I first purchased a a Tamrac photo back pack and sent it back the next Day.I wasn't happy with the quality. [...] this Lowel Pro, bag and I am so happy he did. It is durable, roomy, comfortable and extremely innovative. Love that locking system and the hidden back pack...how cool is that?. I have finally found a great quality Photo bag that holds all of my equipment.(3 SLR's, 70-200mm,4 macro and various lenses, as well as all my chargers, Batteries and accessories.) The Box is solid, and made extremely well. Much taught was put into this bag before it was brought To the market...Well done Lowel Pro. Buy this bag you won't be disappointed.

I have purchased lowepro for all my lenses, bags, and now the roller.
I was going on a trip for vacation, and wanted to take it for travels to museums, acquariums, and even a bit of mountain climbs, (Back pack comes out of roller!)
Here is my experience with it brand new:
A) The Good
* TSA lock - beautifully executed; odd though, each way on the flight, my wife's bag was checked and the usual TSA inspection was found upon arrival - mine was not opened at all...uumm.. maybe TSA lost the keY? hehe
* Inner lining zips out - I wasn't hauling anything illegal in that inner lining, but i popped all the padding/dividers out of the inner compartment, and put them all inside the liner; used the case as luggage (all my clothes for the trip) and carried all my lenses and camera in a backpack on the plane (also a lowepro :) ) - note: the carry-on size limit was 45", this bag exterior is 54"... so i couldn't take it as carry on... but when i got on the plane, i saw sooooo many people who's "carry on" was muuuucccch larger than the lowepro. I could have carried it on. Risky though. didn't want to arrive at the airport at check in to find i had to check my equip as underplane luggage. :(
* Grip is outstandingly soft, wheels super quiet, Tripod side/front mount awesome.
* The rear bag prop - holds the bag at a 45 degree angle when needed (changing lenses) so you don't have to lay it down on the ground to change lenses. I put it to heavy use :) indispensible feature in my book.
* best of all took all my lenses and camera everywhere. (10 lenses and gripped DSLR).
In heaven on vacation
B) The BAD
*The zippers were sooooo hard to zip, I was almost certain it would break during the trip ( it didn't ...but at the cost of this piece, i shouldn't have have to treat it with kid gloves)
* one zipper did not have the loop to hook the lock wire through, had to use the end of the zipper...kind of cheezy...made me wonder if the item was a refurbished unit (though it was sold by a reputable source, and not sold as used or refurb)
* The Tripod holder was too small for even 2 full tripod feet... had to stretch the elastic over by hand to keep it in place
* The tripod holder holes to slip the holder belts are made of very thin leather...so thin, that after 3 days, its already ready to break
* TSA LOCK - No clear instructions included with the lock... just picture instructions. Okay, maybe Im a dunce, but it took me 15 minutes of trial and error to figure it out without using the non-helpful pics on the "so-called"instructions.
* The Rear Bag-prop that holds the bag at 45 degrees when changing lenses - should have a metal liner and metal on the end that touches the ground... but its made of card board, only padded by the outter roller material. After 3 days, it is scraped so severly that the material is unraveling on the end. It is also unstable - it does not lock into place, you'll have to bend it by hand/foot outward and let the weight of the bag create torque to keep it open...cheezy
* biggest, terriblest, saddest disappointment.... really big let down.... after 3 days of carting 10 lenses around, the wheels are worn down so far that they have become lopsided... add insult to injury - the shaft that holds the wheels has bowed downward from the weight.. and has caused the bottom plastic to drag on the ground and scrapped so badly that there is almost a hole in the plastic. It looks like i've had the bag for about 3 years... seriously... but its only 3 day trip.
Okay, so there's my real life review after 3 full days of use with LowePro's Roller x300.
In summary:
If you only intend to use the bag from time to time, its perfect; if you only intend to take a few small lenses quite often, the bag is maybe overkill, but perfect.... BUT... with the cost of this model, who spends this kind of money to use it seldomly, or only carry a couple lenses?
While the bag has the potential to be "killer" (in a good way), the poor overall quality of the bag was a "killer" for me - made me feel I got a knock off with the LowePro name. (The Quality of the other items I've purchased from LP were so far higher, and cost so much less... I'm wondering if i did indeed get a knock-off".) maybe B+H can look into that.

Comments about Lowepro Pro Roller x300 Case:
This Roller basically stays at my studio holding lots of gear in a central location. I will take it on occasional shoots.
It's large, and generally well made. I love the organizational pockets, the tripod holder and large wheels.
Even though this weighs a ton, I would by no means consider this heavy duty pro level equipment. The telescoping handle is down right flimsy. If I took these to all my shoots then I know it would last a couple of months tops. While I love the concept of the folding prop foot in the back, it is completely way too flimsy and delicate considering the weight that is being held against it.
What I am using this roller for, it will suffice, and I like it. However, if you are planning to haul it around a lot, you may need to look elsewhere.

