Product Description

The Big Wheels Rolling StrongBox LP2 is an excellent, all-purpose rolling case for two digital SLRs with lenses attached, multiple additional lenses, flashes and lots of accessories. A foam-padded front pocket offers protection for most 17-inch screen laptops. This carry-on compatible case offers excellent mobility with oversized, ball-bearing wheels for an optimum ride. The ballistic nylon outer shell and rigid, plastic-armored walls combine with full foam padding inside to provide the toughest and most versatile camera case you will find anywhere. Inside, foam-padded dividers are completely adjustable to fit your specific equipment needs. Two Windowpane-Mesh pockets inside the lid organize filters and other small accessories. When the telescoping handle is locked open, you can slide a Tamrac bag featuring our Piggy-Back Pocket feature over the handle to provide a completely new level of travel mobility. Tamrac's Modular Accessory System (M.A.S.) attachment slots allow complete customization with our optional M.A.S. accessories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent design, easily rolls across fields, difficult terrain, November 15, 2007

I first put my Big Wheel to use on a multi horse farm assignment. The case is a trooper on mixed terrain, even mud. The interior layout is very useful for organization. As usual with cases, don't believe that you can pack as many items as advertised. If I tried to pack two bodies (Canon 5D and Mark III, I could not get my 100-400 L lens in the case. Without the second body, I could pack the telephoto, three other lessor lenses, and hoods if stacked.

As far as air travel, I was able to put this case in the overhead bin of of a 767, otherwise it did not fit, even with the laptop removed. I got away with putting it under the seat in front of me (fitting only with the laptop removed) on two flights with aisle seats, but could not get it under any other seats. I would not consider the case sufficiently padded for check in of my equipment, so this could be a problem.

As far as everyday use and auto transportation, I love it!

I don't think this case would stand up to the rigors of a professional toting a kit around, but for a hardcore enthusiast (and me!) it seems pretty good so far. The big wheels are quiet over sidewalks and don't even notices little bumps and cracks and whatnot.

Pros:
- holds a 17" laptop
- sized for airline carry-on rules
- divider arrangement quite customizable
- can hold two bodies each with a (non huge) lens mounted and a pile of lenses and other stuff.
- decently padded (i would not check this with my gear in it, though. No f-ing way.)
- pull-behind handle is *quite* long and sturdy, so long-legged folk such as myself don't kick it while walking.
- fairly light (I have had multiple non-photog specific carry-on bags that were heavier with less padding, less sturdy, etc)

Cons:
- expensive (worth the cost increase over the model 5552 for big wheels? I dunno.)
- not easily adjusted to accessories (for instance, the shallow depth to keep it carry-on size doesn't allow a Speedlight to be placed standing up)
- no spots for standard digital accessories (no CF pockets, no Battery pockets), only the six 4" square pockets on the underside of the 'lid'
- no tripod loops (though I rigged something on one of the sides where the MAS stuff can attach with some strapping)

This is a great camera case for transporting camera bodies, lenses etc. I think the beauty of this bag is that the appearance does not screem "PHOTOGRAPHIC GEAR INSIDE". It looks like a normal small clothing travel case. It also meets international luggage standards for Carribean flights.
