Perfect large bag for transport and storage
I do most of my work with a smaller messenger-style bag that holds just a body and 2 extra lenses. But if I ever need to transport my entire kit, this bag is fantastic. I use a medium format digital system, so the lenses are fatter than what most people are used to. This bag gives me the versatility to accommodate them. I also appreciate the style—it's more "solid camera luggage with backpack straps" than "light hiking pack with camera dividers." It's heavier and bulkier than you want for all day on a trail, but the use it's intended for, it makes very efficient use of space, is extremely burly and protective, and is surprisingly comfortable to carry, even with 20+ pounds of gear. When I'm not using it for transport, it makes a fine storage bag for all the lenses I'm not currently using. It has a reasonable number of pockets (I'd rather have too few than too many—I don't like looking for things. If I had one wish, it would be for a more versatile divider system. The one it comes with is designed for a big divider down the middle, with each half subdivided. So you get 4 lenses across. My lenses are too fat for this. I canibalized dividers from other bags so I could divide this one in thirds. It would be nice if ThinkTank made this an option with their own parts. Overall, very well designed and very well made. And I appreciate that it just looks like luggage. I don't want a sign on my back that says "rob me."

A must for sports photography
As a sports photographer I have searched and searched for the perfect bag. Finding the Airport Accelerator was huge for me. I needed a bag that could hold my 2 Sony A1's attached to a 400 f/2.8 (hood reversed) and a 70-200 f/2.8 and still have space for other lenses, hard drives, cables, gaffer tape, pocket wizards and small accessories. This bag holds it all with ease. It distributes the weight so well I don't even realize the bag is full of gear while carrying it. The quality is second to none and it is extremely durable. If you need space and comfort is important I highly recommend this bag.

Great Replacement for my old Lowepro Computrekker AW
Lowepro quality has really gone downhill. This ThinkTank is as good as they used to be. About the same practical size but much greater capacity. Weather cover is a little cumbersome compaered to the AW, but it is very rarely needed. Very happy with this purchase.

What a fantastic bag. The trick is finding a bag that holds a gripped body and this bag can hold two gripped bodies and lots of gear. Nice job Think Tank, well done.

I have used these for a number of years. They can handle a Canon 500 f4 with a 2X teleconvertor mounted to a camera body. It's a tight fit but it does fit. The main reason I started using one before I got the 500 lens is that it carries a laptop computer. This comes in handy when I fly.
