not prone to leaks. The last thing you want is a camera compartment flooded.
If you are looking to pack lighter on your next photo adventure, these two bags might be right up your alley. The TrailScape is available for $170 and the SidePath comes in at $99.
Fujifilm just gave its most popular instant camera a serious digital upgrade. The Instax Mini Evo 2 now comes with a touchscreen, larger sensor, and a video feature that captures four seconds before each photo. It is set to arrive by the end of November for $289.95.

Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.

A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
