Production Manager™ 40 V2.0

Production manager 40

Great bag - this is my 3rd one. We fly an average of 110 flights per year with our equipment cases, and “the coffin” is always right around 70 pounds, and my last one survived over two years! Worth the cost to have a semi-hard case with such great build quality that can take a beating. The redesign on the V2 looks like it has a much beefier wheel assembly, and the addition of the aluminum stays should help when it takes big hits from the baggage handlers. Time will tell. I’m taking off a star only because they removed one of the side handles on the new version, and added a pocket with an expansion strap; likely to get ripped or torn off courtesy of the baggage handling, and we really miss having handles on both sides for loading in/out of vehicles. Also worth mentioning that their customer service has always been amazing, and they’ve sent me replacement wheel assemblies when needed. Please bring back the other handle on the next version!

Great bag - not quite up to thinktank quality

I love this bag. It is sturdy and looks great. I purchased this to replace a Manfrotto one that is very similar, but unfortunately I had gone through 3 of those bags over the course of about 9 years. The construction of this bag (thinktank) appears to be superior (love the wheels and frame), however I had to send back my first one after a month of use because the material started to separate at a seam. Thinktank was great with this replacement. Recently, I discovered another tear in the fabric of the newest bag after only about 4 months of use. The material doesn’t look to be the same as what is on my Airport Security bags (I have 2 of these, and one has been abused for almost 15 years with no tears or rips) I want to recommend this bag and I can do that, but just know that this $600+ bag can still have some issues.

Love all my bag from think tank 🥰
