I found that rolling case TENBA Roadie 638-325 Everything would be just perfect, big, not too expensive, laptop space, thats all I need... then Im reading reviews: Bag is good, big.... and then I see that people saying that case is great but is NOT Airplane friendly and few people had to check case to becasue is too big to take it as a carry on and it does not fit the overhead

Any experience with that bag ?? I need rolling case, and I want to take it on a board of plane, Im kind of lost, I don't want to risk....

If not this case do you have any idea which should I get ??

2 gripped bodies 5d
Lenses Canon: 70-200, 100-400, 17-40, 24-70, 85
all kind of accessories
Would be helpful if I can fit Laptop screen up to 16'' however this is not necessary I can have laptop in my backpack....

Im trying to not spend more than $250.... I see a lot for over 250 unfortunately nothing under.....

I also can get a Think Tank Airport International V1.... any help ?? Please.... I fly jetBlue Domestic flights, however Im not flying a lot....

Rolling Casy only, Airplane friendly Cases Only....

What happened to the Pelican idea?
The 1510 is perfect from what I can tell of your load and will fit in planes and is cheaper than you have said too?

no I don't want hard case.... why this f.... bags and cases are so expensive like it's not enough that I spent **** load of money on cameras and lenses.... I must have a rolling case, thats the only thing Im sure right now.... I was hoping to not spend over $100 when I was looking for bag but now I know $250 if Im lucky.... TENBA Roadie 638-325 is just perfect for me.... but I can't risk my flight because of the stupid case....

You realize that the case you linked to is discontinued, right?

Tenba has replaced the Roadie line with the Roadie II. I just got a Roadi II Universal, which is their midsize rolling case.

Tenba says it fits on domestic and international flights, which is why I got it. It's a great case and will hold all the gear you mentioned above. It's more expensive than $250, though. But worth it IMHO.

Currently $250 ($50 off), Cdn though...hope this helps. Check out Adorama and B&H...
Good luck!

I don't own the bag; had quality issues with the first Tenba I bought from Vistek that were not resolved.
