Does anyone use any Think Tank products?

In September I shall be adding a 500 f4, which means I need a bigger bag!
I've read up on Think Tank and they seem to good reviews, well made, clever design etc.....

Any first hand experience of them on here? I'm specifically looking at the Airport Accelerator. It won't be used for hiking distances, just keeping everything together on journeys, short walks.

Yes - I use Think Tank products.
IMO they are very well thought out and very well made.

I use their lens pouches for various lenses up to 100-400mm and keep flashes in some of their other pouches.

Very well designed, well made and very protective.

So let me get this right... a 'Think Tank Airport Accelerator' is a camera bag and not something to get an overladen Hercules off the runway?

I thought Mac software had silly names but that takes the prize!

They also do a "Glass Limo"!

I had the earlier version of:

but now I have a smaller version and the back-pack harness.

The only problem with them is that there are so MANY internal storage areas
within pockets, that sometimes I lose stuff in it.

Also use Think Tank. Top quality, and they 'think' out of the box... Making bags that don't look like they contain cameras.

That's the appeal (not the losing stuff bit)

Hmm, having trouble finding this bag in stock anywhere.

Those that have them, where did you buy them from? Was it a headache?

Have you tried Speedgraphic? They're a good bunch and usually have a lot of Think Tank in stock, or Harrisons

Well it turned up today, I knew it would be big, very impressed how much fits in with room to spare.
Quality is very high.

Thanks for the Speedgraphic tip off mark.

Sorry for the phone pic!
