Q&A
Questions & Answers
Shopper : Does this roller bag fit in domestic flight airplanes overhead compartment?RICK ( : Yes it does...have used this bag for many domestic flights.HENRY R : I have used the bag on several different domestic airlines. I have not found a plane that has an overhead bin that will accommodate the bag unless it is placed in the bin sideways. It is too long to fit when placed in the bins as a regular carry-on. I don't use the bag any more for plane travel as I'm afraid I will not find space for it in an over head bin and will have to check it. I don't feel the bag would provide enough protection for camera gear for the amount of abuse that checked bags are subject to.CRAIG D : Yes, it will fit in horizontally. But, have only had it on 737's from Southwest.MICHAEL R : Yes. It fits easily in the overhead on all flights that I have taken. JOSEPH S : I have not flown with it so I have never tried. I have read in the past that it does. Sorry I am not more helpAPRIL L : It varies depending upon the aircraft. There are some domestic flights in which it will not fit in the overhead compartment.DAVID P : Yes it does, but sometimes it is a tight fit. That being said, I have always been able to put it in the overhead. I do not think it would fit in some of the smaller commuter plans though.JAMES G : Yes it does fit into the overhead compartments except for small regional jets.
JIMRICHARD B : This was one of the reasons for me buying it. Great bag and really would buy another if I needed it. Best regards,Richard Benton. San DiegoDANIEL H : No problem on bigger commercial planes as long as the bag is placed lengthwise. The bag will not fit in overhead bins on small commuter planes or regional jets, I have used ala carte without a problem for these flightsWILLIAM F : YesROBERT K : Yes domestic it does fit.
Werner A : What do you think about the wheels on this case? Are they ball bearing and are they made of a material that seems like it will hold up to much use?DAVID P : I've had the case for three years and have had no problems.CRAIG D : I've been using this bag for 2 years now and it weighs 42lbs loaded. Have not had any problem with the wheels or bearings. The wheels seem to be made of the same material as roller blade wheels.APRIL L : I have traveled all over with this case from remote areas in Canada to Brazil. I have packed it with as much weight possible and have had zero problems with the wheels.NEAL F : I've had this case for about 3 years and I love it. I use it professionally so it gets a lot of use and most assistants are not too gentle with it. I haven't had a problem with a wheel yet. They seem very sturdy. My only comment is that they are a small diameter wheel so they don't go over door jams and the like too easily. I suspect that a larger wheel would either take up more space inside the case or make the outside dimensions larger so it's a trade off I'm happy Think Tank made.KEVIN D : If you've never owned a think tank product before I can understand the question. Good news is all of their materials are absolute top-quality you can't get better than any part that they put in there.
The only issue and really the important thing for traveling, is that you never check this bag. it's not designed for that. It's designed for the photographer to carry the gear on. I am still amazed at the amount of gear that I fit into that bag safely I've haven't had a single problem with anything getting damaged with me transporting all my gear.DAVID P : I have had mine for a couple of years now and they have held up really wellJOSEPH S : Yes they are ball bearing and Ithey have held up well for me. Think Tank also has replacement wheels I believe. It is a ver high quality productJacqueline W : I have no idea, but my bag is super strong, rolls on grass, rocks, cement, carpeting — never a problem. They are sturdy. You'd have to go to Think Tank web site and look up specs for more detail. Further, these bags are made to be USED, not babied. They are the best in my opinion.
Shopper : v2.0 does that case come with a security wire?ALEX K : Yes it does.RENE R : yes. as advertised, the bag comes with a security wire. the wire is works with a small padlock with combination code. i've been very pleased with the bag. it is durable. for it's size, it can pack lots of gear & you can configure it in many ways to fit your photo gig needs. this is a must have if you expect to travel anywhere with your gear & keep it safe and organized. ps - i also like that i has shoulder straps.CRAIG D : Yes, it's in a zipper compartment on the back and comes with a TSA approved lock.KEVIN D : Yes and a lock in a recessed compartment ..ELISABETH N : Yes it has a security wire. Many of the think tanks do. You can't go wrong. I have this one and a backpack as well and I think they are best photo gear carriers I have ever had.DAVID B : Yes it does. A security wire in a special pocket along with a combination lock.JOSEPH S : Yes it does. You can see more details about it on the think tank websiteLAURA M : yeah .. its in the pic to if you look hardRICHARD B : This is by far the best bag I could have gotten for travel and all around daily use. Think Tank makes the best quality bags and everything they touch and to answer your question,yes it comes with a security (very) wire. Also,this is the first question I have ever responded to.Best of luck. Richard BentonARNOLD Y : Yes, the Airport Security case comes with a security cable w/ lock that is tuck away in a pocket on the back of the case where the pull handle is located.MIKE C : Yes... A very nice one!JOHN D : YesZACH B : Yes it doesGARY A : Yes.ROBERT S : Yes

