Tenba Roadie II Compact Rolling Photo/Laptop Case
The Tenba Roadie II Compact Photo/Laptop Case (Black) is designed to carry and protect a medium sized professional D-SLR camera, HD video camcorder or medium format camera system. It also holds a laptop sleeve containing a computer with a screen up to 15” plus documents and accessories. Large D-SLR camera bodies with mid-range zoom lenses can be stored standing up; super telephoto lenses will fit with their hood and tripod collar in place. The case meets international airline carry-on standards and it even fits under many full-size airline seats. It has a front briefcase compartment that holds cables, hard drives, documents, pens, keys and other accessories. The photo section features fully adjustable/removable, padded dividers, and can be configured to accommodate a D-SLR with mounted lens up to 300mm f/2.8.
The Compact Roadie II has top access to the computer sleeve that can help speed through airport security. The quick-connect tripod carrying system will hold virtually any size tripod or light stand tight to the case for travel. A quick release tripod collar stows away in the rear pocket when not in use. There is an exterior front pocket that holds an included 4-pocket media wallet that fits either CF or SD cards, airline tickets, passport or other items. It has large, laminated mesh interior storage pockets for cables, filters, tools and other accessories. A rear pocket includes a steel-braided security cable that can be fed through the built-in, welded steel D-ring; wrapped around anything solid and stationary on location; and secured with an optional padlock.
The Photo/Laptop case is made from weatherproof ballistic nylon exterior, with an EVA molded interior and a heavy-duty tricot interior. The case is transported by a padded, custom-sewn, massively reinforced handle, heavy-duty, five-section retractable tow handle and heavy-duty, ball bearing wheels.

Comments about Tenba Roadie II Compact Rolling Photo/Laptop Case:
I recently bought and used this bag for a transtlantic trip. It is exactly the kind of bag I have been looking for for a long time. Designed with input from well-known National Geographic photographer Ira Block, the Roadie II has plenty of storage space with foam dividers. My Leica kit for a trip like this is two bodies and 5 or 6 lenses, small flash, and a variety of filters, SD cards, etc. plus a Macbook Air, along with chargers, cords etc. I had no trouble getting it all with room to spare. But the case itself is small enough to carry-on (a requirement for me) and easily stow overhead. I think this bag is a home run for Tenba. The larger bags would be more suitable for SLR gear. I would highly recommend this bag
- Primary use:

Pros

Comments about Tenba Roadie II Compact Rolling Photo/Laptop Case:
I was excited by the prospect of using a Tenba rolling case for my Canon gear. After using the Tenba aircases for my Profoto lighting equipment, I thought that quality would carry over to the Roadie II. I was wrong.
Firstly, the case cannot comfortably fit a Canon 5D MkII w/ the vertical battery grip flush with the case closed. Instead the viewfinder prism awkwardly sticks out, leaving a hazardous situation for both SLR and laptop if the case should fall onto its back.
My second issue is the frequency in which the rolling case tips over while traveling. I took it for one day on my commute to my studio and back. The case must have flipped over about 8 times on sidewalk cracks, breaks in the pavement, the wheel chair accessible lip on street corners, and turning corners on sidewalks.
Aside from these issues, the bag is well-made, but a bit too small for my kit.
