Anybody here use the Think Tank Airport Security 2.0 Bag?

Just ordered this because the rolling camera bag I use to transport my gear is barely hanging on by the seams and it's a little too small to carry all my cameras and lenses. I end up putting 3 lenses in my Think Thank Lens Changer 3.

What sold me on this bag was that I can store the 70-200 f2.8 IS MKII vertically. The same goes for the 200L f2 IS I should be getting in the mail in a few days. Same with the speedlights. This should be a huge space saver. I sold a bunch of lenses I wasn't using last year (Down to 7 lenses. Hahaha!) so I am hoping I can fit everything in except my lighting gear in this thing.

Anyone using this bag? It's Think Tank so I know the quality will be there. Just want to get more opinions, although I already bought the bag!

I think that is the one I have and I love it. Getting the 200 again? Awesome!

Yep, awesome bag. Huge capacity but doesn't seem that big, easy to use, lots of pockets and dividers. Best bag ever.

Cool Tim and Bryan. Sounds like I made a good decision buying this thing!

Nicksan, I applaud your downsizing, but I can't believe you sold the 24L. You did good work with that thing!

Also, let us know how you like that bag.

The last few weddings I did, the 24L stayed in the bag and I usually end up using that lens for detail shots so I felt it was expendable, especially since I added the Sigma 35 and I am now beginning to feel 35mm is far more versatile. (Bought and sold the 35L 3 times. I think I'm sticking with the 35mm prime this time around! )

I scratched the TSE itch with the 45. I never use the 135L. The only lens I had reservations about selling was the 8-15L. It was a fun lens. But in the end I felt it was an absolutely necessary lens.

The 200L f2 IS, obviously, is a serious investment and I'll be honest and say it was a "want" more than a "need". But I've lusted for that lens ever since I sold it when I switched to Nikon for a year. I somehow knew I would be reunited with it. It's THAT good. But I'll be using my 70-200 more. That's just a reality. I'll bring it along on weddings. 200mm f2 certainly gives a unique look.

Anyways, I will let you know what I think of the bag when I get it and fit everything in.

See, I love that you can store the 70-200 vertically. I think that's AWESOME. That's the f2.8 version right? Same goes for the speedlights. AWESOME!!!

yeah. the 2.8 non-IS.

downside is that it wont fit in the overhead of commuter planes. so i had to buy a think tank airport commuter backpack when i had to fly to hawaii for a wedding last month. fully loaded, it's a bit too heavy. but the built in locks are amazing.

Yeah, I've already got the airport antidote which fits a good amount of gear. That's what I brought with me to Japan last year to shoot a relative's wedding.

yeah, then you'll love this bag. it's not perfect for every occasion but this bag plus a lens changer is amazing for weddings. gets locked and cable locked to my car before we get to the wedding. gets cable locked at the venue. no longer do i have to worry about my bag walking off.

Yeah, that's kinda nice, especially with the 200L in there!
Looking forward to it!
