I’ve mostly only used the Cork & Fork in airports…I’m not sure what you mean by rough surfaces…like offroad trails? The wheels are certainly beefier than most rolling bags I’ve used – think big rollerblade wheels. It’s also the most stable while rolling that I’ve used…many bags don’t seem to stay upright when rolling and skip or flip around a lot – doesn’t happen with the Cork & Fork….probably because of the bigger wheels and the clearance they have.

You can easily stack a smaller piece of luggage on top of the C&F with the handle extended.

i love the size and the 2 in 1 design of the cork & fork.
the pictures make it look very plush.

well, i am into rugged stuff and care for only this.

i need a rolling case or bag to use over the 3 big parks in orlando in a month. last year, i rolled a kata hb-207 with a trolley insert that was not convenient as there were places with rough surfaces where i had to pick it up by the trolley. a bag with built in wheels would be better.

another issue was the vibration from bad roads. while not many, they did caused my hands to shake and that concerns me over the sony pmw-ex1 pro camcorder i had inside.

how is the cork and fork’s handling on bad roads or you just use it in airports?

last question is whether you can stack another small luggage onto the handlebar while rolling in the terminals.

thanks

I’m looking for a bag that would allow me to carry enough gear for two photographers (my wife and I). Any idea if this would be able to carry three bodies, 2 70-200s, 2 16-35, 2 flashes? Along with some other nicknacks like a 50mm, batteries etc?

Also any chance it could be locked with a thin cable through the zippers just to keep the possible pesky person who just wants to do a quick snatch and grab out of the bag?

I own Crumpler bags and really like the company but I’m wondering if it big enough. The Think Tank Airport international measures in at 13” W x 6.5” – 7.5” D x 18.5” H for its internals. Any idea on the dimensions of the Cork?

Thanks!

There is certainly no shortage of bags for gear depending on the usage and how you want to transport them. What I really liked about this one is that they work together and the camera pullout is able to hold a lot more gear than other bags I’ve used and it’s all accessible quickly.

I use a lowepro for camera gear that I like. It holds a laptop and about as much camera gear and only cost $120. I use a nice baseball bat bag for light stands, umbrellas and speedlights. Seems to work fine for local travel, but I have not tried the bat bag on the plane yet. :)
