I thought the bag was good but not really big enough for a 500 mm lens as advertised. I was looking for a bag for the 500 that would be substantial enough for travel.  I was worried that this bag would not provide enough protection.

Not Big Enough for a 500 mm Lens

Overall i did like the bag. I have purchased several think tank bags and this one did not disappoint  me. I needed a bag to carry my new nikon 200 x 500. Was able to carry that with my d500, 17 x 55, 100mm prime and a flash. I would have liked to see more small compartments outside the bag. But i am very happy with my purchase. 

Liked this bag

The value of the Glass Taxi is its versatility.....it can accommodate many small and medium lenses or hold a larger super telephoto, like the 500L.....I have two, one holding  the 100-400 II and the EF-S 24mm and the other carries my 300mm II.......all Canon.

Great bag!

Like all Think Tank bags, this one is top quality and well designed.  I'm using it for a Nikon 200-500mm (hood reversed) on a D300, plus a couple of smaller lenses.  Fit is perfect.

Great Backpack

I like the fact the my camera and lenses feel secure in this pack. The modular system make all my gear fit exact. The only thing is that I wish it were a bit bigger.

Good Pack

I bought this bag to transport my 500mm lens. The bag holds the lens and little else, but I knew this before buying it. The fact that it can be used as a backpack or shoulder bag is great. I can take my backpack with my other gear and the lens can be carried as a shoulder bag. One counts as a carry on and the other as a personal bag for airline travel. It also meets airline size restrictions. A tight fit but that keeps the lens from shifting. A great bag. It will not hold the 500mm with the camera attached.

Great Bag for Big Lenses

No matter what some of the photo gurus tell you, a backpack does not make you a goober.  So, you carry more than two pieces of glass, this does not make you a goober.  I am on and off planes, trains and buses here in Europe and my Glass Taxi takes it all in stride.  The shoulder strap makes it even more versatile.  More than enough Velcro inserts to configure it a dozen+ ways.  Comfortable--you won't know it's on your back. 
 As usual, Adorama had it delivered to my hotel in Miami spot on during a stop-over.  You can see at once that this product was designed and manufactured by photographers, not amateurs.

Once on your back the airlines class it "personal",  so you can take it and one bag in your hand on board with no objections.  

Would have loved to have a color choice, at least a colored stripe to make it my own, but that did not turn me off.  A bit of fabric paint gave it my own personal touch.  

Love it, just love it.

Love it, just love it.

Provides great protection for the 500mm as it bounces around the storage area of a Cessna 207!

Good protection

Bought this bag for my Nikon 400mm f2.8 VRII
It is the best all-round back pack style bag I've ever used. When not using it for big glass, it will store all your other gear. I just love this bag. Just get it!

Awesomeness!

Provides good protection for the 500mm lens. Holds up well in cargo bays of bush planes.

Durable

great for short day shoots.  can configure to hold two bodies with two standard lenses (24-70, 70-200) and a little more.

great bag

Lightweight yet sturdy support for transporting or carrying a 500mm. Can add a Think Tank body pouch on the outside but this arrangement is cumbersome and not very secure in crowds.

Convenient Bag for Travel

Graet for my 400mm F2.8. can fit a few smaller lens in to but gets tight. For the price i think a waist belt should be included not an extra to buy.

Perfect for what i needed

The ThinkTank Glass Taxi is a high quality camera bag. It is among the most compact and lighter weight bags that can transport larger telephoto lenses. It is one of the few that can carry a full-sized DSLR. My Nikon camera fits in it attached with a Sigma 100-300 f4, its large lens hood, and 1.4x teleconverter. If I remove the large lens hood, I can store it, a battery charger, and my 18-105mm lens in separate compartments that I created using a few of the many Velcro attachable dividers that are included. Most other backpacks are big and bulky and seem better suited for outback expeditions, but the Glass Taxi is so streamline that it can be readily used in urban areas. The waist band (i.e. belt) can be easily attached and removed, which is a huge plus (with other backpacks people will cut this part off). It is easy to convert from backpack to shoulder bag with the high quality shoulder strap that is included. A raincover and straps for attaching a monopod and tripod are also included. The Glass Taxi is sturdy and well padded enough to protect your equipment throughout time. The zippers and fabric are of high quality and will last. There is only one large-sized mesh-style pocket inside the bag in which to store smaller accessories such as memory cards, filters, etc. In my opinion, this is the only drawback of the bag and a minor one if that. There are two smaller outside side pockets (one on each side of the bag) that can be used to store smaller accessories. The material and build of the bag are so superior that the people of ThinkTank Photo have more than earned a 5 star rating for this product. I highly recommend it.
