What do you do when your Airport International is just too big to lug around for a small shoot but your ShapeShifter bag won’t carry enough gear? Think Tank Photo has answered this question with the new Airport TakeOff camera bag.

Thank Tank Photo’s designers have invested a great deal of creative and engineering time into developing our backpacks and rollers.  And, as might be expected, photographers have asked “couldn’t you create one bag that serves both purposes?”  In response, Think Tank Photo just released a new concept in rolling camera backpacks, the Airport TakeOff™.

The key is that with most rolling backpacks you have to zip up the cover every time you’re not using the backpack straps.  This means that there is no way to roll it with the shoulder straps out.  You could, but the straps will drag on the ground.  So with the Airport TakeOff you can simply tuck the bottom of the straps under the bottom pads and roll. This is really the product’s key functional invention.

The Airport TakeOff™.  It is designed as a transportation solution that combines the portability of a backpack with the ease of a rolling suitcase.  Converting it to and from a rolling camera bag to a comfortable backpack is so easy because the straps can be simply tucked away to start rolling immediately, or, they can be completely zipped inside the rear panel.

Designed to comply with international airline carry-on requirements, the Airport TakeOff accommodates pro-sized photography gear, including two pro or regular size DSLR bodies with or without lenses attached.  Its features include:

• Holds up to a 300mm f/2.8 and other assorted lenses
• Quickly deployable and concealable backpack straps
• Front cable and lock to secure laptops
• Lockable zipper sliders
• Transports tripods or monopods easily
• Adjustable sternum straps for tailored usage
• Holds Think Tank’s Artificial Intelligence 15 protective laptop case
