Camera bag with wheels

[keithholden]

Age is catching up with me and carrying a bag around is becoming more of a problem. I'm looking for a good quality bag with handle and wheels. Any help gratefully received.

Whatever you get I suggest you don't take it into the FRIAT stand. There were quite a few suitcase size camera bags blocking aisles and walways on what was an already crowded area.

I realise it may be sacrilege on here but I don't do FRIAT.

I'm using a Think Tank Airport Navigator. https://snapperstuff.com/products/airport-navigator-2583.

Contents : 7DII with 100-400 MkII, 5DII with 24-105, 70-200 2.8, 1.4 Converter, 4 spare batteries, rain cover, scanner, and the usual bits and bobs, plus Laptop in front flap. It's not the cheapest, but I looked at a lot before going for this, and plan on using it for years. So far I'm very pleased with it. Love the top and side access. Not great on long grass, but on tarmac / concrete it's the business. My second choice was a Peli case https://peliproducts.co.uk/1510-protector-case-1998.html?gclid=COqQs4GO-s0CFe4y0wodPi0Aug, but the wheels are smaller, and it's noisy. It survived the monsoon at Farnborough last Monday no problem at all.

Dave. Many thanks for your input. I currently have a ThinkTank and was drawn towards their roller. As you say they are not the cheapest but when you consider what we put it in worth the outlay.

I have literally just bought this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/PhotoSEL-BG501-Roller-Camera-Laptop/dp/B015TJK3GC/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468780090&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Photosel+BG501

Contains Nikon D500 and D7000 bodies, Nikon 200-500mm, Nikon TC1.4 III, Nikon 18-300mm, Nikon 12-24mm, Nikon SB-800 Flash, 2 x spare batteries, spare SD cards - also space for my MacBook Air 13" in a neoprene case (not supplied).

Not much space for anything else apart from tickets and passport in front pocket!

Haven't used it in anger yet....but it seems sturdy and wheels along quite well. Also fits all airline carry on restrictions, including Ryanair and EasyJet..
