Amazon Basics has a quite good rolling bag that will easily hold what you need at a very reasonable price.

Think Tank Photo Airport V3.0--Comes in both a domestic and an international version. Fits in overhead compartment. Expensive, but a great bag.

I have a Think Tank navigator bag. I love it. I love that I can put 2 cameras with lenses in, and just open the top to remove them. I don't have to lay the bag down.

Also look at Lowe. I just their ‘450’ rolling backpack for air travel w/light hiking trips sandwiched in. Also stated to meet carry-on size limitations. Very well built bag.

I actually got a rolling hockey bag, and use it to carry around my old camera bag, plus the tripods and lighting equipment. The hockey bag is the right height for the light stands, and the old camera bag provides sufficient padding to protect the cameras.

I own two different Think Tank bags that might meet your needs. I have some other, older ones but the TT are my favorites. The larger one carrys my 400/2.8 MOUNTED to my D5. Best of luck. PM or call for any other info.

This may not thrill some purists but after several unsuccessful experiences over time, I purchased a quality wheeled carry on and Tenba padded zipped compartmentalized cases and made my own. Works great and have a carry-on for no photo trips.

I second this recommendation for the same reason: I can get to both cameras without laying down the bag. I use it for my Fuji XT-3 and XT-2, usually with the 100-400 attached to the XT-3, the 50-140 attached to the XT-2, and the 16-55 in between, so I have access to a full range of lenses from the top. I keep smaller primes below, but they are still accessible with the side only partially opened. I secure my prime lenses with additional elastic straps so nothing falls out when I open the side with the case in the upright position. I emailed Think Tank asking to purchase these additional straps and they sent them to me free of charge! Now that’s customer service!!

I have three other Think Tank bags and highly recommend any bag that fits your needs. Very high quality!!

I travel all over the world constantly. I have a Think Tank rolling bag, but my favorite bag for rugged and durable use is absolutely the Pelican Air. It has fallen from the back of a van, been on many boats, tipped over and you name it. As I was horrified, everything stayed perfectly safe. It fits into the overhead bin, even on smaller carriers. I have been to Myanmar 5 times and fly on Air KBZ and it fits. I have two bodies and carry 5 lens and everything else. I love that bag.

I want to say thanks to all the club members who took the time to answer my question about a rolling camera bag.

I have used Manfrotto Rolling 50 bag for five years. Check your size requirements against airline allowable dimensions for carry-on baggage. Manfrotto now has 50 to 70 series bags for around $300-$350 (B&H). Holds more camera gear than you would need for most trips, 2 camera bodies, lenses galore, adjustable pockets. Best recommendation- check the wheels before you buy. You want them to last.
