I need one bag and one Batman Belt, one to hold a Laptop, Camera and lens,
the second one just a Camera and lens.... here are some of the options.
I would like to know what you have a Think Tank and why you like it?
Back Back or a
Pixel Racing Harness or
Pro Speed Belt or a
Pro Modulus Speed Set or not Pro?
Thanks,
LeaL

I have the Airport Security because it holds all the gear I'd ever need.
I have the Urban Disguise 30 because it holds what I need for a shoot.
I have the Urban Disguise 50 because it holds what I need when I travel.
I have the Artificial Intelligence 15 because my laptop needs a nice home when I travel.
Not sure if that helps you... | | | |

I've got the digital holster 50 and harness. Holds my D300 with grip and 70-200 or 24-70 for walk-abouts. I want the airport security, but haven't gotten it yet. | | | |

Leal, I've got several of their bags and the belt. If you can settle on the type of bag you need, all of their stuff is well designed and top notch. | | | |

I have the Thinktank Airport Antidote.
It has travelled around the world a few times... not to mention hit most of the major airports in this country and has held up extremely well given the miles it has travelled with me.
The bag is designed very well and the fact that it can hold 3 SLR's with 3 zoom lenses covering 14mm-200mm and have room to hold a flash unit and two additional prime lenses along with the battery charger and a few batteries is a big plus for me.
The backpack shoulder straps are quite comfortable and you can walk around with it for a good 2-3 hours and not feel too fatigued.
The quality/finish is there.... something I simply can not say about the Lowepro line or several other bags. The only other backpack that comes close is the Tamrac, but it just feels too bulky (outside dimensions) in comparison.
As far as I am concerned, if I ever need to replace this backpack, it will be with another Thinktank.... just hope their quality standards hold up over time.
Just find the one that suits your needs and you will not be regret getting a thinktank. Just wish more camera shops carried them. | | | |

I like my Speed Belt, Speed Changer, and lens pouches...I just wish my belt was smaller...or I was a little bigger in the waist! | | | |

I use the Airport Security. Holds most everything (minus my 300)...Built great and I just can't say enough good things about it...
For my smaller gig bag, I use the Urban Disguise 60... Holds much more than you'd think...including my 300 F2.8, 2 bodies, flash, extra lenses, Macbook Pro, etc.. I would like to get the shoulder harness for it, but just haven't made it over to pick it up. Great bag to take on vacation, fits under airline seat and has all kinds of hidden compartments as well.

I know Think Tank makes great products so I took all my gear to the local camera shop but couldn't find one that would hold everything including the 17" screen laptop. I went with this roller by Pelican. I can get eveything in there except the 400mm and I don't have to carry it all on my back. | | | |

I do love my Airport Addicted.
While I was working with United Airlines and during my time in the Army my gear always traveled with me.
This bag will hold so much stuff (up to a 400 f2.8) and you can still throw it on your back....or maybe it throws you on its back. Either way it is great.
I never once had a problem at airport security anywhere throughout the world.

When I have more than I can put in my Airport Security, I'll use the Disguise as well and place similarly as shown with that product.
I have a few Pelican cases, but mine are the hard ones that are not carry on friendly. Used them a lot with my video gear. They make good stuff...Albeit, typically overpriced at local stores (ie, Don't buy from Frys and the like.. LOL) | | | |
