Features:
Feature #1 At 14" x 22" x 9", the Airport Security roller meets USA domestic airlines’ carry-on size requirements. It fits easily into overhead compartments either straight in or horizontally.  On smaller commuter or regional aircraft, 14" x 22" x 9" is still the legal carry-on size, but the Airport Security may need to be gate-checked due to limited storage space inside the airplane.  Check out these free articles about traveling with photo equipment written by Doug Murdoch.
Feature #2 A TSA combination lock secures the main compartment zipper.  There are many instances when photographers must leave behind some or all of their gear while on location. It is absolutely vital for the remaining gear to be secured from theft.  The rear security cable prevents the entire bag from being stolen altogether when the cable is locked around an immovable object.
Feature #4 The rear security cable chains the Airport Security V2.0 to immovable objects.  This cable is built into the framework of the rolling bag.  At times, it may be necessary to leave gear for a period of time in a media room, wedding hall, hotel room, or other open area.  Locking the bag's main compartment, then locking the rear security cable to a fixed object can prevent the bag and its contents from being easily stolen.  A small TSA travel padlock is included for convenience but any padlock is compatible with the cable.
Feature #3 The front security cable and integrated combination lock fastens an Artificial Intelligence 15 V2.0 or Artificial Intelligence 17 V2.0 laptop case inside the stretchable front pocket of the roller. This cable and lock reduce the chances of computer theft while the bag is being rolled from one location to another. To completely conceal the laptop from view and for best security, use the Airport Security Low Divider Set to carry the laptop inside the main compartment and locked up with the primary TSA combination lock.
Feature #5 The security plate may allow your lost or stolen bag to be returned! Before using your bag, register your unique serial number on our website at www.thinktankphoto.com/lostandfound_registration.aspx
Feature #6 Holds a full DSLR kit.  Our patent pending rolling bag design creates a very deep bottom section—so deep you can put in a 70-200 f2.8 straight up and down in the bag.  A 400 f/2.8, 500 f/4, or a Canon 600 f/4lens (not Nikon) can also fit with hood reversed and the leather lens cap on. Because of this unique design, more gear can be carried in the Airport Security as compared to other brands.  (Photo courtesy of Brad Mangin)
Feature #7 If you wear out the wheels, we provide a free kit so you can replace the wheels. The wheels, being located on the outside of the bag, make it very stable when rolled. The wheel housings are extra high, to protect your case when going up curbs.
Feature #8 Emergency shoulder straps.  There are circumstances, such as stairs and gravel, when a roller does not work. That’s precisely why we include “emergency” shoulder straps. Although this roller is not intended to be used regularly as a backpack, the straps are there just in case. They are removable, allowing you to store them in the main compartment.
Feature #9 Monopod And Tripod Holder.  Both monopods and tripods can be attached two different ways, either by putting two legs into the stretchable pocket or by using the Tripod Cup that comes with the roller (pictured).
Feature #10 A seam-sealed, waterproof rain cover (like an outdoor jacket) is included. An expandable section fits over a tripod when one is attached to the bag.
Feature #11 Optional Artificial Intelligence 15 & 17 laptop cases slide in front pocket. The advantage is that the roller looks smaller, even when the laptop case is inside the pocket. If for some reason you do need to weigh the bag, you can remove the laptop case, making the roller lighter and smaller. Also, when you get to your seat on the plane, you can pull out the laptop case and put it on your seat before putting the roller in the overhead bin.
Feature #12 Front Pocket Organizer The zippered front pocket can be used for storing items like pens, pencils, card wallets, notepads, and more.
Feature #13 For easy identification, a business card holder is located directly under the handle. It holds quite a few cards. There is also a zippered pocket under the handle that can hold your passport and other items.
Feature #14 The Airport Security Low Divider set can be used in place of the standard dividers. These low dividers will allow up to 17” laptops to fit inside the Airport Security.

