Airport Acceleration Configurations This backpack can hold a complete SLR system, with a maximum lens size of a 500mm f4, and with Pro size SLR’s. It comes with many dividers so the interior can be configured any way you like. Maximum Capacity with a 300 2.8 lens. This backpack will hold a complete kit very easily. This photo is with a “news” set up (photojournalism) with two Pro Size DSLR’s , two strobes, 16-35 2.8, 24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 300 2.8, 85 1.8, a Pixel Pocket Rocket, AA battery charger, batteries, etc. It is important to note that the cameras can be mounted with or without the lens attached, as this picture shows. When you receive the backpack, remove all the dividers and start from scratch. That is the easiest way to create a custom fit. Holding an SLR system plus Other Stuff This photo shows a smaller system which gives room to spare for other items. In this photo, in addition to one SLR, four lenses, and one teleconverter, is the battery charger, a AA battery charger, a Modulus Pouch with a point and shoot camera, binoculars (located at lower center in the silver case), raincover, Pixel Pocket Rocket, Mini Mag Lite, etc. For photographers with 3-4 lenses, there would also be room for a lightweight jacket and other essentials. Shown with a 400 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 lens. Although this photo shows a 400 2.8, it can be configured to hold a 500 f4. This is a typical set up for a sports photographer – two DSLR’s, a 400 2.8, 70 – 200 2.8, 16-35 2.8, batteries, a teleconverter, and other accessories. You can see in the photo there is room to spare that could be used for our Modulus system (Pro Speed Belt and some Modulus pouches). Shown packed with Modulus Components. It is becoming popular to rip out all the dividers in backpacks, and simply arrange Modulus components inside. The reason for this is that the backpack is for storage and transportation, and the Modulus system is for when you’re actually shooting. Also some photographers prefer not having to deal with all the dividers. This photo has the same amount of gear as two pictures above. Shown with Airport Intelligence 15 INSIDE. This photo shows the laptop case lying on top of the Modulus components as shown in the picture above. The advantage to this is that it reduces the overall size of the bag by having it inside. This creates the perception of a smaller backpack, which may help accelerate you through the airport. Otherwise the space that is created can be used for jackets, rain pants, and other essentials. The inside front pocket filled with STUFF. The inside of the backpack has two clear PU pockets so that you can see everything inside. This photo shows a Lexar CF card reader, Ethernet cable, Headlamp, two small electrical converters, small portable mouse, iPod, ear buds, extra battery for a point and shoot camera, two energy bars, aspirin, two SLR batteries, Carmex lip balm, and Tums for the tummy. That’s a lot in those two pockets! Think about the Airport Check In briefcase. You should seriously think about using the Airport Check In briefcase with this backpack. This is a great combination. All of your photo equipment can be in the backpack, and you can weigh it to make sure it is the proper carry on weight. The briefcase can be filled with your laptop, cords, cables, batteries, and all the other stuff that is required. This balances the weight between two carry on pieces of luggage. It is also very professional looking, and does not look like traditional camera bags or backpacks, which is clearly an advantage.
