Roll your gear to a shoot??? (Page 2): I found a Trolly Dolly on Amazon. It has wider wheels to get through the terrain and can easily hold my tripod, camera bag, chair, water bottle...

I found a Trolly Dolly on Amazon. It has wider wheels to get through the terrain and can easily hold my tripod, camera bag, chair, water bottle and whatever else I think I’ll need. This is for local shooting only. I would not bother to bring it on a trip where any flights are involved. Then I just pack less and bring my camera bag and backpack.

I have made several of my own design - but this commercial one just came out and I am very impressed with it ! has O-ring seal at the top and handle collapses....

I would put a large form fitting softcase inside.

I have a collection of carts with various wheel sizes and configurations. Some are grocery carts, and some are strollers that I have converted to carrying cameras. These are great for zoo outings, BTW.

I use and highly recommend a Pelican case. Waterproof, nearly indestructible and comes with foam padding and dividers for custom configuration.

Last year I talked with a photographer who told me that he frequently takes two FF bodies with a 400mm f2.8 lens and a 600mm f4 lens.
His solution was to purchase a used jogger-stroller. I would think you would want to find one with wider tires to deal with gravel and pebble-like trails, etc.

This carries a camera bag, a folding change room, a flashpoint 600 Pro, 2 stands, a folding stool, two reflectors, 3 modifiers, laptop and auxiliary battery pack easily.

Best $50.00 I spent related to usage with camera gear.

Here's a short video.

Thanks for the info. Even though I have several roller bags, I just ordered this. Best of luck.

I use a jogger-stroller with pneumatic ball-bearing wheels (3) and it goes thru gravel, grass, mud, sand and anything else I can throw at it. I hauls my 600mmF:4, 2009-500 and 2 full frame bodies and flash equipment and also a camp chair and cooler. Only cost me $30.00.

These wagons are a staple for Travelling Athletics families who bring a day's worth of chars, windscreens and what all else in addition to lunch, athletic gear and toys and photo gear and more LUNCH. It makes the entire parking lot trek a one-tripper. I think for an on site shoot this would be a godsend--especially for BIG lighting, stands, modifiers, wardrobe and a change booth or background tent, etc.

At the end of a day, I'd RENT one for $50.

I bought a folding shopping cart at Aldi for a great price. I primarily use it to bring my lighting gear on outdoor photo shoots. I have even rigged a big beach umbrella to it so that I have instant shade at midday!

For several years I have used a regular carry on luggage piece that my camera bag, along with a couple of large lens, will fit. The bag fits under the seat on a plane and rolls through the airport or the park equally well. That way, when I get to where I'm going and want or need to carry a camera bag, I just take it out of the rolling bag and go on my way. When you use a regular rolling camera bag, you're stuck with it throughout the trip or expedition. I just like the idea of being able to carry if I want/need to . . . works for me.

Take your camera bag with you when shopping for a carry on bag to be certain it is large enough to hold the camera bag plus I always suggest a "spinner" - much easier to roll.

I have one of these when I need to move a large amount of equipment around. It folds flat and the wheels can be removed. It's great over uneven ground.

I use a backpack for normal gear and if I want to pull it behind me I use a folding luggage cart. I think they're about 20-25 bucks now.

I picked this collapsible cart a few weeks ago from Fry's Electronics, with transporting photo and lighting gear, in mind
