Excellent roller backpack!!

Excellent rolling travel backpack. It's quite heavy though so make sure you check your airline's policy for travel - especially in Asia and Africa. The backpack pocket that holds the straps also bulges excessively and so I'd love to see them make it with a full-length pocket so the straps would sit flatter when stowed.

Excellent bag

I received this bag as a gift. Lucky me. It is definitely a keeper: very well made and sturdy, capable of holding a lot of gear, and offering excellent protection of said gear. The zippers and the handle operate smoothly. And the outside computer compartment is zippered. The bag is a little heavy for me to lift into an overhead compartment on an airplane (I am an unmuscular woman), but I wouldn't trade protection for less weight. I compared this Tenba bag to the Lowepro Pro Roller. It was less expensive than the Tenba, but it showed. The Lowepro zippers had trouble rounding the bag's corners. The handle would only retract if I jiggled it just right. And the outside computer compartment was not zippered. A laptop could slip out if the bag were turned upside down. (That may be a low risk event but it's not a zero risk one.)

Great bag, hopefully the quality holds up...

I've used this bag on only one gig so far, and it's great, lightweight, love it! The only problem is that at the end of an 8-hour workday, one of the wheels came off (again, this was the FIRST time I'd used it). The wheel just screws back in so I was able to fix it myself right away, but I hope this isn't a recurring problem.

Perfect size - fits DSLR, lenses and laptop!!

This case is the perfect size for your DSLR, lenses AND laptop! I easily packed a D750 and four lenses into the case with room to spare and the separate laptop compartment made it easy to remove when going through security. I also really liked the clear zipper pockets on the inside for cards, batteries, and miscellaneous items. This is a great rolling case that fits easily into the overhead bin!

Durable and Sturdy

This bag hold 2 of My DSLR cameras and with some maneuvering I can probably get a 3rd in there but I would have to remove the lens. With 2 cameras I have 4 strobes, (and there's room for about 4 lenses.) But I use the added space for other accessories. you really can configure this bag and it may take some time to figure out a configuration that suites your personal needs. I wish there were more outside pockets. The inside pockets are a bit tight but it can hold camera batteries and other attachments. I like to keep my camera manual in my case as well. I did find a spot for it but it too was a bit tight. This bag is perfectly built and very sturdy. With all my gear I'm glad it has wheels. I'm up to over 50 lbs of equipment and the have does not buckle or bulge like some other lesser bags. The only complaint is I wish it had more attachable packs. that's the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. I would highly recommend this bag to be of 5 star quality and build. Very comfortable to roll around.

It has wheels and plenty of handles. Easy to move about and enough hand holds to carry about.

Excellent all around case

I purchased this case to store the bulk of my gear and to take on the road. Accommodates my Nikon D600 with battery grip and D7000, Nikon 18-200mm, Nikon 70-300 mm, Nikon 12-24mm, Nikon 35mm, Nikon 50mm lens, 2-SB-800 Speedlights, 2-Phottix Strato II flash triggers with transmitter and other accessories including my 15" Macbook Pro. I have used it recently on trips to Chicago and NYC and it fits easily into the overhead storage compartment.

Great choice for Safari Photo Gear

Used this for a three week safari in Botswana, Zambia, and South Africa with Nikon D300 and D7000 and, Nikon 28-300mm, Tamron 200-500 mm, Nikon 14-24mm, and Nikon 35mm lenses. Easy access for MacBook Air, iPad, and all the accessories. Fit easily under small jet seats and on bush planes between safari camps. Camera gear was heavier than my clothes backed in one duffle, but rollers made the Tenba the perfect choice.

YKK Zippers
YKK makes the best zippers in the world. Period. They are more reliable over a longer period of time and they withstand the stress of heavy equipment and the abuses of travel. And we only use the self-healing zippers with specially designed zipper coils that easily reconnect if they separate from over-packing.

Water-repellant Nylon
Nylon is more rugged, water- and tear-resistant than polyester, that's why it's used in all of the best outdoor camping, hiking and travel gear. A nylon exterior ensures that Tenba bags are built to withstand serious professional use and the rigors of heavy travel, yet they remain extremely lightweight.
