This Tupperware box has dividers and a tray. It holds cables, tools spare batteries, and other small miscellaneous bits and pieces that I can't do without. The lid flap has loads of storage space for cables, CF cards, notebook, business cards, grey card, remote release, etc., etc., etc. I got my new camera case the other day - it's a Think Tank Airport Security roller case. I think it's going to do the job very well for a long time to come! think tank airport security

Just received my brand new ThinkTank Airport Security. I debated long and hard about whether to get this or the Airport Int'l. Boy, I'm glad I got this one as it turns out I need every drop of space. You can read my gear list to see what's in it, but that doesn't include flash battery packs, AA's, extra batteries, chargers, etc. Here's some poor iPhone photos of it! 3 Bodies, 7 lenses, 2 flashes and a Lastolite softbox (the blue bag) IN the case. As I continue to grow a little more, the softbox will be carried separately.

What works

1. Size 2. Wheels and may I point out that they are rollerblade wheels so readily and inexpensively replaceable 3. Plenty of dividers, but not enough smaller dividers. A lot of large ones, though 4. Durability. I think all of their bags are made really well 5. Lots of compartments. Great for all those little items that you need to store. 6. Inside flap is full of CLEAR compartments. Small thing, but really important 7. ALso holds a tripod on the side. Really convenient 8. Great safety features. Locks on the zippers and another locking cable

Room for improvement

1. Size 2. Heavy when filled 3. Pricey, although well worth it in my opinion. (Why can we spend $$$$$ on equipment but don't want to spend $ on our bags!?) 4. Not enough smaller dividers in my opinion

Firstly some important background info. I've got a couple of trips planned this year and I was trying to get my head around a practical solution for carrying a substantial amount of gear with me in one bag. The deciding factor would be its ability to hold a 400mm f/2.8L lens. Ideally it would also be a bag that would have a reasonable chance of staying with me on a flight as carry-on luggage... and, if I was forced to check it in, then it would still offer the kind of protection that the kit needs. It would also need to give me a sense of security. Firstly by not looking too much like a camera bag... and secondly it would have top notch build quality, solid zips and locks etc. I didn't want or need a backpack. I'm not a landscape photographer, so I wouldn't be taking the kit on a hike or lugging it around for prolonged periods of time. My requirement was for something that I could get in and out of sporting venues with reasonable ease - ideally a roller, but with carrying options as well. I wanted integrated wheels so that I wouldn't have to carry separate ones. I didn't want straps/flaps and any other dangling nasties that could drag in the mud Less is more. One bag to hold plenty of kit. Rolling. Carrying. Safe and secure. So, after a couple of months of research, I arrived at this product: The Think Tank Airport Security. I took delivery of it today. The depth of the bag is a huge plus. It will hold the 70-200 vertically as well as accommodating the 400mm's sizeable lens hood. There is a small raised section in the base of the bag which allows for the handle - but there should still be room for another reasonably long lens to be positioned vertically if needed. The padding is excellent. This isn't a completely rigid bag but the padding around the sides and base is around 1 inch thick. There is slightly less padding on the top but enough nevertheless.
