Review on Think Tank Photo Airport Advantage 005534 - Durable, Stylish Black Bag For Travelers! by Jun Alves

Revainrating 5 out of 5

PERFECT PHOTO ROLLING CARRY-ON!

As I age I find it harder to lug even 20 lbs of gear when rushing through airport and train terminals. I check-in the clothes but like most photographers I'm not letting my gear out of my sight. I have a number of Think Tank bags (Speed Series and Retrospectve 7) and accessories. They're all great products but my upcoming trip calls for 8 tranfers between planes, boats, and trains so I wanted something with wheels. This little gem arrived today and I couldn't be happier. It looks smaller than reported (but isn't). The quality is Think Tank Tough. The custom handle does not take up space in the bottom half of the case but cleverly folds into itself. The wheels are robust and quiet.! Padding is high tech. There's a diagram demonstrating how to properly use the included rain cover. Two things that would make it even better woulds be a zippered pouch on the inside of the lap top cover for passports, tickets, etc, and a sleeve on the back to allow this bag to slip over the handle of a larger bag. If it zipped on the bottom like an REI roller I own, it could also be used for maps, etc. I haven't used it yet but I'm confident it will be as good as all my other Think Tank products. I packed it today and It easily holds my Fuji X-T2, 35mm, 16-55, 50-140, power grip and charger, and the usual misc extras with room left over. Based on other reviews and my own flight experiences I'm pretty sure this will tuck in beneath the airplane seat. Worst case, it will easily fit up above.Just returned fron the trip I mentioned above. The roller performed flawlessly. Fit under the seat of both large and regional planes, as well as under the seat of Via Canada train (business class). Definitely a keeper!

Pros
  • Awesome for traveling
Cons
  • May attract unwanted attention due to its high value

This carried my 1DX, 70-200 2.8L, 16-35 2.8L, 24-70 2.8L, 100 Macro, 2 polarizing filters, spare battery and charger with out crowding the equipment. Very robust wheels and easy rolling. Also had my large iPad in the big pocket on front. Easily fit in overhead compartments of all the planes we were on. Well built and a great piece.