The perfect carry bag for both videos and photos
The biggest advantage is the structure that allows you to easily put in and take out two cameras while leaving the bag standing up. The unique sense of size is suitable for both walking and car-mounted. The storage amount is not too much and not too little, and it is just right to put 2 mirrorless cameras, several lenses, and video supplies such as monitors, so you can flexibly respond to video shooting and photography. It's a perfect carry bag that can cover most shooting.

Love it.
I start with liking every ThinkTank product I've acquired. This Roller Derby doesn't disappoint. I tried another brand of camera carryon and hated it. It would not stand properly if a tripod were attached. This one rolls beautifully and is well constructed.

Best bag for my needs
I absolutely love this rolling bag! The airport navigator has served me well over the years and when it was time to retire mine I knew exactly what the upgrade would be, another Airport Navigator! Seriously I could not find a better bag! I love the top load feature for my cameras and the main compartment fits everything I need and then some! I could not be happier! Currently packed into it are two Nikon D850s, a 58mm 1.4, 105 1.4, a 35 1.4, 2 Elinchrom skyport pro transmitters, an Elinchrom 3, and various adapters and odds and ends. I think I could still add a few more itrms, like my computer. This bag has plenty of room. The perfect bag for me!

It's been 5 years and it's still PERFECT
I've had this derby for FIVE YEARS. It has been dragged through the mud, cobblestone roads, uneven concrete, you name it this thing is a workhorse. If a wheel came off, I'd immediately replace it without question. I'm an overpacked and I have never had an issue with this thing not being able to fit something. It keeps my wedding gear organized and easily accessible. I highly recommend this bag. Don't question it?BUY IT. It is well worth the investment. I have gotten so much use out of this thing

Perfect for my Gear
I am so happy I purchased the Airport Roller Derby with 4 wheels (vs 2). I just used it on a 2-day job on another island and loved it! It alleviates the pressure on my arm when I have a full gear bag and makes it a breeze to move through airports and pavement with 4 wheels. There are plenty of ways to set up the bag interior according to your gear needs and I love the fact that Think Tank literally thinks through each piece of equipment you may need to take with you on a trip and then creates a perfect pocket for it. The overall construction of the bag is well made and the zippers are high quality. Padding and handles are everywhere they should be. Their design team is top notch. So happy with my purchase!

My favorite bag
I'm a professional wedding and portrait photographer, and this has been the best bag for me for the last 10+ years. So good I've purchased a fresh one for the next 10 years. It's versatile with equipment, light, and has a small footprint (so important in hotel room getting ready, and tight venues). The top loading makes it very quick to access. Hands down the best bag I've seen in 19+ years in the industry.

Best traveling bag ever!
I love the Roller Derby. It has made my work life so much easier. The bag is well crafted from excellent durable materials and the four wheels make it a dream to cruise through airports, on sidewalks, hallways, anywhere. It's strong enough to hold my backpack on top and I can navigate it with one finger while using my phone. No more huffing and puffing and getting sweaty when rushing from pulling a two-wheeler!

Buy this NOW!
Just get this. You will not regret it. I've been a ThinkTank customer for nearly 15 years and this is the absolute best product I've purchased. I was on a trip with my trusty and rugged Airport International and the distance between the mass transit drop-off to the airport gate was a long one. My bag was packed with lots of gear so it was a bit heavy. I thought it might be time to get bag with more mobility, so I purchased the Airport Roller Derby. What a game changer. The rollers are like silk and glide with ease. The zippers are perfect. It's a tiny bit smaller than the AI which is also helpful. I think ALL TT roller cases should have 4 wheels!

