Help me choose a BIG Camera bag

[jasonA]

I currently have a Lowepro 350AW , but its not fitting all of my items.
So, Im looking to get a new big bag, which can fit all of my items.


Here is the shortlist :

• Lowepro x200 Pro Roller
• Lowepro x300 Pro Roller
• Think Tank Airport International
• Vanguard xcenior 62T
• Kata FLYBY-76PL
  

Help me choose one from the above list, which is real big and can handle any amount of gear.

I need to place an order today, so please let me know .

Im getting a good deal for Thinktank Airport security v2 :
Airport Security? V 2.0 Roller Camera Bag - Think Tank

I was thinking, if I can settle for this and also another big question is :

Is it okay to send this as a check in baggage ?

I mean, I never send my camera goods into check in, rather I always carry with me into the cabin as cabin baggage , but since this is ultra big, I dont have a option.

Just need to know, what extra measures can be taken, if we are sending this as check in baggage, so they airport guys dont throw it here and there into the plane logistics box or the delivery roller lane.

Let me know.

Not a direct answer, however this thread may be of interest.

Travelling with camera gear? - Photo.net Travel Forum

Personally I have always had my camera gear as carry on, except once when a small lens was in its original box in my checked clothes bag.

Ok do you suggest Thinktank Airport security v2 ?

[RichardTaylor]

I do own a number of Think Tank bags and they are good bags.
If I was only flying in the USA, and wanted to carry a lot of gear that bag would be high on my list to buy.

Just do the numbers to make sure you do not go over any weight limits with the bag fully loaded.

you can take it as hand baggage it meets *most* security regulations

the airport international i think, meets all security regulations worldwide.
