I finally organized the Think Tank International.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3237/...5fae0fc047.jpg

All options of accessories fit. Batteries, chargers, filters, manuals, cords, but weighs maybe by guessing about 55 lbs.

If I need to, there is a large stretch pocket on the outside front panel where I can insert the PowerBook.

The only items not in this case are the 30D, and 17-55f2.8 which reside in sling bag with lens hoods stacked.
I need to add image of it packed.

Thanks for remaking it! I fell off the forum for a bit, and could not keep up.

No wories, I'm back on the forum wagon again. It's much less bumpy than some wagons people get on!

It looks like The_Camera_Poser's Tamrac Adventure 8 photos are no longer there. Perhaps he/she might update them? Same thing with tdodd's ThinkTank Airport Acceleration review.

Default Re: Camera Bag Reviews - The Complete List

does anyone have a recommendation for a good camera/laptop rolling bag? I am looking at the Think Thank Airport Airstream... I'm a total bag-a-holic...and have WAY too many camera bags.. but so far, none have fit all of my needs. I got the naneu pro roller.. but it ended up being too heavy for an international flight...I had to offload all extraneous items & remove the whole camera insert just to get the bag to weigh in!... I like that the Airstream fits under the seat... and in the overhead...and that the laptop can be easily & quickly removed from the front... Does anyone else have any thoughts on this bag or any other rolling camera/laptop bag?

Hey Snails, thank you thank you thank you! This is great!
I just noticed that there is no Lowepro Stealth Reporter bag review - maybe I'll write one soon.
Well done. Thanks again.

OMG! That's impressive.
Could you please post a photo of the Think Tank International with the items packed? Thanks. I'm thinking of getting one after having seen your photo!