Poor zipper on airport roller
I received and unpacked the item and opened it. After I took out the packaging and extra compartment velcro slats, I then tried to zip the case closed and soon realized that the grey inner cushioning was impeding the zipper from closing easily. Basically its been annoying using the case as difficult to close quickly and smoothly. I had to use it because I was traveling the day later and no time to return. Bit of a pain the whole tbf

Perfect for travel w/drone, tethered laptop + iPad.
Perfect for long traveling days w/ multiple hops around Asia. Fit: MBP + 11" iPad Pro, 2 bodies + 24-70, 70-200, various recorders and mics, and DJI Mavic 3 pro, w/chargers, w/o being too tight. Overall build quality and spinner wheels are smoother than any of my nice luggages. More energy efficient than city travel with big photo backpack as long as not trekking to off-road locations. Fully loaded fits easily in overheads (Airbus 319, 320/neo, 350, 380). Attached locking cable + security pulls quick to deploy. Low-key in appearance, and wheels are quiet rolling and soft due to rubber, unlike Pelican. Love the spinner functionality and relegating my TT Airport International v2 to lighting packages. Didn't try tripod attachment strap for everyday use, but it can carry peak design travel tripod or even RRS 34 in quick test . I also tried similar bags from Manfrotto, Lowepro and this TT Roller Derby, while more $, handily beats those in every aspect.

Just what I was looking for
I looked at a lot of wheeled bags before settling on the Airport Navigator. I have a backpack for general storage purposes but needed a "day bag" to take daytrips containing a smaller selection of gear. My requirement for the "day bag" was a camera (with cage), two-three lenses and supporting equipment. I was sold on the Airport Navigator with I discovered it had access to the camera through the top of the bag. Even my current backpack has a top load camera access; I'm spoiled. In my opinion, all bags, wheeled or backpack should have top load access to the camera. Once you experience it, you'll never want to lay your bag down again to get the camera out. With a small modification to the Velcro, I could access the two other lenses through the top as well. Additionally, the Airport Navigator is wider than some of the other wheeled bags I looked at. That works very well with the new Canon RF Mirrorless lenses, which tend to be larger in girth (diameter) than the previous EF lenses. It fits the new lenses perfectly. All traveling day bags should follow this design.

I LOVE IT!!
It's exactly what I needed as a wedding photographer! I love how compact and practical it is. I love that I can pull out lenses or flashes from the top, so accessible! I would definitely recommend this to everyone who is tired of carrying a camera bag on their back or shoulders.

It's large enough to carry both my Canon 1DXMark ii's 24-105mm, 70-200mm on camera along with my 17-40mm and 85mm, canon 600EX flash, camera battery charger, card readers, 15" laptop and Apple iPad.

Life is so much easier
Being the portable photographer, videographer, creator, drone pilot, etc... this roller board is perfect for the run and gun work I do. Started having too much gear for the backpack and needed an essential bag dedicated to house majority of my gear. This airport roller derby is perfect for shooting from location to location, and is the perfect size traveling aboard. Especially with wheels that swivel, it makes it so much nicer to maneuver in airports and on planes.

Only one small flaw in a wonderful case
Bought this to carry my usual gear and backups for a lengthy trip to Greece. Everything I could need fit in the case and it was easy to transport everywhere. I had 2 cameras, 3 lenses (2 of which were large), adapter, full set of filters, batteries, cords, charger, camera rain coat, and miscellaneous other sundries. The only problem with this case is that you are likely to take way more gear than you need. It was a tad heavy to heave into the overhead compartment on airplanes (but it always fit fine.) I expect to be using this case for travel forever more.

Excellent Camera Roller
I got it just to take a trip to Tahiti so I could take my camera equipment and not have to struggle with my two wheel case. It fit all my cameras including the DSRL, lenses, Go Pro and accessories, two Nikon underwater camera. Wheeled smoothly and carried my backpack without a problem. The four wheels made it effortless to get around the airport and the island

This is the one! quality casters, intelligent design, built in security strap. Great package
After buying several wheeled cases, this is the best one, (And most expensive one, I've owned. I travel a lot, sometimes in places that don't have smooth easy jetways. This case is ready for the world. Even some of the most updated airports require you to lug your camera equipment several kilometers. This case is up to the task. The casters are top quality and replaceable.

Excellent travel bag
By georgehd
I have tried a number of camera bags and this one is for me the best. The size is perfect as it holds a lot of equipment but does qualify for international airline carry on. It is easy to organize to fit your own equipment. I use a number of Think Tank products as I find them to be well designed and easy to use. In particular, the smaller computer case holds a lot of items that I do not want to pack and it slips over the handle of this bag, making for a nice neat package to roll through a...

Excellent High Quality Roller
By Art
Excellent very high quality roller. Met/exceeded my quality expectations. One my my main priorities was to never be in a position to have to check the bag. Was hoping it would fit under the seats of the planes I fly since overhead space oftens fills up. Took it on a (non-photograpic) business trip this past week to test it out. On an MD-80 medium size jet, it fits easily in the overhead compartments but I was not able to get it to fit under the seats due to some sort of boxes that protrud...
