	The rear security cableis built into the framework of the Logistics Manager. It is stored in a zippered pocket on the rear of the rolling bag and can be used to tether the bag to an immovable object while on location. A mini TSA-approved combination lock is included but any gauge lock can be used with the security cable.
	The main zipper sliders can be secured by the three digit combination lock built into the side of the Logistics Manager. The lock is also TSA-approved, in case the Logistics Manager is checked as baggage during airline travel.
	Each Logistics Manager is assigned a unique serial number which is on the small metal plate riveted on the back of the roller. The serial number can be registered, upon purchase, for Think Tank's Lost-and-Found program at http://www.thinktankphoto.com/lostandfound_registration.aspx.
	The durable extending handle is sized strategically so the Logistics Manager rolls further away from the person pulling it. This reduces the chances of kicking the bottom of the rolling bag with your heels as you walk.
	Two clear organizer bags for carrying cables, batteries, chargers, etc. are included with the Logistics Manager. Each zippered organizer bag has a built-in business card window for easy identification as well.
	Two removable lid straps are included to keep the lid near a 90º angle. Excellent features to have when space is limited and to keep the clear pockets under the lid visible.
	There are special pockets for the zipper sliders to insert into when the zippers are closed. When properly used, they prevent the zipper sliders from scratching any valuable equipment inside the bag.
	A reinforced webbing handle is located at the bottom of the Logistics Manager for convenience.
	The front, lower half of the Logistics Manager features a deep stretchable pocket with a hook-and-loop flap enclosure. The pocket can be used for large, awkwardly shaped equipment such as Magic Arms, extension cords and some folding reflectors. Alternatively, the Artificial Intelligence 15 or Artificial Intelligence 17 laptop cases can be carried in the same pocket.
	The large zippered pocket on the front of the Logistics Manager has a built-in organizer for various accessories such as model releases, pens, permanent markers, and computer cables.
	The organizer pocket at the side of the bag can be used to carry small tools that may be essential to have on location. The tripod cup included with the Logistics Manager also attaches to the metal buckle inside this pocket. When the tripod cup is not in use, it does not need to be removed and can be stored in the side pocket as well.
	Attachment points for tripods or light stands are built into both sides of the Logistics Manager. Two sets of support straps and a tripod cup are included; Bazooka tripod bags are also compatible. Pictured here is a Series 5 Gitzo tripod and a Humongous Bazooka with a pair of medium size softboxes inside it.
	Any Bazooka tripod case can attach to the side of the Logistics Manager by using accessory straps included with the roller. The Humongous Bazooka size and expanding capacity pairs well with the Logistics Manager, to carry longer equipment such as tall light stands and large softboxes or umbrellas.
	Large tripods or light stands can also be attached to the opposite side of the Logistics Manager, using the included tripod cup and accessory straps.

Overall Product Rating:

I just received my Think Tank Logistics Manager rolling case. Wow! This thing's big. The entire bag seems well designed and well built, except the extendable aluminum handle system. It feels kinds of cheap. At $600 I expected a more beefy handle. My immediate disappointment is that you are instructed "...that this roller not be lifted off of the ground or pulled up stairs by the aluminum handle system." I'm 6' 2" and having to bend down to grab the handle when going up stairs will be difficult. With my equipment the bag weighs in at 62 lbs. Everything else about the bag seems terrific.

Today I received my Logistics Manager, This rig is going to be great! Think of it as a giant Airport Security. It is very well thought out with all the gripes and “I wish this bag was.....” addressed. I love that it is thicker than the other rollers, I can fit a Canon 300 2.8 IS or a 70-200 with a body attached standing up. It also fits my Hensel Porty strobe kit really well. It is long enough to get my umbrellas and small Chimera strip banks inside. With all this I still have room for a Q-Flash and battery, ID Light and battery, some grip and reflectors. On the outsides there are pockets and straps for light stands and tripod. My 17" Mac Book Pro fits in the outside flap pocket or a medium folding reflector with room to spare. This thing comes loaded FULL of dividers of all sizes making customizing it a breeze. Locking zippers and built in security cable round It out to be the best big roller that has ever been built. Thanks Think Tank for having the vision to create this tool that will make working on location with lots of gear more comfortable and efficient. Peter Holcombe http://www.holcombephotography.com/

Awesome Bag! Its a "must buy" roller bag and serves really well as a "big brother" to the "Airport Security."Well thought out and extremely well built. I lug around 55-68 pounds of gear in it and often FEDX it "as is" using built in lock to secure contents. It holds: mini tripod, 2 mini light stands, 12- SB800 flashes, 12- Pocket wizards, reflector, 4-Justin clamps, and a bunch of extra misc necessities. It essentially holds an entire portable "studio" in one bag. Its a "must buy" kit and serves really well as a "big brother" to the "Airport Security."

I've been using this bag for the last month or so. It's well built and sturdy for the most part. I appreciate the large number of space dividers included.The handle is a bit weak for the size of bag and within a week I broke one of the compression straps. My local camera store told me I would have to send a photo of the strap to them which they would forward to TT to determine if it is replaceable under warranty? Really? For a $6 strap? I paid well over $600 for this bag. C'mon guys don't cheap out on me now...

I love the size of this bag. Not sure I will ever travel by airlines with it but it is awesome for location shoots where one can lock up the bag to a post and lock the zippers as well. Please see my start of a review on my site http://brucefisher.zenfolio.com/think-tank-photo-reviews

This bag is a beast. But I love it. The frame of itself is relatively heavy, and that's a factor given that any attempt to fill it - with whatever it is you're filling it with - is likely to make it difficult to lift in or out of the car. Still, this is the bag I've been looking for for major sporting events. It allows me to get a 300, 400, multiple bodies, lenses and remotes into a single bag that rolls. Previously I couldn't do that and needed an additional bag of some kind. While that made the weight of the individual bags less than piling it all into one, it lacked the security features ThinkTank bags have. One easily secured and stored bag. It could probably ship, but figure the weight would be so prohibitive that most airlines would go nuts. But if you're local, and you know you can roll to your location, this is a great bag. Biggest complaint is that a 15-inch laptop fits in the front slot, but the flap doesn't close properly like it does on other bags. I don't know why that is, but it closes securely - just not cleanly.
