Think Tank Photo Airport TakeOff - Rolling Back Pack Camera Bag
Over the years I have bought numerous bags, cases, back packs, waist packs, pouches and wraps in search of the ultimate camera and equipment carrying solution. I own an extensive collection of LowePro bags and cases, complemented by a few Kata Bags, but only recently discovered Think Tank Photo who this week released what could be the ultimate airline carry-on bag - the new Airport TakeOff™.
This is a rolling case that can be carried like a back pack when the need arises. The back pack straps tuck away so you can start rolling quickly or zipped into the rear panel.
The Airport TakeOff™ is designed to comply with international airline carry-on requirement and accommodates pro-sized photography gear, including two pro or regular size DSLR bodies with or without lenses attached.
Its features include:
“Think Tank Photo raised the bar with the release of our Airport series of rollers and backpacks,” said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank Photo president and lead designer. “We were the first company to design large bags so that they complied with airline carry-on requirements and provided extra security measures. With the Airport TakeOff we’ve taken the best of what we learned in designing those product lines and combined them into a rugged rolling backpack that will help photographers and multimedia shooters safely transport their gear from one location to the next.”

It would be interesting to get hold of one of these bags and do a group test with other comparable products from Lowepro, Kata and Tamrac et al!