Christmas in September? Perhaps. But I just got back from a trip to find a cardboard box full of glory waiting for me by the front door. What was inside has left me virtually speechless. The urge to rest on cliche when describing the Airport Security Roller 2.0 is great. Cliches are easier to formulate, which is very important when your virtual lexicon, dictionary and thesaurus between your ears goes spontaneously blank. Forget the build quality. This bag is a tank and something I will hand down to my children. Otherwise they are prying it from my hands. Seriously, the attention that went into putting this roller together is flat out insane. But it is the design touches that impress me the most. The locks, the tripod lashes, ea

This is the premier rolling case for Wedding shooters. I have been using these since V1 was brand new and have been totally satisfied since day one. The V2 case is totally dialed in for the needs of a pro location shooter. Both of my cases have been worked hard for years now and they just keep rolling along as they did on day one. Think Tank makes the best camera bags out there!

I purchased the rolling bag for a 10 day trip to Europe. It helped me through the airports and treks to the hotels and shoots. Now I find my self using the bag everywhere I go to hold all my equipment. This bag is a back saver and a great addition for my equipment. I highly recommend this bag as necessary equipment.

I do airtravel at least 2-4 times a month out of Beijing, and getting in and out of airports is really a breeze with this bag. I squeeze in lots and lots of stuff, and not once have I been asked by customs officials if there is any weight issue because I look like one with the business crowd. One of the bugs I have about the bag is the built of the handle, and my assistants once lifted it by the handle and it just doesn't handle as smooth since. Otherwise, it is a great backsaver and I would still purchase it despite the handle

I use this roller together with the Airport check in. I travel about 10 times a year internationally. I LOVE this product, it's comfortable and can hold tons of equipment. The security cable is very useful. The only problem with it is that my shiatsu therapist do not make any money on me after I started using it instead of a backpack... Highly recommended!

I travel everyday by aircraft to someplace, I've been looking for a carry-on that was well protected and I could carry my 5DII, a couple of lens, a flash, a light meter and the usual odds n ends, and still have enough room for a change of clothes and toiletries... I like to travel light. I've tried all the side loading backpacks with the triangular tops, wheeled suitcases etc. but nothing really worked. It was either too small to carry anything, too large to fit the overhead or offered zero protection for the contents! Then I found Think Tank and their Airport-Security V2... It is everything I wanted and then some. The hook n loop panels allow me to adjust my load. I can carry more clothes and less camera or more camera less clothes!

I used the Airport Security 2.0 on my trip to Africa and was quite concerned with the international travel. The bag was easily accepted on every plane and fit in all over head compartments. The quality is unsurpassed and the customer service is the best that I have encountered in years. A big thanks to Daniel.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR PRODUCTS!!!!!

Excellent product. With the optional low-divider set, the bag can be configured in numerous ways to hold, organize, and protect your camera gear and laptop. The design and construction are superb and if the need ever arose, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again.

I purchased this on a recent trip to the US as a replacement for an aging and battle scarred Tamrac Roller. Having used it on several shoots my main 2 gripes are with the way the lid opens and "hinges" on the short edge. As there are no stays it means the lid is lying on the ground gathering dirt etc. Also with the lid open fully, the zippered pockets would be better off the other way up as opening them usually ends up with small items spilling onto the floor. My major concern is that the case does not offer enough protection for those situations where you have to gate check it at an airport because its too big to go onboard. On the return trip to the UK, I had to take a plane from Ohio to Chicago and had to gate check it. When I got it back in Chicago the top lcd on a 1d mk4 was cracked and an 85L lens destroyed :-( I've had to gate check the Tamrac numerous times and never had a problem - I'm just sorry I dropped it in the trash when I bought the TT :-( For the record, I'm not blaming ThinkTank as it was my choice to have it go into the hold.

This is the standard. I don't go anywhere without this case. Either rolling or as a backpack! Peter Holcombe http://www.holcombephotography.com/

I am an underwater photographer, and this is unquestionably the best carry on bag I have owned. Camera, housing, strobes, sync cables, cleaning gear, and three lenses all fit. The V 2.0 has stood up to the requisite security searches in Oman, Dubai, Hawaii, Bahamas, Ecuador, Miami, and Seattle. Superbly designed product! Dan Clements www.e-clements.com

The craftsmanship of this bag is second-to-none! While I do not believe it is perfect (yet), V2 is just about there. Never before have I been impressed by a camera bag... until now. There are a few tiny gripes but it's just a personal opinion so I'll save those for suggestions directly to ThinkTank. I do not think I will purchase any new bags unless they're made by ThinkTank.

