Think Tank Airport Roller Derby v2

It’s the little things in life that can sometimes bring the most pleasure and wheeling this little beauty around is one of those things. The Think Tank Airport Roller Derby is a rolling camera bag designed for photographers who regularly travel with a large amount of gear. Just like we have come to expect from Thinktank it focuses on organisation, mobility, and durability, making it a practical choice for professionals who need reliable protection for expensive equipment.

As I’ve already said one of its most distinctive features is the wheel system. Instead of the usual two-wheel design, the bag uses four dual wheel sets for a total of eight wheels. This allows it to move super smoothly in multiple directions and navigate tight spaces such as airport terminals or aircraft aisles. The design also spreads the weight more evenly, which helps reduce strain when transporting heavy camera equipment, it glides along with the minimum of pressure from you.

Inside, the bag offers generous storage capacity with adjustable padded dividers that can be configured to suit different setups. It can hold two camera bodies with lenses attached, along with six or seven additional lenses or accessories. Larger items such as a 400mm f2.8 lens can also be accommodated when packed carefully, which will appeal to sports and wildlife photographers.

There is also dedicated storage for digital devices. A padded compartment fits a laptop up to 16 inches, while a separate sleeve holds a tablet, keeping electronics protected during travel. Smaller pockets inside the bag provide space for memory cards, batteries, filters, and other accessories so everything stays organised.

Build quality is another highlight thanks to the durable materials such as ballistic nylon and abrasion resistant zips, helping it withstands frequent travel. Practical additions like a seam sealed rain cover, locking zips, and a security cable offer extra protection when working in challenging environments or busy locations.

This is a traveller’s dream, a well-designed bag that balances capacity, protection, and manoeuvrability. For photographers who regularly fly or move between locations with a full kit, it provides a dependable and thoughtfully organised transport solution. RRP £419
