Product Information
Full details
The Tenba Roadie v2 Roller 24 is designed for professional photographers and filmmakers who need to transport a comprehensive location kit, including multiple camera bodies, lenses up to 600mm, lighting gear, and a 17-inch laptop. Its primary benefit is the hybrid design that converts from a heavy-duty roller to a backpack, offering unmatched versatility for diverse travel environments. A key caveat is that even with its efficient design, the large capacity means it can become quite heavy when fully loaded, necessitating awareness of airline weight restrictions.

FAQs
Is the Tenba Roadie v2 Roller 24 TSA carry-on compliant?
While it is designed to meet the carry-on requirements for most international and domestic airlines, always verify with your specific airline as size and weight restrictions can vary.
Does it include a rain cover?
The exterior is crafted from high-density ballistic nylon which offers excellent inherent weather resistance, but it is always recommended to use an additional waterproof cover in heavy rain.
Can I remove the wheels?
The wheels are integrated into the frame for durability and structural integrity, and they are not designed to be user-removable.
Will my 17-inch laptop fit in the compartment?
Yes, the case is specifically engineered with a dedicated, padded sleeve to fit standard 17-inch laptops.
How do I hide the shoulder straps?
The straps are designed to fold into a dedicated rear pocket that zips closed when the bag is used in rolling mode, keeping them clean and out of the way.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or uneven when wearing as a backpack.
Adjust the tension of the straps using the adjustment buckles and ensure both are clipped securely into the designated D-rings to balance the weight.
Wheels are not rolling smoothly.
Inspect the wheel wells for trapped small rocks, sand, or debris; clear away any obstruction with a blunt tool or compressed air.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile conversion from roller to backpack
- Extreme interior capacity for large kits
- High-grade materials offer superior protection
- Shock-absorbing wheels ease transport on uneven ground
- Secure, padded compartment for 17-inch laptops
Cons
- High capacity can easily exceed airline weight limits
- Larger footprint may not fit in overhead bins of smaller commuter planes
- Heavier empty weight compared to non-rigid cases
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To configure the case, start by mapping out your gear and adjusting the interior dividers to fit the contours of your camera bodies and lenses. Place heavier lighting components and long lenses toward the base of the roller for better balance. When converting to backpack mode, ensure all zippers are fully closed and the shoulder straps are securely clipped into their anchor points.
For care, wipe the ballistic nylon exterior with a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the water-resistant coating. Regularly check the wheels for any caught grit or debris to maintain smooth rotation and prevent surface damage to the shock-absorbing material.
