The Roadie Roller 24 from Tenba is a stylish, rolling camera case that is designed to comfortably and securely carry your mobile photo studio. Crafted using a thoughtful design and minimal branding, the Roadie Roller 24 features a distinctive appearance without drawing unwanted attention to the equipment inside.

A spacious, main compartment with adjustable dividers can hold a complete kit for many photographers, while the interior of the main compartment lid features four, clear mesh panels for easy identification of their contents. The Roadie Roller 24 can fit two, gripped DSLR camera bodies with a 600mm f/4 lens or eight to ten smaller lenses, along with flashes and accessories. Alternatively,

this camera case can successfully accommodate a DSLR camera kit along with the components of a portable lighting kit. Other configurations can be dedicated exclusively to lighting equipment, or cinematography cameras and lenses.

Together with the adjustable dividers, a removable insert is provided that can also help partition equipment inside the Roadie Roller 24. Upon reaching one's destination, the insert is transferable to a separate shoulder bag or backpack to further cushion a camera, plus two to three lenses for on-the-go use. When used with a separately-available Tenba Tools Packlite Travel Bag for BYOB 10, the removable insert installs with a precise fit.

On the exterior of the case is a pocket designed specifically for a separately-available, portable battery bank. Smartphones, computer tablets, or laptops can be quickly and conveniently recharged when in transit, while a drop-in tripod carrier allows camera supports to be strapped to the side of the Roadie Roller 24. Additionally, an integrated add-a-bag strap consolidates other luggage along the front of the case for easy transport through airports, hotels, or parking lots.

Aside from being able to comfortably hold photo gear, the case's zippered front pocket organizer provides storage for pens, business cards, passports, airplane tickets, as well as small electronics, and features a padded sleeve with an interior divider for most 17" laptops. The laptop sleeve is positioned so that its contents can be readily accessed, whether for faster processing through airport security or to maximize work-related productivity during travel. Four handles are included for flexibility while transporting or moving the case, a two-stage telescoping top handle, a leather-trimmed non-telescoping top handle, a side handle, and a bottom handle that makes it easier to pick up and place the case into airplane overhead bins or into car trunks.

For peace-of-mind in crowded settings, a built-in TSA-approved combination lock secures the main compartment zipper. To chain the case to an immovable object such as a pole, an integrated, braided-steel side cable is included along with an additional TSA-approved combination lock.

A honeycomb internal frame with nylon construction throughout provides the bag with a high degree of weather resistance and overall durability, which is further complemented by wheel housings that help protect the reinforced corners of the case from impacts to escalators and curbs. A rain cover is included for even more protection from the elements should the need arise, and if they wear out over time, the wheels, wheel housings, foot stands, and telescoping top handle are user-replaceable.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. If you have had the bag for a year or more how has the telescoping handle held up? I have heard complaints that it is very cheap?

A: Typically the handle holds up fine over time.

Q: 2. What is the difference between the Roadie Hybrid Roller and the Roadie Roller? Both seem to have backpack shoulder straps.

A: According to the manufacturer, the Tenba Roadie Hybrid Roller 21 has a Fast-Deploying Backpack Harness which allows the Roadie to be carried comfortably when the terrain is not "wheel friendly," such as on stairs or over sand or dirt. The Fast-Deploying Backpack Harness is not listed as included with the Tenba Roadie Roller 21. The Tenba Roadie Roller 21, B&H # TERR21B, instead has a Quick Access Battery Pocket, which is a rear zippered pocket that can hold most common portable batteries for charging mobile phones and other portable devices. Twin zippers allow cables to be easily threaded out of the pocket. The interior of the Tenba Roadie Hybrid Roller 21 is slightly deeper. The interior dimensions of the Tenba Roadie Roller 21 are 12W x 17H x 6.25-7.75D in. (30W x 43H x 15.8-19.6D cm), whereas the interior dimensions of the Tenba Roadie Hybrid Roller 21 are 12W x 17H x 6-7D in. (30W x 43H x 15.2-17.7D cm). That being said, both cases appear to have identical exterior dimensions, and all other specifications are identical.

Q: 5. Will the case carry 2 full frame 500mm F4 300mm F4 TC and a small lens along with laptop ?

A: The Roadie Air Case has some design changes that are required in order to make it shippable and airline checkable. One of those is that there is no laptop sleeve on the front since the laptop would be crushed in transit when buried under checked airline luggage in the belly of a plane, or boxes in the back of a UPS truck. This is the only Roadie without a laptop sleeve.In regards to your question about the lenses, both should fit easily. The most common 500mm 4.0 lenses have a diameter of 5.75 inches, and the case depth is 6 inches.

A: This bag will not hold a flash upright unless the flash head is at a 90 degrees angle.

I am looking for a roller bag to carry 2 full frame bodies 500mm F4 300mm F4 TC couple of small lenses? At the same time I can take the roller as carry on or check in without worrying about damage to my expensive equipment

A: They all have the same exterior dimensions and are international carry-on compatible.The Roadie 21 and Hybrid 21 have the same rigid construction and are nearly identical. The Roadie 21 has a pocket for a battery on the back, and the Hybrid has backpack straps. That is the only difference. Both will fit a laptop in the front sleeve. The Roadie Air Case 21 is the only case of its kind in the industry. It has a super-rigid, patented wall construction that allows it to be shipped or checked as luggage, just like a typical hard case, but at a fraction of the weight. It has similar features to the other Roadies zipper lock, security cable, tripod pocket, add-a-bag strap etc. but it does not have a laptop sleeve in the front. However, not only is it the only Roadie that is checkable as luggage, it is the only case like it in the world. If you check YouTube or Vimeo or the Tenba website, you can watch a video that shows the difference between the three models. All three will fit the gear you described.

Q: 10. Does the Roadie 21 have the straps to hold the lid open?

A: Yes, the Tenba Roadie Air Case Roller 21 has straps to hold the lid open.
