StreetWalker V2
I actually have not used this for travel yet. I bought this for an upcoming workshop I will be doing early next year in Costa Rica. I have rigged it the way that I want to carry my gear and found that it holds everything that I need very nicely. It rolls very nicely in all my test runs and appears to be very well made. I like that it has replaceable parts if I should ever wear it out, which I hope to in my travels to many, many places.
Bag is ok but not as practical as I would have hopped for.
So I bought this bag because I wanted to haul more of my camera gear on vacations. The first one I bought, I found a design flaw in the back pack strap flap. When you go to unzip the back pack flap and fold it back, it pulls hard on the zippers and my zipper pulled right off of the track. Think tank replaced my bag free of charge but made me pay to ship it back. My 375 dollar bag cost me 475 dollars which was a bummer. Another thing I noticed after using it is the dimensions stated on the website are undersized and the actual bag is way thicker. If you use this as a carry on bag, know that it is a out an inch thicker and probably would not fit in a bag sizer at the airport unless you compress it. When taking it on tour buses on. Vacation it is to thick to fit in the overhead bin so you will either need to put it under the bus or awkwardly between your legs or on your lap. I had to put I on my lap on two different occasions and it was not comfortable. I carried one body and 3 lenses and my total bag weight was about 28 lbs, very heavy. I wish I would have gotten a slightly smaller and lighter weight bag for my needs.
Bag looks good but might have a design flaw...
I needed a bigger camera bag that had back pack straps but could roll when you go through an airport. I just ordered the street walker which is a nice bag and seems to fit all my camera gear. Overall, it is a nicely constructed bag but the first one I had experienced a flaw with the back pack strap compartment. The back pack strap zippers are a lighter weight lighter duty zipper and when you unzip it and fold the backpack flap back, it really pulls and strains on the zippers. The first time I did it, One of the zippers busted loose off the track with no real way to repair it. Think tank has good customer service in the fact that they swapped it out for me, but really bummed me out to see I had to pay to ship it back. My $375 bag ended up costing me $475. Also, with the back pack straps on the back of the bag, it really bulges out the dimension to about 10" instead of the advertised 9" for those wondering about the actual carry on size.

Normally I put my camera backpack in a carryon suitcase but then I’ve got three items when I put them in the back of a car. So thought I’d try a rolling backpack for a trip to Iceland but concerned this might be too heavy as a backpack. Not at all! I am 5’2” and it fits very comfortably on my back. Not any heavier than a regular backpack. Enough room for a Z8 and Z7ii and three lens and filters. I would highly recommend this backpack!!
I LOVE this bag!
As soon as the Streetwalker arrived, I switched my gear. I took it to photograph eagles in Rock Park in PA and pulled it right along on the gravel and hillsides. The quality is evident. I like how snug it holds my cameras and lens. I am able to store my Tamron 150-600 mm attached to my Nikon D500, which is very convenient. Great bag and worth the money.
