Ask a handful of photographers who travel often what their recommended bag is for a trip, and there is a good chance that more than a few would mention Think Tank Photo’s Airport camera bag series. These bags have made a name for themselves in the photographer community and have earned a loyal following, so when Think Tank announces new bag, many photographers take note.

Think Tank has now unveiled the third-generation of its Airport series camera bags, featuring upgrades to both the International and Security versions. Among the upgrades for both bags are improved handles, greater overall durability, and dedicated laptop and tablet compartments.