I purchased my Airport Security V2.0 a few months ago at the recommendations of MANY friends. I simply could not be happier. The bag is lightweight, but tough, and the perfect bag for a wedding photographer. I love all of the security features, the convenience, the pockets, everything! Definitely one of my best investments yet.

Well I got to give this rolling camera case 5 stars although I just got it and have only used it on a couple of jobs. Where do I begin? I guess that it's a Think Tank product and everything about it is so well thought out with such great attention to detail. It fits everything I need on me daily shoots and as a working photog. it's great to have everything with you and know that I can put it overhead if needed. At first I was worried it might not fit everything but after using the endless dividers supplied it fits so much and so well. The added features are also wonderful and that's where I found it to surpass it's rivals. So if you need a great professional rolling case that can actually turn into a backpack (though it would be way too heavy for a real hike) go for the Airport Security... It's simply the best in it's class.

The reason for the 3 stars is due to the way the flap or lid opens. Any wedding photographer know that we are given so little space to work at a venue and we have to put our bag parallel to a wall in a corner somewhere. With the flap opening on the short side it is far less useful than if the bag opened on the long side therefore opening towards the wall so that we can put our cameras to the right or left of the bag when changing lenses. With the bags current lid opening, it's a constant annoyance.

The only issue I have with this bag is the lid opening direction (and insufficient padding for the lid) as noted by other reviewers. I just got back from a 15 day China photography tour and I packed 1 Hasselblad H1 with CF II 39MP back and 50-110mm zoom lens attached. Second camera was Nikon D3x with 24-70mm F2.8 lens attached and finally a D700 with 85mm F1.4 attached. I always travel with my camera's ready to shoot. In the bag also a Nikon 70-200mm F2.8 VR and Hasselblad HC 150N lens stacked on end. It's a bit of a push for the Nikon 70-200mm with the lens shade but I used an older "flat" lens cap to save about 3/16" of height. There was still sufficient room for all chargers, spare batteries, memory cards, filters and cables. The full 45lbs made it safely across the Pacific and on 3 domestic flights in the overhead compartments, perfect fit on all planes ... the weight exceeded by far the 11lbs domestic China flights limit ;-) I also carried the Urban Disguise 60 onboard for my computer, iPad, power adaptors, Nikon D7000 with 24-120mm F4.0 lens attached, Nikon P7000 in pouch and my hard drives. Not a single question asked in any boarding situation on the 5 flights. The lid of this bag could use a redesign, more padding needed (I pad the outside pocket ... ) and the opening should be lengthwise as the TSA lock suggests ... I did use the backpack straps on this trip and they are not comfortable for long treks (2 hours+) on steep terrain. The straps will cut into your shoulder but in a pinch, they will do. Not a real complaint as these straps were not designed for long backpack use anyhow as I understand it. Rudi A www.amedeusphoto.com

WOW! This bag hold a TON of gear. I shoot wedding films with a DSLR, and this is just a priceless bag. I can carry 2 bodies (5d mk2 and 7d), 6 lenses including some primes, and zooms including a 70-200 2.8, audio equipment (2 shotgun mics, 2 wireless sets, and a portable audio recorder), batteries, chargers, and various little extras. Simply amazing how much this bag will hold. My only gripe is the handle seems a little flimsy. You definitely shouldn't pick up the bag by this handle even for a second. Also, not sure if this is really a con but the bag gets pretty heavy when you pack it full of gear! Mine weighs around 40lb, which is pretty close to the weight limit on some airlines.

Superior construction? Check. Big capacity? Check. Plenty of useful features? Check. Like all the other ThinkTank products I own, it's clearly the result of evolutionary design, done by working photographers. My favorite "I'm so glad they thought of that" feature is the emergency shoulder straps: they saved the day when my parking spot was separated from the shooting venue by a long gravel trail.

