ENDLESS OPTIONS

When we received the GigaPan Epic Pro, we had no idea how we would transport it. Odd sized
and bottom heavy, it was too large for most any bag we could find. We considered a backpack,
but the weight of the unit was just too much.
Think Tank’s International bag has long been the mainstay of our gear. Any time we travel,
we pack all of our camera gear in them. We were fans of the design, but there was no way we
could make this bag work for the Epic Pro. Enter Think Tank’s Airport Navigator.
Much smaller than the International bag, this bag’s design is very well thought out. As Figure
1 shows clearly, the contents of the bag are accessible from the front and the side. As you can see,
the GigaPan Epic Pro has more than enough room, and by inserting an additional divider (we
have removed them all for the purpose of this article), the unit would be safe and secure while
being transported. Speaking of which, there is a collapsible handle at the top—same as or similar
to the handle on the International bag—and this feature makes transportation easy.
Storage is more than ample. Figure 2 shows the front zippered storage compartment as well
as the smaller zippered pouch on the top. In figure 1, some of the interior storage is visible. The
zippered mesh at the top is particularly helpful for storing memory cards, batteries, and smaller
cables. And, of course, there is a rain hood for the bag. Trust me, it can come in handy.
Even when carrying a lot of camera gear, access to everything inside is quick and easy.
Like all Think Tank bags, the Airport Navigator is well-built and well-designed. Got some-
thing unusual to carry? This is your bag.
