Tenba’s new Ultralight Backpack is the newest addition to the company’s Shootout collection. The bag weighs in at less than 3-lbs, yet it has the capacity to fit a full-size professional digital camera system with one or two bodies, three to five lenses and all the usual accessories.
The dobby and diamond ripstop nylon bag may not be the most handsome product but it gets the job done well. The Ultralight is available in black/olive, silver/black and black/black for $134.95.

Chopin Vodka debuted the largest bottle of vodka ever produced this past weekend at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The bottle, standing seven feet tall, is an exact replica of Chopin Vodka’s signature bottle.
The 7-foot tall bohemoth was signed by celebrities including Sandra Bullock (Blind Side), Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland, Hurricane Season), James Cameron (Avatar) and more. The 200-liter bottle will be auctioned off for charity later this year with the proceeds going to the Grammy Foundation.
