An international travel bag that can fit the z 180-600

[wassa1957]

At present, I have the Tamrac Orange backpack but intend to take my z 180- 600 and the fit is not good.
I'm looking for a backpack that obeys the size rules for Aussie planes (international size).
Any ideas for an update? Please.

ThinkTank Backlight 26L fits my Z9 and 180-600 easily and is fairly small. My NYA-EVO 60C easily carries this and more, but is larger (but still carry-on sized if you don’t over stuff it). I’m sure there are many other backpacks that can hold the 180-600.

I have a Vanguard 32 case liner that takes the z8, z160-600 plus another…I’m thinking the z24-120 and 24-200. It fits a standard sized back pack

edit: FYI it took a Z8, z180-600, z24-200, plus Hasselblad X2D with XCD38V. Weight still under 6kg

I use a Think Tank Photo Essentials Convertible Rolling Backpack. I’ve carried my Z9, 70-200, 180-600, and 24-70 f/2.8. I don’t know if it will meet Australian rules for carryons but it’s worked well for me.

Yep, it’s a great bag and the size fits within carryon limits but it weighs 3.3 kg before you put anything in it. 7 kg carry on limit in Oz.

That's the theory but we both know no one obeys it, except with new staff. I'll never put my photography gear in cargo.

Nya-evo 36 with the large insert will fit just fine and easily meets carryon size.

I've been happy with a Vanguard 49T rolling bag packed with the Z9 / 180-600 combo (has room for Z8 body and other lenses) and haven't had any problems with fit in overhead bins. I bring along a backpack or sling bag of some kind for day to day activities. It is nice to be able to roll gear heavy around airports, etc.
