Tenba Roadie II Large Rolling Photo/Laptop Case
The Tenba Roadie II Large 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 17” 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 U.S. domestic airline carry-on standards, as well as the standards for many international flights. 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 Large 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, four-section retractable tow handle and heavy-duty, ball bearing wheels.

Comments about Tenba Roadie II Large Rolling Photo/Laptop Case:
I have been looking for a rolling camera bag which can carry my 600 mm f/4 lens for the last several years. I bought many camera and travel bags but none satisfied my needs, until I saw this bag on one of the photo magazines. I checked this out in one of the camera shops, and right away thought that this is it! Finally.
The bag is adequate to carry my gears. I do not need to have very strong reinforcement pads, since I do not check my bag in when traveling. It is relatively lighter compared to other bags.
Really happy to have bought this bag.

Comments about Tenba Roadie II Large Rolling Photo/Laptop Case:
Perfect size for my 2 dslrs, laptop, lenses, cables, pocket wizards, and other misc. equipment.
My back is saved.
Everyone thinks it is luggage containing dirty clothing, not $15,000 worth of gear.

Comments about Tenba Roadie II Large Rolling Photo/Laptop Case:
I compared it with the Lowepro Pro roller, midsize. Tenba's pro features: Lot of volume (perhaps +25% in comparison) (I do not use separation bag/suitcase),
Tenba's cons: not as rigid as Lowepro
Simple, no gadgets, but it does perfectly what it is made fore.

Comments about Tenba Roadie II Large Rolling Photo/Laptop Case:
I love this bag but there are a few flaws.
As mentioned from the previous reviewer, the padding is a bit thin but it is reenforced with a strong plastic on the walls. It will hold up to being "checked-in" but a last resort. Besides if you're traveling with camera goods... You would get to the airport or check in early anyways to get a good seat and overhead luggage.
Why I love this bag is it saves your back from carrying large a,punts of equipment. It has pockets everywhere although I wouldn't put my laptop in the laptop compartment.
I'm 6'1", so the extra long roller handle is really nice with the addition of the user replaceable skate wheels.
What it fits:
-5D mkII w/ battery grip, hand strap, Really Right Stuff L-bracket 24-70mm hood reversed
-5D mkII w/ battery grip, hand strap, Really Right Stuff L-bracket 70-200mm II hood reversed
-3x 580EX II
-24-105mm L hood on
-24mm L hood on
-50mm L hood on
-85mm L hood on
-Black Rapid DR 2 & RS 7
-2x PocketWizard FlexTT and 2x MiniTT
-Apple laptop charger
-Xrite passport and ExpoDisc
-2x camera batt chargers
-2x AA chargers
-4x ThinkTank AA battery cases
-memory card wallets and reader
Highly recommended but I wouldn't ever check this bag at the airport... Even if it was a Pelican case.

Comments about Tenba Roadie II Large Rolling Photo/Laptop Case:
I bought this case because I had a Tenba Roadie Universal (original version) which I love. I assumed the II version of this line of rolling cases would be improved. To my dismay, although well designed ergonomically, it no longer incorporates the stiff outer wall that keeps other luggage/cargo from causing deformation. If you travel by air, sooner or later you will be required to gate check your gear and if it is in this case, all you can do is hope.
Upon inspection, I immediately returned this case. To the credit of B&H Photo, the return and replacement was facilitated without a problem. I replaced it with the original Tenba Roadie Large which I'm very happy with. Bottom line, if Tenba advertised this case as a car carrier only I'd have no problem with it. It does meet the stated airline size requirements for carryon. It does not meet the real world requirements unfortunately. I've owned several Tanba cases over the years and have been happy with all of them. In my opinion, they need to rethink this one.
