Product Description
This bag combines a well-balanced rolling system with the flexibility of a backpack. The lightweight and strong, single pull handle system and sealed-bearing inline skate wheels provide superior performance. When rolling isn't an option, the tuck-away padded shoulder harness and waistbelt turn this versatile bag into a comfortable backpack. A removable padded notebook sleeve can be used alone or placed inside. The main camera compartment includes adjustable padded dividers, a removable accessory pouch and laminated-mesh pockets. Also included: a built-in memory card pouch, a movable Tripod Mount, our patented All Weather Cover, SlipLock attachment loops made from Hypalon and Batwing compression straps.

Just Buy It September 11, 2008
Anyone traveling with lots of camera gear should own this bag. I have many Lowepro bags and I use this one 90% of the time. Unless I am actually going on long hikes, I am rolling this bag everywhere.
Fantastic workmanship & protection March 24, 2008

You get what you pay for with this bag - lots of secure storage for your equipment. It is quite a LARGE bag - it will easily handle your camera body, 1-2 large lenses, and another 2-3 smaller lenses plus flash and other assorted odds and ends, plus your medium to large size laptop, and cables and even a portable hard drive. As others have said though, this is not a bag you would necessarily want to carry on your back or take out on the trail once your get to where you are going. It also appears to be right on the edge of what would be acceptable for carry-on luggage - if you weren't carrying anything else, you could probably handle it ok. For my purposes it was too large, so I sent it back, but I will tell you I was tempted to keep it because it is such a well constructed and durable bag. I went with this larger version as I have a 15.4" laptop - and it could have easily accepted a 17". I do think though that if I had a smaller laptop I could have gotten away with the smaller version of this bag and would I would have kept it as I can see where this bag is ideal for keeping all of your "tech" gear together when you travel.
All my gear fits! March 7, 2008

My computer (Toshiba Satellite) fits fine and the Canon 40D with EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS attached, EF 70-200 2.8 L IS and EF-S 10-22 packed with room for more.
I am a Lowepro fan and purchased this bag over others based on that. It is larger than I expected but easily holds my computer and camera gear. Lowepro and other reviews say it meets carry-on size and that is what I am looking for. I'll get to test it in 2 weeks on a trip to Hawaii.
There were several dealers offering this case for the same price. I went with MZ Photo as another review reported fast shipping. I ordered on 2/27/08 and got it on 3/6/08 on the west coast. Quite a bit slower than Amazon Prime 2 day delivery. Too bad this is not available directly from Amazon.com. I am pleased with the product and don't have any complaints about MZ Photo I just wish it would have gotten here faster.
The bag of my dreams February 27, 2008

I wanted a bag that would hold my camera gear, particularly a long lens (300mm f/2.8), as well as my laptop. The main purpose of the bag would be for air travel. For car trips, it's easy to toss two bags in the back. And for hikes, I probably wouldn't bring my laptop. But with airlines cracking down on the number of bags per passenger, I wanted everything in one bag.
I first tried the Kata R-103 GDC Rucksack, but it wasn't big enough. My Dell Inspiron is 14" x 10-1/4" x 1-1/2", and it didn't fit.
I tried the next size up, the Kata HB-207 GDC Hiker Backpack for DSLR system or DV/HDV camcorder. (Insertrolly optional). It's an immense bag - so large I can't imagine carrying it for long. But my laptop wouldn't fit in it, either.
So I started looking at Lowepro. The Lowepro CompuTrekker Plus AW Camera Backpack (Black) was squarer in shape, rather than tapered on top like the Kata, so it seemed more likely that my laptop would fit. I went over to the Lowepro site to check the specs (Amazon's are often incomplete, or even incorrect), where I saw that they also made a version with wheels. Perfect!
I don't know how I missed this bag before. Perhaps I overlooked it because Amazon doesn't carry it. I ordered it from Amazon seller M Z Photo and got free shipping and delivery in two days - as good as Amazon Prime. ;-)
And yes, at last, my computer fits! There's a pocket in front that holds a removable laptop sleeve. While the sleeve itself is too small, the computer does fit in the pocket. I can use the padded laptop sleeve without closing it (the outer pocket zips up easily around it and provides plenty of protection), I can put the laptop in without the sleeve, or I could buy my own sleeve that does fit. (If you don't understand what I mean, there are photos on the Lowepro site that show what I mean.)
The bag is well-made and well-designed. It's bigger than I expected, but it does conform to carry-on rules. At least if you don't overstuff the outside pockets. It's too large to fit under a seat, but should fit nicely in the overhead bin.
As others have said, this really isn't suited to carry as a backpack, though they give you the straps to do it. The roller mechanism makes the bag heavier than a backpack needs to be, and not terribly comfortable to wear. I will probably keep the smaller Kata bag to use as a backpack and daybag. Pack it my suitcase and take it out once I get to my destination.
So far, great product January 14, 2008
Will be traveling with this product next week, so that will be the proof. So far, I like it. I needed something that could handle a fair amount of underwater camera equipment, plus a notebook and I wanted to roll it. The quality is good.
