Rolling/rucksack camera bag - suggestions?

[Ari]

Bit of a long shot, I need a roller camera bag for airports and whatnot. Has to be able to comply with hand luggage sizes.

Thing is, I often end up crossing London by tube to get to some airports so the ability to carry it like a rucksack would be hugely beneficial.

I've found this, which is almost perfect:

But it weighs nearly 5kg, which seems a lot. (Well made though no doubt, I have a Think Tank bag at the moment which is excellent, altohugh a shoulder type bag).

Just wondered where else/what else was worth a look or for thoughts generally?

What about this from 7dayshop ? lot smaller than your example, but also lighter (3kg)

No experience, just remembered seeing it on one of their mailings.

http://www.ukdigital.co.uk - they may have the wheeled ones as well in their incoming shipment, due 1st week of August.
Fire them an email to find out for sure.

Excellent suggestion, thanks. Half the weight of the Think Tank.

Another good one, although maybe a little small.

Quite often I fly out just for a day or two so helps if I can squeeze a washbag and some spare pants in there, saves lugging a case as well and waiting for it to be unloaded.

I've got a lowepro photo hatchback AW 22L which does the job perfectly for me

That looks excellent, but it's back up to nearly 5kg.

Looks like I might have to just bite the bullet on the weight...

Two different bags you've linked there - the X is the wheeled version.

Thanks for clarifying , wasn't clear on the websites

Another one from 7dayshop just came into my inbox, probably too small for what you want