Comments about Lowepro Pro Roller x300 Case:
These cases are strong , but heavy, very well padded (maybe too much), roll easily, one holds a Sony PMW EX-3 professional hi-def video camera with a shotgun mic and shock mount, wireless mic kit, LED video ligh†, batteries and all accessories and the other holds a Nikon D700, a D7000, 80-200mm 2.8 lens, 24-70mm 2.8 lens, 4 other lenses, SB 900 flash, batteries , cards and many accessories. They are versatile, sturdy and like all the other LowePro bags and cases I have owned very long lasting and durable.

I am a wedding photographer who's back was seriously about to give out. This bag has saved me hundreds in Chiropractor bills. It fits everything I could possibly want to bring to a wedding and more. And I love the option to use it as a backpack on the plane. They thought of everything.

This is a great way of getting all of your gear with you from point a to b. Rolls great although will probably change out wheels to rollerblade wheels just for longevity. The bag holds both of my camera bodies, eight lenses, and multiple flashes. Great design...keep up tht great work Lowepro!

Talk abut being able to put all your ducks in one basket. This is a fantastic case for the working pro or avid amateur. Plenty of room. Lots of dividers and sturdy construction. It will be heavy with all your gear in it, but that's why it has wheels.

Comments about Lowepro Pro Roller x300 Case:
I was given this case as a present at the beginning of this year (2011) from someone thoughtful enough to check my B & H wish list.
I use this case every day and it has replace a smaller Tamrac bag that I use to use. It comfortable carries all my equipment as a working and travelling pro sports shooter. 2 x1D bodies, 400mm f2.8, 16-35mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm, 3x 580 EXII speed lites, 3x pocket wizards, battery pack for speed lite as well as various cards and cables.
I find the case to be sturdy enough to protect my equipment yet still very manoeuvrable. Zippers seem to strong as well as the handle.
One big problem however has been the wheels. After only a short time (6 months) the wheels have completely worn out. Lowepro talks about removable wheels but does not allow you to buy replacements. Their back up and support has been less than helpful. My solution was to head down to the local inline skate shop and buy some heavier grade wheels that fit the case perfectly.
Outside of the Wheel problem I find this case to be a winner.

Comments about Lowepro Pro Roller x300 Case:
This camera bag is big enough for all my equipment. It's ease of use and everything at your fingertips. I photgraph dog shows, ex: obedience and agility trials. My equipment has to be mobile and ready to go at all times. Best investment I made. Previously I had to carry at least 2 camera bags, now I have it all in one. Being able to roll it anywhere is so much better than having to carry it. The quality of the bag is wonderful.

Comments about Lowepro Pro Roller x300 Case:
This case holds everything I own. I mean everything. I couldn't live without this bag now that I have it. I don't travel, I generally put it in the car and drive to where I'm working, so I don't know how well it does in an airport situation. But it's pretty dang durable so far for how I use it.

Comments about Lowepro Pro Roller x300 Case:
This is a solid elegant product from Lowepro. It is the best product from them I have ever owned. They make some of the finest carrying gear available and this has to be one of their nicest products. It comes with adequate dividers for anytime of system you may be carrying. The bag is finished very nicely and there are lots of nice little details throughout.
I have had some zippers fall apart on me on some of the smaller lower end bags and I can already tell this will not be an issue with this case. This case is their top of the line. If you are going to carry your laptop, you may want an additional neoprene sleeve around it for protection. This probably isn't needed, but better off safe.

Comments about Lowepro Pro Roller x300 Case:
The case is very solidly made, the padding is decent, and it's roomy. But it's not made for air travel because it's way too heavy on its own, but rather as a storage box in your car. For that purpose it's very well constructed. I've currently stowed a Nikon D700 with a 24-70 f2.8 attached, a Nikon 14-20 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8, 18 mm f2.8, 24 mm f2.8, 28 mm f2.8, 35 mm f2, 50 mm f1.8, and 85 mm f1.4 along with several battery chargers, filters, an Epson External Storage Device, and other small gadgets in the case. It holds everything comfortably and securely.

Comments about Lowepro Pro Roller x300 Case:
This is my fourth LowePro camera case. Obviously, the great advantages of this model are capacity and wheeled mobility. I do a lot of corporate video shoots, where protracted, multi-trip load-ins would be counterproductive. This guy holds everything, plus has lash straps for tripod and light stands.

Comments about Lowepro Pro Roller x300 Case:
I use this as a gear case for HD SLR video shoots. Traveled by plane for it's first use. It is too big to be a carry on. So it was checked. The flexible storage inside worked great for all the gear I needed and the thick padding kept everything protected there and back. It is great for keeping everything organized and at your finger tips. The fold-out leg on the back is great for accessing your gear without laying it down flat. Only downside I've seen so far is that it already shows ware from it's first tip as checked luggage. Just cosmetic. It's no hard-sided flight case, but I knew that when I bought it.
