Think Tank has announced the imminent release of a 4 wheeled roller bag called the Airport 4-Sight. Designed for pro photographers, the bag’s weight has been significantly reduced, whilst the company claims that the 4 wheels make moving the bag around easier. The 4-Sight also meets international airline carry-on standards and the bag can be turned so that it will wheel down confined spaces like airplane aisles.

The Think Tank 4-sight will be available from May 2012, at a retail price of $299.75.

Think Tank Photo to Release Airport 4-Sight Four-Wheel Rolling Camera Bag.

Santa Rosa, Calif. – Think Tank Photo announces that in May it will release its first four-wheeled rolling camera bag, the Airport 4-Sight™. The Airport 4-Sight meets international airline carry-on standards. The roller’s weight has been reduced dramatically through innovative design and by a strict focus on the features that photographers find most beneficial.

With professional photography gear not getting any lighter, Think Tank set out to design a more ergonomic roller to reduce fatigue and strain on traveling photographers. Walking a four-wheeler alongside one’s self is easier than pulling it behind or carrying it over a shoulder. Putting the bags weight on four-wheels eliminates arm strain and makes rolling effortless.

Four-wheelers are superior on many smooth surfaces. On thick carpet, the Airport 4-Sight leans over to perform as a traditional two-wheel roller. It has the added benefit of rolling sideways on two wheels to easily navigate tight spaces, such as airline aisles.

Features Include:

• High capacity. Holds Pro DSLRs with four to five lenses.
• Integrated removable Think Tank Cable Management organizer.
• Side hinged lid opens bag completely for quick and unencumbered access to gear.
• Two-position locking handle for comfort and ergonomics.
• Zippered top pocket for boarding pass..
• Lockable zipper sliders on main compartment.
• Reinforced bottom panel for increased durability.
• User replaceable handle and wheels.
• Seam sealed rain cover included.
• YKK RC-fused™ zippers.

“The Airport 4-Sight is in a class by itself,” said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank Photo’s co-founder and lead designer. “It appeals to frequent flyers or anyone who seeks ease in transporting gear. Smart design features like reduced overall weight and increased maneuverability, ergonomics and capacity make this rolling camera bag a breakthrough in the industry.”
