Think Tank Photo -
Camera and Computer bag solutions for traveling
photographers
In the good old days (twenty plus years ago) it used
to be pretty easy to say, "I'm a professional photographer" and
literally
get away with hundreds of pounds of camera gear (sometimes at no extra
cost) when checking in at almost any airport. Well those days are over
and now you have to be very clever about how you go about getting your
valuable camera and computer gear on the plane. But as my Chinese
friends like to say, "every problem is an opportunity to start a new
business". Think Tank Photo has taken on the task of providing
photographers who carry a lot of gear with solutions, both for shooting
in the field and carrying the equipment while traveling.
Think Tank - Airport Acceleration -
legal carry on backpack
The image above is of the
Airport Acceleration which as you can see can hold a complete camera
kit very easily and still meets the legal carry on requirements of
almost all International Airlines (I say almost all because you never
know what kind of screwball rule some of the airlines will come up with
next).
Internal Dimensions: 17.75" H x 12.375" W x 6.75" D (45 cm x
31.5 cm x 17 cm)
External Dimensions: 18.5" H x 13" W x 7" D (47 cm x 33 cm x
18 cm) (with laptop case inserted: 9" D/22.5 cm)
Weight: 3 lbs 5 oz to 7 lbs
(depends upon accessories used)
In the image above the
laptop case is in the pouch. The Airport Acceleration Backpack
comes with a 15" laptop bag, but a 17" laptop bag is available (the
Artificial Intelligence 17") and will fit into the same pouch.
The US Retail price of the Airport Acceleration is $ 279.00

Think Tank - Change Up - a belt pack
that easily turns into a shoulder bag or an adjustable chest positioned
bag with harness (supplied)
Modulus
System
This is an incredible bag
for a traveling photographer because it can be converted easily for a
number uses and takes up almost no room in your luggage. I don't think
I could have designed a better bag myself. The belt is also ready to
accept any of the Modulus System bags that are made for the Think Tank
Pro Speed Belt.

23 cm)

cm x 24 cm)
