That’s precisely how I describe my “fears” of flying and how I use my Stealth Backpack! One additional suggestion is to pack along a neoprene LensCoat TravelCoat to slip over a supertele for when you have to gate check the roller bag, but don’t want to let the lens out of your grasp. Could work for a strobe head, or whatever other fragile/expensive/heavy/essential items you’re bringing, too. It might technically become a third item but, if you pull it out on the jet bridge, you’re only stepping on the plane with two.

Nice Review David.

I’ve been looking for a new bag to travel with and this one fits the bill.

Great review and many thanks for it. As others have mentioned, it adds so much to see it on video and also it’s good to see & hear yourself there. A voice to go with the face & words makes a big difference as well.

I have a very small, collapsable, portable luggage cart that I use with the Acceleration. My assumption is that it looks like less weight if it’s not on my back causing me to bend over in pain and pant for air. But you’re 100% right (or 110% for those confused by math), it’s a gamble either way.

Just remember that items on your body don’t count. You can put 50 pounds of lead in your pockets, and that’s fine. So I always try to wear clothing with large pockets. None are going to hold a 70-200, but they’ll hold a 50, a pocket rocket, a strobe, etc. In my worse-case-scenario I deck myself out to look like a Christmas photo-gear tree. In fact, there might be an argument for a, gasp, photo vest in here somewhere.

That was a great, informative, and funny little review. Scripting the cat was genius. Other video (or posts) on traveling with gear would be great. I’m with Joe, I didn’t know before today that I needed a bag like this
