I got my Roller Pro via the campaign on Kickstarter. It is really well made and very functional. It really moves like a charm over nearly any surface including cobble stones. Only down side: it could be slightly larger, not much, but just a little extra would be great for me.

Needs 2 roller blade wheels for serious travel.

IMO Design is not quite there - it's the spinner wheels that prevent me from buying.
We currently use Osprey Ozone which has 2 wheels, roller-blade type. We have traveled to many cities, hill towns and villages in Tuscany, Norway, Germany, Spain,etc. and all those broken pavements, gravel paths, stone cobbles, curbs and steps don't stop our bags. Spinners are great for smooth pavements and airports, but - IMHO - spinners do not cut it in many, many places in Europe. To me, in the 2-wheel mode, the wheels are just too small and light for normal use in those locations. I have seen people carrying their spinner luggage in their arms across rough pavements. I have a nice photo of a spinner wheel ripped off and lying on the pavement in Bergen. I really think 2 wheels are the best.
Don't get me wrong,spinners look sexy - marketing videos of people effortlessly spinning them 360 or gliding along in the airport. Maybe great for road warriors, business people who spend a great deal of time in airports, but I don't travel to spend my time in airports. Yes, we used to do backpacks until a few years ago; but approaching 75 we need wheels, and sturdy wheels that will hold up in the places we go.
Given how the bag opens, with the solid base, this might be a useful mod. So PD, how about the Adventure version of this luggage?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy to travel with and roll
on January 14, 2026

I've had many different roller bags from the big luggage names, but none of them have traveled as easily as this one. The wheels are amazingly smooth and easily turn in different directions. Even if the bag is heavily weighted down with camera gear, it rolls and turns very easily, making travel and navigating crowded areas much easier than bags with wheels that roll less well when heavily weighted.
That alone makes so much of a difference in ease of travel!

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
on January 4, 2026
Posted by: Ais
from Manila Philippines
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

Incredible
on January 1, 2026
Posted by: Jeremy
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.
I would recommend this to a friend!