I bought my Think Tank Photo Security V2 bag new approximately 2-3 years ago. I love it--absolutely love it. It is worth 5 out of 5 gold stars--easily. Before buying this bag I bought new and used a top of the line similar LowPro bag. LowPro makes good products but the zipper on my LowPro bag sprung, which was annoying, to say the least. A bag with a dysfunctional and/or unreliable zipper is not comforting, especially when the bag holds approximately $20,000--or more--of camera gear, and you are on a trip, hundreds or thousands of miles from home. The zipper on this ThinkTankPhoto bag is many times far superior to LowPro's bag. I often keep my ThinkTankPhoto [TTP] bag full, so there is a lot of strain on its zipper when I zip it up, but, this zipper, so far, functions as if it is 100% industrial strength grade. So far, this zipper shows no sign of failing. This entire bag is extremely durable and rugged. Also, today, mid-June 2011, I took my TTP bag to their Santa Rosa, CA office for a wheel replacement. The rubber on the wheels had come off in some places, making the bag generate a "clack, clack" sound when rolled. I believe the rubber came off, in parts, when small rocks got stuck in the wheel mechanism, preventing the wheels from rolling, and I had to drag the bag, when heavy, over rough desert terrain or gravel or both, when rushed, which happened often, when I was part of a large escorted photo tour. The wonderful folks at TTP's Santa Rosa, CA office made a free of charge warranty repair, for me, in a few minutes, while I waited, providing customer support worthy of an A+ on a traditional A-F scale. My bag now rolls smoothly with no clack-clack sound. Functionally, it is 100% as good as new. The TTP folks also fixed my bag with an external large, heavy, tripod support. I had been unable to figure that out for myself, but they set me up nicely, for free. -- Peter J. Mancus www.cloud9photography.us

Easy to configure and this thing is bullet proof. I have taken it well off the beaten path and probably into conditions in which it probably wasn't designed without any issues. I like that components can be replaced, as necessary. When shooting in the field, I will use the provided locks to secure the bag to a tree and then use a lens bag to rove around. The Airport Security essentially becomes a base station and I can feel secure in knowing it is locked.

Just received my bag and Artificial Intelligence laptop case. Love the quality and design of the bag. Very well thought out, spacious, love the fact that it includes rain cover and carrying straps. The only negative thing I can see is the security cable for the laptop bag. Instead of securing my $4,000 laptop, it secures my $50 bag... not so smart. Would take about 10sec for someone to unzip the bag, take the laptop and leave the bag chained to the camera bag...

I bought it a month ago, I live in Brazil and so far I have made 2 international flights, 8 national flights and 2 regional jet flights and I'm yet to have any problem with it's size and bulk. I've used all kinds of camera bags, from rollers to backpacks, hard cases,modular, etc. and so far, the Airport Security is the best photo bag in any category I've ever used! It's so well thought and made, all details are in the right place and you can fit a great amount of gear inside it. TSA locks and security cables are awesome for any frequent traveler, internal dividers the right size/amount, tripod holder works and you can take it away and well, I could go on and on talking about the great features! Only critic I would post is that the elastic sleeve in front of the bag is too tight so you can't really fit the Artificial Intelligence when any or both bags are fully loaded.

I wanted a roller bag to haul my gear around, and after scouring the Internet, I narrowed down to this one and the Pelican 1510. I actually bought both from Amazon just to test out how much each can hold. The Airport Security can hold almost twice as much stuff as the Pelican 1510 (hence twice the price), mostly because of its ability to swallow up flashes in its vertical position and yet the exterior dimensions of the Airport Security isn't all that much bigger (wow). Yes, I realize that the Pelican is nearly indestructable but the build quality of this thinktank bag is nothing less than stellar. I did have an issue with one of the tripod straps not being able to attach to the exterior of the bag due to a manufacturing defect, so I contacted thinktank and they replaced the entire bag with a new one no questions asked with overnight shipping. Their customer service is A+.

Got this for Christmas and love it. Great bag easy to handle and lots of room for all your stuff
