I
recently traveled to Dubai with my friend
Ben
Wilmore
and as I lugged my beloved
Lowe Pro Trekker backpack loaded with cameras and carried a
briefcase through the airports, I watched Ben casually rolling
his
Think Tank Photo Airport roller case. As I asked about it,
he showed me this wonderful camera case. First, it holds a lot
of gear AND the laptop. My Photo Trekker carries the laptop as
well...but on my back. The Lowe Pro is an amazing camera
backpack and when I am wandering the wilds there is no better
choice in my opinion, but for air travel I have formed a new
opinion and am ordering the Think Tank camera case for air
travel.
Here is the seller in my opinion: you can lock the zippers to
prevent opening the case. Of course you can do that with other
cases, but this case comes with a security cable and lock that
is built into the case to secure the laptop and another cable
hooked to the frame that allows you to secure the case to any
object.
While travelling with Ben we visited an airport lounge and he
cabled it right to the chair before we went to get some food. He
also mentioned that he has secured it to the toilet if he needs
to leave the room for long. Here's a horror story: A friend I
will leave nameless was teaching a workshop in Miami's South
Beach. When the group was done shooting, they returned to their
rooms and dropped gear before meeting for dinner. Upon returning
to his room after dinner, my instructor friends camera bag and
laptop were missing
from
the room. The room had not been broken into, rather someone let
them in.
Hmmm.
I contacted Think Tank
Photo and told them I would be blogging about the bag and
they gave me a discount code. If you want any of the gear and it
is over $50 purchase price, use this code
WS-151
and they will throw in another small bag of your choice. Camera
security...priceless! |
