Think Tank Airport Antidote 2.0 Backpack

I've had this bag for 9 months now, and I have yet to face a situation it can't handle. Shot for an entire day in New Orleans, carrying 2 bodies, 3 lenses, 2 flashes, accessories, and a small laptop. It never got too heavy or cumbersome to tote! I had my gear out and ready to shoot in no time! Fantastic system bag and one of the most comfortable bags I have owned. Thanks Think Tank!

Not a good choice as a backpack, but everything else about it is excellent.

I recommend any Thinktank product as the quality is outstanding and it is backed by customer support that is second to none.

Wish it had a place for a water bottle.

I use two of this backpacks and it's simply fantastic. It's small backpack, carry-on luggage even for regional jets but inside it's plenty of room. Carries a large latpot end is very confortable.

This is a big step up from my previous backpack. Needed more room with the Nikon 70-200/f2.8 lens. Now I can store the camera body with either the 18-200 lens or the 70-200 attached. Straps are very comfortable. Haven't taken it on a plane yet, but the handles on the top and the side should be convenient when I do.

I was looking for a versitile photo gear backpack to carry my Canon DSLR, multiple lenses, laptop, and assorted essential gear. I was looking for quality materials and construction. I took the time to thoroughly review all competative products to make the best choice to get the biggest bang for the buck. This backpack scaled the comparison bar with ease. Use in the field is excellent.

Purchased this for month-long trip across Eastern and Southern Africa! Held MOUNTED 50-500mm zoom, with room for 18-105, binoculars,etc...functioned as my carry-on. Was on all sorts of aircraft from 777 down to 6-seaters--bag always fit! Offers great, adjustable protection form dust, rain and jostling around on jeeps. Highly recommend.

After reading MANY reviews of available bags, I purchased this one from Adorama and have just completed a month-long trip to Africa. This bag is GREAT! Fit on all manner of aircraft, kept my gear safe, and is very well built. Should last a very long time! Reconfigured as I travelled. Brought 50-500mm Sigma which fit well when mounted to D90 and 18-105mm, binoculars, etc. which all fit beautifully! Highly recommend! Could always suggest improvements, but NO BAG is perfect! Great choice for my adventures!

If it weren't for Virgin Atlantic's ridiculously low carry-on baggage weight allowance, this would be the perfect bag for transporting a full complement of DSLR gear. This bag is not too heavy, their allowance is far too low. And now that I'm carrying more stuff around, I may need to move to a different airline. A shame, as I've been one of their frequent flyers for over 15 years. But I digress. This is an amazingly well-made bag, with thought and attention given to all the details. If you're happy not to have all your stuff instantly accessible (as with a waist bag), then this is great. I don't mind the lack of wheels, as this makes it lighter.

I bought this bag to use when I fly. It fits perfectly under the seat in front of me so my gear is always handy. It holds a huge amount of gear for it's size. I carry a D300 with a 70-200 and two additional lenses and have a tod of room left. The construction is perfect and it has just the right amount of pockets. If you have a 15" laptop you'll have a problem getting the bag under a seat, but the laptop case that comes with it is awesome as well

This bag has excellent quality. It fits an amazing amount of gear, including the Nikon 200-400. The only downside is that of accessibility inherent in a photo backpack. I also love the included laptop case.

Great bag...holds a ton and has all the extra little touches a pro needs.

Great solution for traveling with 13" Macbook, D200, various lenses, chargers, and (too much) various paraphernalia. After removing the laptop case from the front compartment, the bag fit into the extremely small overhead compartment on a regional prop plane, much to the surprise of the cabin attendant. The waist belt provides increased carrying comfort for the longer hauls. The quality of construction and materials seems to be extremely high. The only small negative I've found is that the rain cover lives in a separate pouch, as opposed to being integrated into a dedicated pocket. Previously I was using a Lowepro Mini-trekker (not the AW version) so I was used to the non-integrated rain cover - which I never had occasion to deploy. I like the Mini-trekker and may continue to use it when/if travelling without the laptop. For travel with laptop, I chose the Airport Antidote over the Lowepro Compu-trekker primarily because the laptop rides in the outside compartment of the Think Tank, which makes more sense to me. I doubt that a perfect bag will ever be designed, but this one comes close. My thanks to Thom Hogan for his recommendation.

My wife thinks I have a bag fetish because I am always looking for just the "right" bag. I may have finally found it in the Think Tank Airport Antidote. It holds all of my gear and makes it easy to travel, even in the smallest of airplanes. I am a big guy, so the fact that it will fit in the overhead makes more room for my legs. Holds 2 bodies, several lenses including my Tamron 200-500 zoom, and all the little stuff that I need to carry.

Large enough to hold a Nikon D3, 14-24mm f2.8, 24-70mm f2.8, 70-200mm f2.8, 50mm f1.4G, filters, cords, etc., with room to spare. And it fits in the overhead!
