9/24/2009 – Think Tank Photo announces the release of a new standard in rolling camera backpacks, the Airport TakeOff™. It is designed as a transportation solution that combines the portability of a backpack with the ease of a rolling suitcase.

they can be completely zipped inside the rear panel.

- Holds up to a 300mm f/2.8 and other assorted lenses

“We raised the bar with the release of our Airport series of rollers and backpacks,” said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank Photo president and lead designer. “We were the first company to design large bags so that they complied with airline carry-on requirements and provided extra security measures. With the Airport TakeOff we’ve taken the best of what we learned in designing those product lines and combined them into a rugged rolling backpack that will help photographers and multimedia shooters safely transport their gear from one location to the next.”
