Based on Tenba's Air Case frame, this series isn't designed for cameras, but rather for keeping your portfolio safe and presented in style. The black exterior is made of ballistic nylon; the interior compartment has cutouts to help the client pull the portfolio or mounted prints out. An external pocket holds a shipping label. Tenba will even personalize an Airbook with an anodized aluminum plate engraved with your name or logo. Sizes range from 8.5x11 to 16x20, to fit a variety of mat and board sizes. From $160 to $200. tenba.com
M-Rock Extreme Zion 523
Backpacking to a remote location to get the pictures you want can be hungry and thirsty work, and that's why you'd be wise to carry your gear in this new model from M-Rock. It holds a small laptop, D-SLR with 70-200mm f/2.8 (or similar size) lens, some compact zooms, and accessories -- with room left over for water. A flat 200ml water pouch with a drinking tube is incorporated into the bag, making it easier for you to stay hydrated while hiking. And when you get hungry, you don't even have to take off the bag; just get your sandwich out of the Extreme Zion's integrated lunch cooler. If you want to haul more gear and less food, just pop the cooler out. About $150. m-rock.com

National Geographic Earth Explorer Large Backpack
Most of us won't ever get an assignment from National Geographic, but this huge, rugged, well-built khaki bag will hold enough gear for self-styled photo treks to slot canyons or the Serengeti. It has a dedicate laptop slot, and its top and bottom compartments can be joined by unzipping the divider panel to haul seriously long glass. In a category in which ballistic nylon is the standard, these safari-style bags stand out from the pack. About $260.
