From very early on this blog has been a big supporter of Think Tank Photo bags because I believe them to be the best bags on the market – PERIOD! However, there’s still plenty of people who believe that competitors bags are just as good, so I’m pleased to point to you some great whitepapers available on the ThinkTankPhoto site that might assist you in your purchase decision:

- Top Six Points When Choosing A Roller
- How Modular Belt Systems can Alleviate Bodily Aches and Pains

Free Bags for readers of this blog!
One of the problems with the special offer in the past was that the bags available changed from time to time, and sometimes the selection would be limited to as little as only one item. To prevent this problem in 2010, the kind folks at Think Tank Photo have updated the program to always include a choice of one of the following four bags. This means when you place any order over $50 (see below), you’ll get your choice of one of these cool products – for free:
Cable Management 20 – This bag is great for holding all of those miscellaneous cables in one handy place – especially useful for those doing video as the number of cables seem to grow exponentially!
Lock It Up - Accessory cable lock with combination.
Modular Pouch – This bag is handy for holding your phone, gadgets like a two-way radio to talk to your crew, Pocket Wizards, and more.
Pixel Pocket Rocket – This one is great to have on you (especially wedding and night photographers) when you are on the go and find yourself switching cards on the fly. You can find your cards quickly and avoid getting dirt on the contacts, plus its large enough for a nice system of “used” versus “unused” to avoid the disaster of accidentally formatting a card with pictures on it. I have a couple of these and love em (see my review here, about halfway down the page).
Security Tag – Of all the choices, this is the one I like the most – in fact, I’d like to have one for every piece of luggage I own! This is a tag with a unique serial number that you can register at http://www.thinktankphoto.com/lostandfound_registration.aspx that has a durable connector and is designed to survive even the most moronic goons at all the airports of the world. If your bag gets lost, there’s a mechanism for the finder to reach you. More importantly, if you’ve lost your bag and had to deal with the hassle of the Airport Lost & Found (where your gear might be there, but you’ll never get it back), you’ll find having a picture of your tag and a unique serial number as invaluable mechanism for them to have clear evidence that your bag belongs to you. This tag can’t be cut off easy, so the chances of theft behind the scenes go way down.
