Traveling sports photogs...

What bag/case do you carry your equipment in?

I travel with a small college football team. Some trips on bus. Some on planes.

Planning to carry a fair amount of equipment. Love something that can carry on the plane for those trips (rather than going in the cargo hold).

Looking to carry a 1D2n, 1D2, 100-400, 70-200, 24-70, 15mm, flash , monopod, stroboframe and accessories. Would love room for a small packable rainsuit.

Any suggestions?

Peli 1510 meets airline size requirements for carry on luggage but weight may be an issue depending on the airline. Theres a soft case ThinkTank equilavent but cant remember the model number.

I have the 1510 and pack it with 1Dmk3,40D,Canon 70-200, Sigma 300mm, Sigma 17-70, 430ex flash, and a few other bits and pieces. Its a tight squeeze but I only travel by car (around Ireland) so it suits my needs.

I carry 3 bodies(mk2n,mk4, and 40d) with my 70-200 2.8 is, 300 2.8 is, 16-35, 85, and 50. Monopod 2, flashes , batteries, chargers for each type of batteries, laptop, and more in my thinktank airport security v2. Never had problems on flights flying cross country.

I should add that pretty much everything in my gear list is in that bag, except for the bees.

An old Billingham. Never had any problems, apart from shoulder!

Think Tank Airport Security V2...has everything I own in it basically.

In my case I picked the Peli over the ThinkTank as, along with holding my gear, it doubles up as a seat when I'm shooting

I have a pelican 1620 that works well too...prefer using the Think Tank Security but If Im worried about weather or security I opt for the pelican...and your right its a great seat to get low laying flat, a great step to stand on to get over a crowd and a nice seat with the handle when upright.

Same here, but I'm Kevin, not Jeff.

I do have a Pelican, but have yet to switch gear over into it for anything. If there is a driving rain and I have to bring all my kit to my side, then I'll probably put it all in the Peli.
