Designed to Keep Expensive Gear with You

Think Tank designed the Accelerator around the dimensions of most international and US airline carry-on allowances, helping travelling photographers reduce the need to check valuable camera equipment. Airline restrictions vary, so you should always confirm dimensions and weight limits before travelling.

Flexible Gear and Travel Storage

The padded divider system can be configured around a wide variety of professional camera setups. A full-width divider also lets you split the main compartment between photographic equipment and personal items, while dividers with built-in accessory pockets provide additional organisation.

Dedicated Computer Storage

A separate rear-access section accommodates a 16-inch MacBook Pro and 10-inch tablet, keeping your computer equipment away from the camera compartment while remaining easy to reach during travel.

Security and Organisation

Locking YKK RC Fuse zips, an integrated cable lock and dedicated security pocket help protect valuable equipment. Additional zipped mesh compartments, a front organiser and side pockets keep smaller accessories, chargers and travel essentials easy to reach.

Built to Carry Heavy Loads

Padded shoulder straps, an adjustable sternum strap and removable waist belt help distribute the weight of a fully loaded professional kit. A luggage handle pass-through allows the backpack to sit on a rolling suitcase when moving through airports, while multiple grab handles make lifting easier.

TFC's Verdict

If you're travelling with big glass, the Airport Accelerator 41L is the obvious model in the range. The ability to carry gripped bodies and lenses as large as a 600mm f/4 makes it especially attractive to wildlife and sports photographers, while its airline-focused dimensions are designed to help keep that valuable equipment out of checked baggage. It's a big backpack, but that's exactly the point: maximum professional capacity while remaining genuinely travel focused.
