Great case.

One of my favorite pieces of gear, can fit so much gear, wheels a good and it has a quality build to it. I currently carry on this case: - Aputure 400X, with balast, cables and its fresnel/barndoor and reflector. - Aputure 200Xs, with PS, cables and its fresnel/barndoor and reflector. - Aputure 80C, with PS, cables and its fresnel/barndoor and reflector. - Amaran 120C, with PS, cables and its fresnel/barndoor and reflector. - DMG Dash + buble eye thing. - 2 Amaran T2C tubes. - 4 ft and 3ft domes. - Stingers/safety chains, gels, connectors, a few grip heads and clamps. I still have some room to fill in it, its just amazing.

Almost there…

This bag does a great job accommodating my Aputure lights, Kupo light stands, and tripods/monopods, with some room to spare. However, there are a few design flaws that could be addressed to improve usability: Handle Placement and Padding The handle padding on the top and side feels subpar and could be improved for better comfort. Additionally, the side handle is positioned too low, making it much less ergonomic for maneuvering such a heavy bag. Adding a second handle on the opposite side and upgrading the padding would greatly enhance usability. Wheel Locks Given the bag’s size and weight, wheel locks would be a welcome addition to keep it stable when upright. Adding 4-way wheels with locks would be an even better improvement, especially considering its length and difficulty getting through doors. Strap Mechanism The lid straps that hold the bag open often get caught in the zippers, which is frustrating during use. The newer design seen in the V2 Airport Navigator by ThinkTank features a better strap mechanism that could be incorporated here. While this bag is one of the few available in this size, which is a significant advantage, addressing these design issues would make it much more user-friendly and practical.

The Think Tank Photo Production Manager 50 V2 Rolling Gear Case is not water resistant. The case will not be good in very humid, moist atmospheres. A hard case will be a better option.

Do airlines consider this bag oversized and charge you an extra fee? (I know it's in danger of being overweight once you fill it, but I want to avoid an oversized fee on top of things...)
Asked by: andrew
Many airlines have special media rates to accommodate those who have to travel with a lot of gear. I would try to confirm with them as you book your flight.
