I love this bag. It is big enough internally to fit all my major equipment and have it accessible any time. Almost nothing is buried (except the 2x converter under the 50mm 1.8) and I can therefore see if anything is missing from the bag, pre-assignment. I have configured it for having each of my two major lenses mounted on a body so start up and pack up are just a matter of attaching or detaching a flash. There is even space for my old Metz 45. It comes with so many insert pieces that make it eternally customisable and they are fully velcro appliant so that other partition pieces may be attached to any part of them. My only complaint is the size of the accessory pockets which could be a bit deeper. Best of all externally it looks like any ol' luggage filled with the laundry from a trip.

What works

Roominess, inserts, customisable, protective, quality

Room for improvement

accessory pockets shallow.

Knowing what a hot potato the whole hand luggage scenario is at the present time and what a hot and often wet place the rainforest can be, I decided to treat myself pre-trip to an Airport International. This was the only bag I could find that would fit 2 bulky L series telephoto lenses, 2 DSLR bodies and all the other photo-gear together - it also ensured that ALL of my equipment was with me as carry-on. (Note: BA do not weigh hand luggage). The bag is well made and comes with plenty of dividers, most of which were left at home as less dividers means room for more equipment! After a couple of hours I managed to configure the equipment so that I could just get everything in and do the zip up without having to sit on it.

What works

Very sturdy, made from a virtually tear-proof material and with reinforced corners, stays and wheel housings. Most importantly it does not look like a camera bag and looks no different to any other small carry on wheeled case. It is obvious that this bag was designed by photographers for photographers as it does exactly what it says on the tin!

Room for improvement

The telescopic handle felt a bit flimsy and could be made of a more rigid metal. I have also managed to jack-knife the bag a few times when pulling it around corners on very shiny airport floors

The best rolling bag out there when it comes to smooth rolling. Takes a lot of gear. Lock, Wires, handles both on top and on side.

What works

Good smooth wheels! Great for fragile equipment.

Room for improvement

I would like a zipper on the front pouch so I could safely put my lap top there.
