## Description

The Shimoda Carry-On Roller v2 is a premium travel solution built for photographers who need reliable protection and fast access while moving through airports, mountain towns, and remote shooting destinations. Finished in Shimoda's Black colorway, this roller delivers an efficient on-the-go workflow with exterior pockets for quick access to essentials like a passport, phone, or travel documents, and an interior compatible with Shimoda's modular Core Units. Built with rugged 100mm all-terrain wheels and a heavy-duty extending handle, it rolls smoothly across uneven pavement, gravel, or rough travel surfaces. The wide doctor bag-style opening provides unobstructed access to your camera kit while maintaining a compact footprint when open or closed. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Shimoda’s modular Core Unit system, the Carry-On Roller v2 can hold up to a Large DSLR Core Unit (sold separately), allowing complete customization of your interior layout. Full-length side panel pockets accommodate water bottles, accessories, or travel essentials, and compression straps can secure a medium tripod externally. Constructed from lightweight carbonate-coated ripstop nylon with water-repellent performance, this roller is carry-on compatible on most international flights and built to support demanding outdoor photography travel.

Review: Great for general use too! - Purchased as a general use suitcase instead of for photography and I gotta say, this is fantastic. Definitely smaller than your average 9x14x22 cloth bag with zippers and expansion but if you're looking for something unique, duffle-able and with really solid wheels then this is it!
Review: Just what the doctor ordered! Carry more with much less effort! - Sometimes you just don’t want to carry around the Shimoda Action X70 but you need all of that space, and then some. I almost bought the original Carry-on Roller a couple of years ago but kept putting it off. I’m sure glad I did! I ended up buying the DV roller to accommodate my complete GFX setup and a 2 strobe kit. The larger DV Roller easily handles all of that and more and the result is the ability to bring more options on location with me without the pain penalty. Just transitioning the mass from my back to the ground is a huge relief but adding 50% more gear carrying capacity has benefitted me by way of opportunities to be more creative. The design is premium from top to bottom, inside and out. The wheels are chunky with an airless suspension surrounding the axle, giving it a smooth, quiet ride. Speaking of the axle, both wheels have a thru axle that’s supported on both sides with the bag’s frame, upping the durability factor and making them easily replaceable when worn. The bag has a full internal chassis both top and bottom, to support the base and opening system, respectively. It also allows it to stand straight up without leaning or falling over. The trolley handle is a 2-stage setup with 3 levels for a total of 4 different heights, all controlled by the single lock button that also locks the handle in the closed position. The bag’s maw opens smoothly after unzipping and allows you to insert core units directly, loaded or empty. There are also 4 full length, zippered pockets along the sides of the interior and a concealed zipper to open the lining for servicing the frame and wheels. Speaking of pockets, there are 2 large exterior pockets that can even accommodate light stands or tripods. They have a zip closure and integrated drawstring. Lastly are the strap anchors arranged around the exterior so you can easily strap even more directly to the exterior of the bag using Shimoda’s available accessory straps. While too large to use as a carry on, the DV roller is perfect for protecting and transporting large kits wherever you plan to go and easily doubles for non-photographic stuff if you want a travel duffel. It’s a little pricey, especially if you factor in one or more core units, but the ability to convert it for a wide range of uses further adds value. Plus, the use of durable materials and user serviceable design ensures longevity and letting the bag pay for itself in the long run. Just taking the weight off of my back and putting it on wheels will save me thousands in medical costs alone. If you have a dodgy spine or history of back injury, you owe it to yourself to get one of these rollers. And if you don’t, get one to help prevent injuring your back for the future. Of the few “Doctor bag” rolling duffel designs available on the market, the Shimoda seems to be one of the cheapest while being one of the best designed for longevity. So whether your reason is to avoid injury, carry more, or save the planet by reducing waste, any of those three excuses can be used to justify buying one.

**Q: Is this supposed to come with a core?**
A: No it doesn’t

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice if it's what you are looking for.
*by J***W on June 1, 2023*

I wasn't sure about this at first because it's not very big but once you realize how much you can fit it in vertically (if you aren't picky), it's hard not to fall in love with it. I love the convenience of basically being able to see everything all at once. I wish I could fit more stuff in the side pockets (ie tripods), but all in all this is a big win for getting the weight of your gear off your shoulders. It's also nice that you can easily pull your gear out and use it for regular travel in seconds...which is a lot harder to do with other bags that have tons of dividers and pockets.
