This is the perfect travel bag for the serious photographer who has multiple lenses and other paraphernalia to bring along on a trip. The ability to zip off the frame and carry as a backpack is a great option! You can check the frame at the gate on smaller aircraft and still carry on the backpack without having to trust your valuable equipment to the baggage handlers.

The Lowe Pro Roller x200 Camera Bag is a very good bag, handling two cameras and about six lenses with flash unit an charger. Also can hold a lap top up to 17" but I would be more inclined to take a smaller size lap top for weight and possibly a less tight fit. There is more protection for the camera gear than the lap top. Also, it wasn't hard to get the bag to go into back pack mode, that was just to unzip a zipper. The problem is, of going back into the roller case is tough! It's a tight squeeze linning up the two zippers, since the roller case isn't that pliable. Also, there is no padding for the backpack straps as with regular Lowe Pro Camera Bags. Other than that, a good bag to get you on the plane & to your hopefully non hiking destination.

I got this to replace a Tenba carry-on size case. The Tenba had thicker and more overbuilt dividers and zippers. This one on the other hand is just more useful. Laptop pouch is fine for hauling around, but puts the laptop near the outside of the case and more susceptible to bump damage. If you don't use the laptop portion though, it is a very solid case with room for a week or longer photo trip worth of stuff (4 lenses, 2 bodies, 2 flashes) The screw socket in the handle of the case is a great emergency tripod, or more likely an extra mount location for a remote flash! The kickstand is nice, but not horribly stable. There are more pockets in the Tenba, but this case will fit in all airline overhead bins, while the Tenba had trouble on some (MD-80) bins. The backpack portion of the case is removable. It's there if you need it, but frankly I would not want to haul gear using the backpack for long. If you really need to haul it on your back, a dedicated photo backpack will do a more comfortable job.

UPDATE 3/11: A feature I didn't think was all that important turned out to be very valuable. A fright I had was on regional jet (CRJ900) which has smaller than normal overhead compartments. The option to check a bad with thousands of $ of lenses and cameras was not one I wanted to take. So I simply removed the soft inner backpack portion from the hard shell and was able to fit it in an overhead bin. I was going to check the bag itself, but since almost everyone checked their carryon already, there was plenty of room in the overhead bins, and amazingly the hard outer shell ALSO fit in the overhead bin. Both bag parts just barely squeezed in so the backpack in the hard case configuration would not have fit, but separated they did. As a result not only did I have my camera gear with me in carry-on, but I also got to not wait for my checked carryon unlike most people on the flight.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Pro Roller x200 Camera Bag (Black)

I just LOVE this bag! It's designed so well, as is most ALL Lowepro stuff. The rolling action is so smooth. The compartments are perfect for my two bodies, two flashes, 70-200, 24-70, 10-20 & 100 lenses, remote triggers, and many other little accessories. I already consistently use almost every feature on this bag including the cable lock, TSA combo lock, every compartment and accessory pouch, the angled foot, tripod holder on side, in-handle flash mount, you name it. This bag is a must for any location or traveling photog with multiple bodies, flashes and lenses. What a great investment. Thanks again, Lowepro.

One word...perfect! I'd been lugging my gear around in multiple shoulder bags for a year now. Never could remember what was in what bag. I realized I needed to have a a rolling cart but couldn't see paying a few hundred dollars for it. But, finally broke down and purchased it and I should not have waited so long. The bag is well constructed...take that back, it is a professionally constructed piece of gear. Well thought out, easily customized, and holds a ton of gear actually glad I didn't get the bigger bag since fully loaded this one is just right and any more weight you really should consider not taking that much stuff! I used it a month ago to shoot a 30-year reunion. Rolled in, found the D.J., parked the bag in this area so he could watch it and spent the night shooting and coming back for battery changes, lens swaps, etc. End of night packed it all up and rolled home! So, even if you don't intend on using this for airplane travel, it's a great setup just for around-town shoots. Everything is there, throw it in the trunk and you're good to go. As I said, why did I wait so long....
