There are any number of camera bags with wheels out there. Something with a seat is another story. I did check amazon.com for a "small portable seat" and found several that fold down to the size of a tripod. Check it out and see of there is something that woks for you.

Please, the smartass answers I can do without. I am reaching the age where carrying even a small bag is taking all the joy out going for a short walk along the fence lines. I find that no matter what camera and lens I take with me there will be a once in a lifetime shot that I have the wrong lens for. So if I had a bag with wheels I could drag along the extra lens, as far as the seat goes, this area in the last couple of years was crawling with ticks so I can't see myself setting in the grass trying to get a good Macro shot. I was just looking through the latest Photo news and I seen a picture of a camera bag with wheels, so maybe a seat is not to much to ask for. Thanks in advance. REJ.

Your reply made my old brain start working, many years ago I bought a two wheel dolly for carrying hay bales around the farm, I still got that and a little bit of welding I will have a seat and I have a backpack that can be strapped to the dolly, I think it will solve my problem. Many thanks for all the reply's. REJ.

Go on to B&H and look for "rolling cases"

I "googled" "rolling camera bag" and found many, however they all have small wheels and you probably want something with at least two larger wheels to clear brush etc. I then searched for Collapsible shopping cart and found a few with two larger and two smaller wheels that will easily hold a small camera bag and a camping stool. Might be worth a look.

In general think outside the box.

Have you considered a portable folding luggage hand truck, like the ones used by flight attendants and pilots? They are pretty compact & light. You can easily carry a folding chair, and camera bag with one of them. I used this type of luggage hand truck when I used to lug my astronomy gear around, without any problems.
Good luck

I have the nanuk 950 Waterproof Hard Case with Wheels. Not sure how all terrain it would be but it is plenty strong enough to sit on and holds a ton. It’s not the worlds most comfortable seat but it’s not bad.

Sounds like a rollator with underseat bag would work. They go for the over $100 used. Make sure it has the largest possible wheels. They are really designed for the mobility challenged senior citizen crowd.

I searched Amazon for this idea...this sounds like a very adaptable idea.
Plus it comes in many colors..

Here is what I use. the bag will fit body, telephoto and 24-120 easily with simple modifications for smaller pieces of equipment. Tripod holster on the side.

Great over bumpy terrain. Makes for a very stable shooting platform.

There are several very strong well-made camera cases that you can sit on that have wheels and an extendable handle. There used to be a hard case called Porter very durable I don’t know if they’re still married.

I understand where you are coming from. I am 79 and have COPD and Parkinson's Disease which creates some mobility issues. I mainly do nature photography and need to get off the pavement most of the time. I experimented with roller camera bags (too small rollers, no seat) and 3 wheeled baby joggers (hold lots of gear, big wheels, but still no seat) and finally ended up with a rollator walker that satisfies the 3 requirements of gear, seat, and a limited off road capability and a reasonable weight and cost. I chose a Evolution Trillium walker from Amazon. It has 8 inch wheels that can be locked, and room for a DSLR and a couple of lenses, portable oxygen concentrator, water, light jacket and a snack. The wheel size is what determines your off the road capability - bigger is better to handle obstacles like sand, rocks and tree roots etc. It weighs ~15 pounds empty and folds up for placing in a vehicle or storage. Now to add a cane holder attachment for my monopod or tripod.

I have been extremely pleased with this setup as it allows me to practice my craft outdoors again!
