Product Information
Full details
The Tenba Roadie v2 Spinner 21 Air Case is designed for photographers and filmmakers needing a versatile, shippable, and uncrushable gear solution. Its key benefit is offering flexibility between carry-on and checked baggage with robust protection. A potential caveat is its carry-on size, which might require checking for some airlines or configurations. This case is a carry-on sized rolling camera bag that can be shipped or checked thanks to its removable laptop protection board, converting it into an Air Case. It accommodates up to three camera bodies, long lenses, accessories, a 16-inch laptop, and a compact lighting setup.

FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the Tenba Roadie v2 Spinner 21 Air Case?
The dimensions are designed to meet most international carry-on size requirements. Please refer to the specific product specifications for exact measurements, as these can vary slightly based on airline regulations. It's always recommended to check with your airline prior to travel.
How do I convert the case to an Air Case for shipping or checking?
To convert it to an Air Case, you simply remove the dedicated laptop protection board. This board is designed to be replaced by the laptop itself when used as a carry-on, allowing the case to be safely checked or shipped without the laptop inside.
What is the maximum laptop size it can accommodate?
The case is designed to carry a laptop up to 16 inches in size.
Can the backpack straps be fully detached?
The backpack straps are part of a convertible harness system. While they can be adjusted and secured for backpack use, they are integrated into the case's design. Refer to the manual for specific instructions on managing the harness when not in backpack mode.
Is the exterior material waterproof?
The case is constructed with durable, weather-resistant materials to protect against light rain and splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it's advisable to use a rain cover or take extra precautions.
What kind of warranty does the Tenba Roadie v2 Spinner 21 Air Case come with?
Tenba typically offers a limited warranty on their products against manufacturing defects. Please consult the warranty information included with your purchase or visit the Tenba website for specific details regarding the warranty period and coverage for this model.
Troubleshooting
Wheels are sticking or not rolling smoothly.
Check the wheels for any obstructions such as dirt, debris, or tangled threads. Clean them with a brush or cloth. If the issue persists, a small amount of silicone lubricant applied to the axle may help.
Zipper is difficult to open or close.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper pull back and forth. If it's stiff, apply a graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based zipper lubricant directly to the teeth.
Backpack straps are uncomfortable or difficult to adjust.
Ensure the straps are correctly attached and adjusted for your body size. Refer to the product manual for detailed instructions on harness adjustment. Make sure the weight inside the case is balanced.
Case does not feel secure when checked or shipped.
Confirm that the removable laptop protection board is correctly inserted and secured. Ensure all main compartment zippers are fully closed and any external straps or latches (if applicable) are fastened. It's recommended to use additional protective measures like TSA-approved locks or luggage wraps for checked baggage.
