The black Urban Disguise 50 V2.0 from Think Tank is larger and holds more than the 40 V2.0 version but still resembles a traditional piece of luggage or briefcase as opposed to a traditional camera bag, yet, it will hold enough gear to shoot your gig.
Inside, the bag can be configured to handle a wide variety of equipment. For example, it carries one pro size or regular size DSLR with a 24-70mm f/2.8 attached, plus 2-4 additional lenses, and a 15.4" widescreen laptop in a separate padded compartment. Or, it can hold two regular size DSLRs with standard and wide angle zoom lenses attached - or two pro size DSLRs (bodies ONLY) in a padded front pocket, plus 3-6 lenses in the main compartment. A handy retractable divider allows you to separate the two camera bodies and prevents them from bumping together. If you remove the divider entirely, you'll have one large pocket for files, documents or other collateral material. The flexibility of the bag should be obvious. Irrespective of the configuration, your 70-200mm f/2.8 with reversed hood will fit while attached to a DSLR.
The front unzips quickly for rapid access to your gear. The gusseted pocket prevents items from slipping out. Underneath the front flap is a padded pocket for an additional camera body but which can be flattened to minimize the overall profile of the bag. Both sides of the bag contain stretchable pockets for holding your cell phone or water bottles. As a bonus, the bag includes a Pee Wee Pixel Pocket Rocket that holds 4 CF cards and 3 SD cards. It also has an ID window, red trim for easy spotting and is tethered for security.
For carrying convenience, the included shoulder strap is contoured, comfortable and non-slip in design. Fabric loops on both sides and bottom are there to attach optional straps such as the Urban Disguise Attachment Straps and Shoulder Harness that can be used to convert this bag into a backpack. These straps can also be used to strap a tripod to the bottom of the bag. On top, there are stylish and strong leather grab handles with a clasp to hold them together. There's also a rear panel that can serve as a trolley sleeve on a luggage cart. However, when not needed, the panel can be used as an additional storage pocket. The back of the bag also features a handy business card holder that eliminates the need to open the entire bag to retrieve your comp card.
For ultimate protection, not only is the bag made from ballistic nylon but Think Tank supplies a rain cover that is tethered to the bag to prevent it from blowing way in strong winds. This unique bag is backed by Think Tank's lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects.

This bag solves a problem I have had for years- how to transport a camera & a laptop while traveling. This is a great carry-on bag. My laptop, one camera body, a flash and two lenses fit in here perfectly, with room for magazines & any other personal items I needed with me. (there is room for even more gear) Of course, it does get heavy with all that stuff in it, but that's not the bag's fault. Also, I am quite petite, and I managed it fine. There are A LOT of pockets and compartments in this bag, and it is extremely well made.

I bought this bag to carry with the Airport Navigator for flying on out of town jobs and this is perfect. It slips right over the handle on the navigator and I can easily roll everything. The UD 50 is lightweight and I can fit a pro body with 24-70 2.8 attached, plus a 70-200 2.8 and additional lens or flash and accessories, plus my 13" macbook pro and still have additional space if needed within the expandable front flap. This is a well constructed bag that doesn't let everyone know you are carrying camera gear.

I feel like Goldilocks...this one is just right! The size is perfect for my D800/E with a lens attached and 1 or two additional lenses (depending how much weight I care to carry), a flash and a whole collection of small stuff. Construction, typical of Think Tank, is outstanding. My only complaint is that the shoulder pad slips on my shoulder but, for some reason, this is a problem I have with many bags. I could carry my 15" MacBook Pro but I usually only drop my iPad in the back.

Comments about Think Tank Photo Urban Disguise 50 V2.0 (Black):
I needed a bag that would allow me to (i) bring my camera gear along on business trips (ii) allow me to bring papers, ipad/computer, other things along on pleasure trips and (iii) conceal the fact that I had expensive camera gear in my bag.
The Urban Disguise accomplishes all three points. And, as opposed to some other bags I have, the bag is lightweight, despite its size. The pockets have ample space for papers/pens/mints/purell, etc with lots of extra spaces for a laptop/ipad and other zippered compartments. The strap has a very thick and comfortable feel to it that lightens the load on your shoulder.
The bag fits perfectly under an airline seat, as well.
I am a fan.

This well made case does not look like a camera bag and I use it as part camera bag part briefcase for carry-on. If you want to be able to handle two pro DSLRs a bit more easily get the UD60. Construction and quality first rate

Think Tank makes this high quality bag for hauling your expensive gear around. The stitching and materal is excellent and padding on the shoulder strap is wonderful. Space does get tight with all my gear in it: 7D body, 50 f1.4, 10-22, 24-70, 70-200 2.8. This made it necessary to get the Skin strobe for my 600ex flash. I now have a 5Diii and need to get another external bag for my second body or a lens. I highly recommend the attachment straps as this allows for the attachment of external bags and for a tripod on the bottom of the bag. It also comes with a lifetime guarantee from the manufacture for the original owner. Overall I highly recommend this bag.

Ordered for a trip to Charleston , walked the city for 3 days loade with gripped 7D with 17-55 attached,70-200 f4 and 580ex speedlight in bag. Plenty of storage for remotes,cards and other goodies. Used as carry-on for all my gear plus laptop on flight. Only drawback is it is sized for a 15.4 computer no larger my 15.6 would not zipp all the way.
