Tenba Roadie Air Case Roller 21

Tenba Roadie Air Case Roller 21
  • Product Code: ga45504
  • Availability: In Stock

$1,319.85 $1,834.59

The Roadie Air Case Roller 21 from Tenba is a rolling camera case that is designed to be stylish, meet the carry-on requirements for most international as well as US airlines, and is built from ultra-durable, shock-absorbing components. Should the need arise, the Roadie Air Case Roller 21 and its contents can be safely shipped or checked-in at the airport. Crafted using a thoughtful design and minimal branding, this case also features a distinctive appearance without drawing unwanted attention to the equipment inside.

A large, 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 Air Case Roller 21 can fit two, gripped DSLR camera bodies with a 400mm f/2.8 lens or eight to ten smaller lenses, along with flashes and accessories.

Together with the adjustable dividers, a removable insert is provided that can also help partition equipment inside the Roadie Air Case Roller 21. 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.

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. Additionally, an integrated add-a-bag strap consolidates other luggage along the front of the case for easy transport of multiple carry-ons through airports, hotels, or parking lots.

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.

Nylon construction throughout provides the bag with a high degree of weather resistance and enhances its 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 when needed, and if they wear out over time, the wheels, wheel housings, foot stands, and telescoping top handle are user-replaceable.

Tenba Air Cases feature a multi-layered skeleton of air-channeled plastic panels, high-density foam, molded framing components, and a reinforced outer shell. They are strong enough to stand on, even when empty, and are built to meet or exceed Air Transport Association shipping standards.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can it fit 2 x Gripped Bodies (D810/D850) comfortably with all the lenses? The photos shown seem to just have 1 gripped body, and 1 non-gripped body on its side, so I don't know how 2 pro bodies can fit well

A: Depends how many lenses you carry. It re-configures quite easily so you can fit 2 pro cameras in the bag but you'll loose the lens space of course. It's a great sturdy bag and rolls easily. I wouldn't trade mine.

Q: 2. Will a Sony FX6 with top handle and lens attached fit inside?

A: Yes, the Sony FX6 with a top handle and lens attached will fit in this case.

Q: 3. What is the purpose of the ring on the front of the Tenba Rollers? Seems like it is in an odd position for attachments or luggage tag. Thanks in advance.

A: The ring on the front of the Tenba Roadie Air Case Roller 21 is used for luggage tags, as well as other possible identification displays when working as a roadie.

Q: 4. Anyone had any trouble carrying this on a flight?

A: While the Tenba Roadie Roller 21 dimensions do not exceed the average carry-on size of 22 x 14 x 9", certain airlines have differing requirements for carry-on sizes.

Q: 5. Will this fit a Nikon 400mm f2.8 with Z9 and FTZ adapter attached?

A: Yes. The following unit will accommodate a 400mm f/2.8 lens or eight to ten smaller lenses.

Q: 6. Is the shell of the Roadie 24 as rigid as the Roadie Air Case Roller 21? In the images, the shell of the 24 seems thinner.

A: The Tenba Roadie Air Case Roller 21 would offer thicker padding over the Tenba Roadie Roller 24.

Q: 7. There's no mention of a compartment for laptop (or laptop size). Please clarify. ?

A: Because of the unique hard case that can support up to 400 pounds, it does not have a compartment for a laptop or tablet. As much as I loved the case when I received it, I ended up returning it and will get the Hybrid version instead

Q: 8. Will a Nikon Z 70-200 S 2.8 will stand up "comfortably", i.e. not protrude to the point where it needs laying flat? Thanks :)

A: Yes, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Lens can stand up vertically in the Tenba Roadie Roller 24.

Q: 9. Two different wheel designs are shown in the wide and closeup photos. Which wheel design does the case actually have?

A: Our apologies. We'll check the photos and get that fixed. The wheels on the Roadie 24 are the large 100mm shock absorbing ones with the aluminum trim. This case has larger, more all-terrain wheels than the smaller carry-on compatible Roadies.

Q: 10. Can a ad300 pro fit vertically

A: Yes, the Godox AD300 Pro fits vertically inside of the Tenba Roadie Roller 21.

Air case protection in a good-looking package, what more could you want? I guess some external storage, but that's moot if you're already carrying other cases or a backpack for your laptop. The air case build is probably not worth it if you're not expecting to do much travel, since you lose a bit of space with the extra thick walls. But it fits more than expected with room to spare, rolls very well, and the handles and zippers feel great. A really nice step up from some of the competitors out there, and within the same price range.

I bought this Air Case to take on a trip to Norway, Greenland, and Iceland where we needed to take a lot of large telephotos, night lenses, binoculars, etc. It was great! My wife and I are both Fuji X shooters, and I was able to put most of our heavy glass in the roller case, including:

2x100-400mm Fuji zooms
2x70-300mm Fuji zooms
Fuji teleconverters
Fuji 16-55mm/f2.8
A big Sirui 24mm/f2.8 anamorphic
Binoculars
Cleaning and chargers in another small Tenba case
Universal L bracket and secondary ball head for use with Peak Design tripods
A bunch of small stuff not shown

The case easily fit standard overhead bins on all of our flights. It is also super tough and built like a rock.

The worst thing that happened was on the way home.

As I paid the cab driver at Keflavik airport in Iceland for our ride to the airport, he pushed the hatch release mechanism ... which was immediately followed by the sounds of thunk, thunk, thunk ... WHAP as the Tenba Air Case rolled down the other luggage and out the back of the car. 


I was still in the cab, as was the driver, and my wife had just opened her door. However, everything survived the 3 foot drop to the concrete without any damage. While I do not recommend anyone else trying this, I am obviously super happy with this Air Case.

In the future, I've decided to put the Air Case in first instead of last. If it is on the bottom of the luggage pile, the Air Case (rated for 400 pounds in any direction) will easily support one or two normal suitcases.  That way, if something falls out of a cab, it won't be the Air Case with a bunch of camera equipment.


Regardless, this is the best travel case I have every seen!

I love this case. It fits all the gear I need for my photoshoots and the wheels roll very smoothly through airports. Fits into most overhead space compartments and when it doesn't I am happy to check it since it is built very well with a rigid protective layer. If you are a traveling photographer I recommend this case.
