p.1 #19 · p.1 #19 · Talk me out of or into buying the TT Airport Security | |
The TT International is a bit smaller, more likely to be allowed on international flights which are much more restrictive on bag size and weight.
I have both the TT International and the TT Airport Security bags. In fact, I have just finished packing the Airport Security for a trip to Newfoundland. It holds a 600VR, D4, D800, D7100, 80-400G, SB-910 flash and various incedentals in the lid zippered pockets. I hope I can pick it up to place in the overhead!
I will put a 24-120 and 70-200 2.8VRII lenses in the TT Urban Disguise 60 bag. This also carries all positively-can't-lose stuff ( meds, travel papers, etc). When walking thru airports, the Urban Dusguise has a flap in the back that locks it onto the extended handle rails of the roller Security. Easy breezy.
The TT International is the bag I use most, as most of my trips are to Africa or Asia or the Antarctic, or somewhere like that. It has been around the world a dozen times. And is still going strong.
I took the trouble to write all this because, after a bunch of trips, it seemed like the handle extension rails on the TT International were getting loose. I called Think Tank, and told them about this. Aside from sounding like that was impossible ( not impolite, just sounded like they never heard of that happening before) they without fuss immediately sent me a replacement set of rails. As it turns out, I was wrong. The rails were not coming loose, that's the way they are designed. The new rails were just as "loose" as the ones I replaced. But, when I compared them to the rails on the TT Airport Security ( which is a much beefier case ) they seemed looser. I have taken that TT International on many long trips since then, heavily overloaded, and it has never missed a beat. I wish every company I bought from was as customer friendly as Think Tank. Exceptional service!
Anyway, if you get a Think Tank bag, it will do what it is designed to do. You just have to choose the right bag for your purpose. If you are going international, get the TT International bag.
