arthur_gottschalk Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 After my last overseas trip I found that a backpack could no longer do the job of carrying my heavy MF equipment. Can anyone suggest a somewhat small and light rolling camera case that I might use for my Hasselblad and two lenses plus Xpan and two lenses?

Ed_Ingold Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 A Thinktank "Airport Advantage" would be the right size for your gear, and would fit overhead or under the seat. I had one, never used*, but decided to give it to my daughter-in-law, who shoots with a Canon 5Diii kit. It is 5" deep in the front, which is okay for a Hasselblad with a folding finder, and perhaps a 45 deg prism on its side. Thinktank rollers are amazingly light (2.6 lb) yet strong, about half the weight of a comparable LowePro. The zippers are better too, heat-sealed YAK. There's room for a 13" laptop too, but with a padded sleeve, not provided. It has handles on three sides, two padded, for carry and lifting. * I bought it for a photo trip to Iceland, then had second thoughts about it's utility in the field. As it turned out, my backpack never left the car except in the evening. I carried a camera, and an extra lens or two in my jacket pockets. For the moment, I remain a loyal backpack fan. The "Airport Advantage" is nominally the same size as my "Airport Essentials" backpack, but slightly smaller.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_jack1 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Only from point A to B and not on a pro shoot unless you have an assistant. If your traveling with lighting equipment it's a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
