Roller meets INTERNATIONAL and domestic carry on size requirements. Although passengers are rarely asked to put their roller into airline test frames, you will travel with peace of mind knowing that this roller is designed to fit. Shown is the test frame from AIR CANADA. It has also been tested in the frames of BRITISH AIRWAYS, KLM, UNITED, and other major airlines.
Actually the most important feature is that it looks small and is clearly and visually within legal carry on requirements. It does not call out to be questioned by the airlines.
TSA combination lock to secure zipper. There are many instances when photographers must leave behind some or all of their gear. It is absolutely vital that this gear be secured from theft. This is why the Airport International's zippers have a specially built in combination lock.
The front security cable & combination lock allows you to lock a laptop case to the front of the roller. This lock is very effective when you are traveling with a laptop case stored in the front stretch pocket
The rear security cable & combination lock allows it to be locked to immovable objects. This security cable is very effective when it becomes necessary to leave gear for a period of time in a media room, wedding hall, hotel room, or other open area.
The security ID plate may allow your lost or stolen bag to be returned! Before using your bag, register the bag's unique serial number on our website at www.thinktankphoto.com/lostandfound
This roller holds a surprising amount of gear--a complete kit for most photographers. This includes two pro-sized DSLRas , two strobes, two pocket wizards, a 16-35 2.8, a 24-70 2.8, a 70-200 2.8, a 300 2.8, and much more. It is important to note that the cameras can be mounted with or without the lens attached.
Optional Artificial Intelligence 15" or 17" laptop cases slide in front pocket The advantage is that the roller looks smaller, even when the laptop case is inside the pocket. If for some reason you do need to weigh the bag, you can remove the laptop case, making the roller lighter and smaller. Also, when you get to your seat on the plane, you can pull out the laptop case and put it on your seat before putting the roller in the overhead bin.
Optional Low Divider Set. Our optional low divider set lets the lower section be 2 lower than normal, allowing the Artificial Intelligence 15 or the Cable Management 50 to lay on top. Please see the specific product page for the AI Low Divider Set for complete information.
Clear organizer on the inside for essentials. The inside of the lid has organizers to store all the other stuff you need to carry that you donat want lost - like your Pixel Pocket Rocket, press passes, pens, pencils, and much more. The zipper slider heads slide into little ports that cover up the metal so your gear will not be damaged.
Replaceable wheels and protective wheel housings. If you wear out the wheels, Think Tank will provide a free kit so that you can replace the wheels. The wheels being located on the very outside of the bag makes it very stable when rolled. The wheel housings are extra high, to protect your case when going up curbs and stairs.
Front stretch pocket. If you are not using the front stretch pocket to hold a laptop case, it is an excellent pocket to get quick access to jackets, newspapers, paperwork, and other items you need to pull out quickly.
Front Pocket Organizer. The zippered front pocket can be used for storing items like pens, pencils, card wallets, CD?s, notepads, and more.
Business card holder/top pocket. For easy identification, a business card holder is located directly under the handle. It holds quite a few cards. There is also a zippered pocket under the handle that can hold your passport and other items.

"I consider this the best bag on the market period and I have tried a lot of them. It is just the right size for a carry on bag. It has plenty of room to hold two camera bodies and several prime lenses, my flash and accessories. It comes with plenty of dividers to set it up any way you like. There is even room for my Canon 600mm F4 yet it will easily fit under the seat on even the smallest commuter jets. It is very well made and offers plenty of protection for your camera gear. Best of all it looks like regular luggage so no one suspects that I have 30K worth of photo gear in there. look no further just buy this one."

"Amazing. Put two bodies, 200-400, 70-200, 24-120, 2 SB-900 and all the filters, memory, cleaning tools, ipod accessories and cords, etc. required for a two week trip to London then Africa. The bag was excellent in airports around the world fitting into every overhead bin except a 18 seat flight from Joberg to our camp (no bins at all) where it went into cargo. I'm a big fan of Think Tank and this bag exceeded my expectations. As a note - had an Airport Security but that was actually too big for me."

"I've owned this bag for over a year and absolutely love it. I am able to fit an absurd amount of gear in it. I took this bag to Mexico in June 2008 and it was so convenient to roll around and have on the plane with me. The construction of this bag is top notch. The wheels are great. I've put this bag through a lot and it still performs like new, minus some scratches. The wheels do not squeak or make any noise."
