think tank on the way!

Airport Roller Derby…to be specific.

i asked think tank for a sample of this bag to see what all the fuss about these bigger gear haulers for travellers is all about.
it should be here in a couple of weeks…

Sadly my children have grown too much (16 & 18) for me to make use of it now.

It does look interesting as a traveling systems case though.

i have sold most of my bags…this unemployed thing is getting old…

most of the bags that i get for review are usually given away as prizes…

but to answer your question…i have 7 bags and a couple of little ones for if i ever get a pocket camera again...

Joe, if all else fails, you could live in it.

You used to carry your children in a camera bag 😱

an update…
the bag arrived and it's a looker!
incredibly well made.
initial impressions…i love the wheels, very smooth and easy to push or pull along with you while walking.
the zippers are easy glide as well.

for something different, i gave the bag to a friend who will be travelling to and around the south of france for 3 weeks with his wife and bunch of dslr gear. when he returns i plan on interviewing him to gain his perspective on the bag. i have asked him to pay particular attention to the things he likes and dislikes about using it.
on his last trip he bought a backpack camera bag and didn't really care for it so i think it might be interesting to see if this style bag offers more than the backpack.

for myself with such limited gear…i could pack all my kit plus enough clothes for a weekend trip into the bag...and i just might try that eventually.

I use a Pelican 1510 roller with dividers and lid pockets for my DSLRS when traveling.Fits in the overhead nicely and never has to be checked.
