A smaller version of the "domestic" Airport, Think Tank's first bag, this roller meets international carry-on regulations and features TSA-approved locks on the main compartment. An integrated wrapped-steel cable lets you lock it to something nonremovable in a press room or hotel -- or to a tree. The supplied dividers can be swapped out for the low divider kit, which leaves enough space for most laptops inside the locked main compartment. A retractable handle, in-line wheels, and a subdued black-on-black design make the Airport International look much like a regular carry-on bag -- but it's all business for the frequent-flyer photographer. About $320. thinktankphoto.com

Tamrac Expedition 8
Tamrac's largest backpack, this new model can easily hold multiple D-SLRs, each with its own accessories, plus a 400mm f/2.8 supertele and a bunch of smaller lenses, with filters, gadgets, and cables. Dual "wing pockets" on either side of its QuickClip tripod harness allow fast access to small but important things like spare CF cards and batteries. The wings incorporate Tamrac's easy-to-understand Memory & Battery Management System flags, which show what's fresh and what's spent (or full). A five-way adjustment harness system customizes the fit for any size photographer. About $230. tamrac.com
