news_1_156_large.JPG I published an article recently that talks about Flying With Your Photo Gears - Carry-on luggage restrictions. Being able to travel through airports with the least amount of hassle is of utmost importance to photographers. These are some airport travel camera bags from Think Tank that’s specially designed for photogrphers, these new bags provide photographers with a complete menu of options for complying with airline requirements for bag size and weight, as well as the maximum number of bags allowed they can carry onto the plane:

• The Airport Check In is a briefcase that holds all the accessories, cords and cables a photographer must carry, and it will hold up to a 17” laptop. It can be attached to a roller handle by sliding the briefcase slot over the handle or worn as a backpack with the shoulder harness that is supplied.
• The Airport Antidote backpack fits all international carry on size requirements. With the laptop case removed, it will fit in the small overhead bins of “commuter flights.” It is designed to hold pro-size SLR cameras and up to a 400mm f4 lens (without the body attached).
• The Airport Acceleration backpack fits all international carry on size requirements when the laptop case is removed. It is designed to hold pro-size SLR cameras and up to a 500mm f4 lens (without the body attached). In addition it has “tuck away” shoulder straps and a removable waistbelt, as well as a seam-sealed raincover and a tripod/ monopod attachment system.

• The Glass Taxi is a convertible shoulder bag/backpack that holds up to a 500mm f4 lens, 300mm f2.8 lens with SLR attached, or SLR with 70-200 attached with hood in position. It is a very compact and lightweight method of transporting such large lenses. Since it “looks” small, it is ideal for traveling through airports with large lenses to facilitate getting on the plane.
