The ALTA FLY 55T is an airline carry-on* compatible four wheel trolley, but converts to a backpack in seconds to cover more rugged terrain, and is designed to face the challenges professional and photographers face when travelling all over the world. Constructed from durable, anti-scratch, moisture resistant materials, this bag is built to withstand years of long-haul wear and tear.
Ultra-secure it features a ‘3 Security Point System’; buckle lock over the external zipper and an internal full-coverage zippered mesh flap, so that you never need to worry about prying hands or eyes. Last but not least it is fully customizable so that you can dictate the content capacity, and when you arrive open up and find the best working tool for the job you came to shoot.
Traveling, or arrived on location and working, the ALTA FLY 55T’s well-padded internal compartment opens fully for ease of use and the multitude of versatile dividers can be adjusted to fit 2 CSCs (Compact System Cameras) with up to 6 lenses, or 2 DSLRs with 4-5 lenses (up to 300mm f/4), a flash unit and multiple accessories.

Large external front pockets with organizer inside will store all you need close at hand when traveling, like a tablet, chargers, smartphone, travel documents, wallet, sunglasses, etc.
The ALTA FLY 55T is an agile four-wheel trolley, with a single bar handle and sturdy top and side grips. It also sports an advanced backpack harness, that tucks out of the way when not in use, and pull out wheel covers to be used when carrying on your back.
