I’m not sure what reasonably priced means, but Pelican has a waterproof, hard case one that sells for about $150.00 on Amazon. In mine I carry in complete safety, a Fujifilm X-Pro 1 body with 18-55 lens, an XT-1 with 100-400 mm lens and four other lenses. You might be able to get only on larger body camera with lenses in. Don’t know.

Reasonably priced is another way of saying cheap.

Paying extra for something to do a job you don't need it to do is what?

Be thrifty and don't buy things that cost more only for having the NAME OF THE PRODUCT !

Consider rolling camera bags from Tenba.com. High quality and not exorbitantly priced.

I use Tamrac, some lowepro. Have one Portabrace left which are pro camcorders etc.
i used to have a Meeting company an we used some Pelican cases. Unless your gear is so expensive I would opt for a well paded
soft case. Hard cases are a pain in flying or traveling place to place. I have a medium size backpack format tamrac that is really good.
Weight and profile is a key for me. Don't carry something that is a target for thieves. And their are plenty of them. I love the lowe pro
black sling bag. Easy to carry all day and you can have one body (2 if you want) and a couple of lens with pockets inside for batteries etc.
It does no look like a camera bag. Although lowepro is on the outside. If you are a pro that case might be right. And frankly I look
for more portable gear. I pad xtra with foam where I think it is necessary. Have a shoot in May of a running festival in DE travel by plane.
I will take a Sony pro camcorder PXW X70 small 10 bit full controls. And will now take my Sony RX10 III Bridge camera. 24 600 zeiss lens.
Great for sports. I have a couple of small LED lights etc. Yes their is more gear I would like to take but is is too expensive to risk
for a video and stills on the net. PS- I see you asked for a roll on. I think the vibration and banging around the roll ons take is not good.
Good luck.

No you pay more for quality and something you will still be using years from now when the cheap product has long since been discarded because you were never happy with it.

Sometimes people pay more for name and not quality! Because we don’t have the information of what value product is being put into the case or what it going to be used for, best to give some choices. If you call sometime cheap by price only and haven’t personally use or examined the product what would you call that?

Get insurance on your equipment, inexpensive or expensive case!

I agree with leftj! Quality and durability wins over price.

What do you consider a reasonable price range?

R jay I am not disagreeing about quality, I am disagreeing with purchasing something you may not need or ever need. I have inexpensive and expensive cases which ever is called for in the situation and insurance.
