Think Tank Airport Roller Darby V2 Travel or commercial photographer’s newest and best friend. It is a four-wheel rolling camera case designed for a serious user. This allows easy maneuver in tight locations, which occurs with a minimum effort to push through the crowded airport or to push under the hall for your next photo shoot. Need to take a lot of gear in international and domestic overhead compartment and fit it? It can also do it! How about your 400 mm f/2.8 fittings? It also does!
Who is the think tank?
Ask the think tank who they are, and they would say, “We are a group of designers and professional photographers on the mission of designing and making the highest quality travel gear for the world’s travel supervisor.” Established in 2005, the think tank desires tanks to help photographers to see the world and catch moments by creating the highest quality travel gear. The think tank has become a leading company for high quality travel gear for the most dedicated photographers and professionals.
First impression and design
I have yet to meet a think tank bag that I did not like, and the airport roller Derby V2 is no different. This bag is packed with features – no intention! I am not talking about useless features! The think tank photo considers the photo designing its bags for Avid and everyday working photographers, as well as a bag designed for travel or commercial photo shoots. The bag is designed to take a beating, so it is a magnificent trip and commercial photographer bag. The outer bag is built with 1680D ballistic nylon, so you know it will catch and beaten one. Coated with a durable water-development (DWR) coating, a little moisture will not be a big thing, and it also comes with a seam-seal rain cover.
Capacity and layout
I am always looking for a bag that I can do gear -filled items in a small footprint, even with a roller bag. This is what the airport roller Derby V2 does this for me; It is packed with gear and holds a small footprint. This is great when traveling through a crowded airport or crowded place. Sometimes, I find myself in a small, crowded place on a commercial shoot, so space is important. The bag has outdoor dimensions of 14 “W X 22” H X 9 “d (35.6 × 55.9 × 22.9 cm) and 12.6 internal dimensions” w x 18.5 “h x 5.5-7.5” d (32 × 47 × 14-19 cm). I love shooting, as many commercial photographers do. I hate taking a separate bag for my laptop because it is just another bag to move and track throughout the day. The airport roller Derby V2 has a compartment for my computer and tablet. I will take my tablet while traveling by road and will make quick editing in Literoom on my iPad Pro. It is good to have a laptop and tablet box to store one or the other. The tablet compartment comes at 10.5 “w x 10.5” h x 0.6 “d (26.7 x 26.7 x 1.5 cm), and the laptop compartment is 10.5” w x 14.25 “h x 1” d (26.7 x 36.2 x 2.5 cm). Both these coaches will fit most tablets and laptops.

Portability and travel readiness
Nothing can be disappointing more than reaching the gate to ride on the plane and check in your bag – especially the camera bag. Who rely on airlines with his cameras? Not me! The airport roller Derby V2 has a specially designed interior that maximizes most American domestic and international airline carry-on requirements, maximizing gear capacity! The bag also includes locked Ykk RC Fuse Zipper, allowing your gear to secure. The journey enables the orange-unknown lock security officers to open, inspect and relax their bags. Another magnificent feature included in the bag is the safety ID plate. The plate has a unique serial number, which when registered with the think tank, enhances the possibility that your lost bag can be returned to you!
The bottom handle easily lifts your heavy bag in overhead bin on the aircraft. The airport roller Derby V2 easily glide because you pull using a two-position locking handle, which extends to 38 “-42.75” for better ergonomics while pushing and pulling. There are three ways to roll the wheels: straight, back wheel tilt, or side wheel tilt on your side. In addition, four dual-wheel sets provide 360-degree dynamics in tight locations, and large rear wheels enable easily, bent two-wheeler rolling. Another great feature is that the wheels are users-paint.
Stability and weather resistance
The airport roller derby V2 is exceptionally durable, made like all the think tank bags, and a beating! The bag has a reinforced back panel for increased durability. The outer NY 1680D ballistic material of the bag and three-ply bonded nylon threads, durable water (DWR) coating, polyurethane coating, and handles are made of 3D air mesh. The interior of the bag consists of a poly 200D Pu Gray and Navy, 210D Silver-Tond Nylon, and Polyurethane-supported Valex liner and divider. The bag contains a very good 2x polyurethane-coated nylon 210T seam-seal rain cover. It will withstand elements.
Value and value
Regarding the price and price, the airport roller derby V2 is $ 429.75. It is a “purchase-this-life” bag. With heavy use, you will not replace it every few years. This will catch with heavy use and take a heartbeat. However, the bag cannot be as cheap as if something wanted-I had already said-it is a “purchase-this-life” bag. If you ever have problems with bags, I recommend emailing the customer service of excessive think tank photo. I have gone there and have done it – we have been taken care of, and they made it right, even on a bag which was many years old.
