Sadly a couple of dealbreakers.
on January 7, 2026
Posted by: Dinsdale
The many positives for this carry-on is overshadowed by a few greatly overlooked issues when it comes to carry-ons.
The Roller Pro looks amazing and has an amazing internal layout. The wheels make it effortless to move it around even on uneven ground and the drawbridge opening makes the trip through the security checkpoint and general use easy
It is however nearly 4kg, taking up nearly 50% of the allowed weight limit on most airlines. Just putting a camera with a lens or a laptop with a heavy power brick can force you to just fill the rest of the volume with just air, maybe a few socks and underwear.
It will also fail the size check on nearly EVERY european airline. It's height and depth is oversized. Due to the size alone this can become a 600$ headache not including the extra baggage fee that you might get. I've already failed this check once, but luckily avoided the fee on a short haul route.
I sadly bought this without checking the measurements because I've gotten so used to any serious luggage company having this locked in. If I could make the buying decision again I would wait for a v2 or a Roller Pro Lite. The size problem alone isn't something you should expect for a carry-on at this pricepoint.

Designed by Photographers FOR Photographers

I backed this at Kickstarter and it immediately became my favorite carry on. As an avid photography enthusiast, I travel with 3-4 film cameras (mostly medium format) and my Hasselblad x2d. Having a luggage that was so obviously well developed & thoughtfully designed by photographers is something that is 100% evident in the Roller Pro. Even the security at the airport said my carry on was cool hahaha
I would recommend this to a friend!

Incredible

I love this bag. I just took it on 2 trips. The way the bag holds packing cubes efficiently and has space for a laptop, phone, and keys while going through security is great. The bag roles smoothly and easily. Is easy to pick up from any side while navigating steps or cars. Bottomline... worth it. Well engineered and well made.

Smooth rolling delight

We bought this last month, and my wife immediately took it on a trip to visit her mother. The bag was a delight to use, with the exception that the zipper wouldn't stay closed. We warrantied it and immediately got a new one.
We love the internal space and the smooth rolling. It's hard to explain how nice it is for the bag to just move with you instead of constantly freaking out and rolling all over the place. It's almost like it's on autopilot. Traveling is hectic enough these days without the added hassles of bad luggage.
We also love all the handles. Makes it so much easier to get off a carousel or in and out of a trunk without having to find a place you can grab.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fun travel bag!
on December 24, 2025

Bought this roller bag to be my forever suitcase. Used it on a short trip recently. Love how roomy it feels inside and all the pockets for stashing stuff. And love how it rolls! On a smooth surface, you only need one finger to push it along. Downside would be the weight of the bag empty. Its a bit heavy for me, once packed. But if feels luxurous and sturdy at the same time. One suggestion would be to add a nicer luggage tag. I bought a colorful bird tag.

Nearly perfect bag

I bought all three colors (one for each of us in the family) during the initial campaign. I love, love the roller bag! It's so easy to pack, the extra space is a game changer. This summer I used the bag for several trips, car and train. Last week was its first debut at the airport where I discovered the wheels are almost too good, as the bag sometimes sped away from me. Fortunately I figured out how to use that to my advantage. Need two hands to zip up a jacket in the airport? No problem, keep walking and just give the bag a firm push. It rolls along next to me as I zip my coat.
There is one small issue that nearly caused an international incident at the Spanish - Gibraltar border ;-). I had put the top handle of my everyday backpack (V1 20L tan) over the roller handle so it would be upright. At the border I could not separate the bags because of tiny corners on the roller handle were just big enough to keep the backpack locked on. Fortunately after watching me struggle with it for several minutes, a friendly Spanish agent helped me wrestle it off. My husband has a V1 20L gray bag and his leather handle fits perfectly so he had zipped through the border wondering what happened to me.

Useless if you plan to travel by plane
on December 12, 2025
Posted by: Tati
I was seduced by all the features presented in the campaign and I found them great. But I was shocked by the weight when received it. It’s almost 4 kg + 1kg insert for photography equipment. The majority of airlines only allow 8kg, so, you ve got only 3kg left to put your camera, lenses, laptop, etc etc. Impossible! It makes it totally useless for traveling. It looks good though if you don’t count on it for traveling by plane. Except the poor quality noise when you open it… I’m so much disappointed with this expensive purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
