Features:
Feature #15 Although this photo shows a 400 2.8, it will hold a 500 f4 lens. The zipper sliders are “self locking” to prevent the front flap from opening accidentally, as well as a mesh pocket on the inside flap.
Feature #2 This is one of the only backpacks that will hold a pro-size DSLR, with a 70-200 f2.8 attached and lens hood in position, as well as providing additional room for three other lenses.
Feature #3 Holds a 300mm f2.8 with SLR The Glass Taxi can also hold some lenses like a 300 2.8 with a pro-size SLR attached. It is best to use both the Foam Collar and the Foam Ring to secure it in position.
Feature #1 The Foam Ring in the bottom is for lens with smaller hoods, such as a 300 2.8. This extra foam pad, which is removable, securely positions the lens in the bottom of the bag.
Feature #16 A removable foam collar attaches via hook and loop to the back of the case. This secures a large lens in the case, preventing it from wobbling back and forth.
Feature #4 The Pro Speed Belt or Thin Skin Belt can be attached to the Glass Taxi by putting it under the hook and loop flap on the bottom of the bag. Modular components can be attached to the belt during use.
Feature #5 Pro Speed Belt can be removed without taking off the backpack or the belt. Remove the backpack by disconnecting the hook and loop flap and pulling the backpack upwards, keeping the belt and Modular components fully assembled.
Feature #6 Front rail holds Modular components. The “rail” on the front side of the Glass Taxi allows attachment of Modular components such as the Chimp Cage, shown in the photo, which holds a DSLR (without lens attached) or other items.
Feature #7 Stretch pockets on both sides allow for items such as a monopod to be attached to the side of the bag. Straps are included to hold the monopod in place.
Feature #8 A medium size tripod, such as this carbon fiber model, can also be carried on the Glass Taxi. Straps and instructions are included.
Feature #9 Tuck away the shoulder straps as needed. Disconnect the shoulder straps from the lower D rings and tuck them behind the back pad. This is useful when using the Glass Taxi as a shoulder bag.
Feature #10 A seam-sealed rain cover is included that has a pop-out section that goes over a Modular component when one is attached to the front rail.
Feature #11 A clear business card holder is located under the padded handle for easy identification. It can also be used to carry extra business cards.
Feature #12 The inside mesh pocket can be used for small accessories, such as a Pixel Pocket Rocket, lens caps, lens cloth, and more.
Feature #13 The Glass Taxi is so small, few people realize that it holds up to a 500mm f4 lens. It comes with the Curved Comfort shoulder strap, allowing it to be carried as a shoulder bag.
Feature #14 The Glass Taxi has mid-weight shoulder straps to carry it as a backpack. While wearing the backpack, its small profile disguises its function as a photo backpack.

Great bag, period. It's small and light yet able to carry two camera bodies, 3 lens; a 14-40mm; 24-70mm and yes a 70-200mm IS f2.8 And to top it off couple of filters, batteries and cable release in the cover pocket. Unbelievable but true!

after i got a 200mm/2.0 Lens some weeks ago i was worried, how to carry all my stuff. i always liked to take some of my fixed lenses and two 5D bodies in my glass taxi with me allday, because it's small and doesn't look too "expensive". (i am able to take care of my equipment. i don't have to run with it and it will not get hard touchdowns while working on events or making architectural pictures, so i don't have to cushion it to much). i sparely use flash, so usually i don't take one with me (except for events in bright sunshine) so see, what's (after some rounds of varying) in my bag. i didn't thaught, it would all fit into the glass taxi! one 5D II Body annother 5D II Body 200 / 2.0 Lens with hood 135 / 2.0 Lens with h

This is my favorite and most used bag. I have an Urban Disguise 60 and a Shape Shifter (jury is still out on that one) but find myself going for the glass taxi 90% of the time. The ability to add smaller Think Tank bags to the speedrail for extra capacity makes for a great modular system. I typically carry inside: 40D with grip attached to a 70-200 f2.8L, 20D without grip attached to a 24-70 f2.8L, 1.4x extender, (2) 580 ex II speedlights, plus spare batteries, CF card wallet, ball bungees. I use the included external straps for lashing a monopod or jacket to the side. Easy access to everything and has a nice slim profile. 4/5 Stars because I feel it lacks a few things: 1. I wish there were more pocket options inside the main flap th

I have had this bag for about 3 years now and it has become my main unit for carrying my gear despite the fact that, like most photographers, I have several bags to choose from. I regularly carry a Nikon D700 (w/o battery base), 70-200/2.8, 24-70/2.8, 17-35/2.8 without any problem. When I require more storage space for say, extra batteries, flash unit, etc. I simply attach a TT Trim Changer bag. When weight of all that f/2.8 gear is an issue, I simply use the TT modular belt to which the Taxi fits in a jiffy, even with the bag on my shoulders. Another plus for the Taxi is the padding. I was looking at getting a Streetwalker (Pro) but once I looked at the dimensions, there is not that much difference from the Taxi, in some ways I think the T
