FAQs

What is the maximum laptop screen size this bag can accommodate?

The rear compartment is designed to hold a laptop with a screen size up to 17 inches.

Can I use this bag for larger cinema cameras?

The Camera Rollpak is primarily designed for smaller handheld camcorders, Super 35mm camcorders, and DSLR kits. Larger cinema cameras may not fit comfortably or securely.

How does the Sliding Pipe System protect my camera?

The Sliding Pipe System secures delicate equipment, preventing it from shifting during transit, which helps protect it from impacts and damage.

Is the bag waterproof?

The bag is designed to protect against dust and light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. Avoid submerging it in water.

Can the internal dividers be removed completely?

Yes, the internal rigid dividers are removable, allowing you to customize the interior layout to perfectly fit your gear.

How do I switch between backpack and wheeled mode?

To use as a backpack, deploy the shoulder straps from their storage location. To use as a wheeled case, extend the trolley handle and tilt the bag onto its wheels.

What is the benefit of the protective leg system?

The legs lift and safeguard the bottom of the bag from damage and abrasion when it is set down on the ground.

Troubleshooting

Wheels are sticking or difficult to roll

Check the wheels for obstructions such as dirt, debris, or tangled straps. Clean them with a damp cloth and ensure they spin freely.

Backpack straps feel uncomfortable or unevenly weighted

Adjust the shoulder straps and load lifters to ensure proper weight distribution. Ensure the interior dividers are arranged to balance the load.

Laptop compartment zipper is stiff

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or grime. Lubricate with a graphite pencil lead if necessary.

Bag bottom is scuffed

This is normal wear from the protective leg system doing its job. Ensure the legs are intact and functional. For cosmetic cleaning, use a damp cloth.
