I am in need of a camera bag with wheels for traveling. My back pack gets too heavy running through airports and hauling in and out of motels. The size would have to comply with carry-on bags for flights. I have looked at local camera stores and they don't seem to carry them. I am looking on line, and it is hard to tell what they are really like. Are these a rare item? Thank you for any input or suggestions.

I have a Pelican wheeled case that works well. Here’s the website

Here is a carry on case with wheels.

Check these out. Should be a model to fit your needs.

I have one too. It's what they call airport friendly. I like it for those purposes.

I use a Think Tank Wheeled case. Like it and has some nice security features.
I have two different models depending upon the gear I am transporting.

Look into the Vanguard Alta Fly series. Good quality and good prices. It might meet your needs.

I notice none of the links noted include the weight of the cases cited. The Pelican case I have is quite heavy even when still empty.

Highly recommend Think Tank. They have several that fit the bill. Best of luck.

Replace the camera bag with wheels idea with a new pocket hi quality superzoom pocket or belt pack camera. No wheels needed on the belt pack

I bought a 22 in top-opening, wheeled carry-on ( it is $90 here, but was only $50 from TJMaxx ):

and bought an insert( from B&H ) that happened to fit exactly:

for $120 I have a custom camera case, with pouches on the outside for papers, laptop, etc.
