Later this month Think Tank Photo will release the Airport™ series, a new line of travel-specific, high-capacity camera backpacks designed with quick maneuvering through airports in mind.
The three backpacks -- the Airport Accelerator, Airport Commuter, and Airport Essentials -- integrate quick access pockets for both laptops and iPad, a top pocket for boarding passes, and three robust handles to ensure easy placement and retrieval from overhead bins.
The Airport™ series makes life easier for the traveling photographer. All meet international carry on size requirements. The two smaller bags, the Airport Commuter and the Airport Essentials, are designed to fit under-seat in regional commuter planes.
Adding even more functionality, these backpacks can be used with Think Tank's Pro Speed Belts for additional support and capacity by adding component pouches and cases from the company's Modular Rotation Component System. Other features include:
- Bottom hinge opens bag completely for quick and unencumbered access.
- Cable lock and locking YKK zipper sliders for added security.
- Laptop and iPad stored in a separate locking zippered compartment.
- Light, comfortable and contoured harness system.
- Tripod/monopod mounting system.
- Top zippered pocket for boarding pass.
- Removable waist belt for additional stability when walking, running, etc.
- Easily accessible front organizer pocket.
- Seam sealed rain cover included.
