Update: Since I took this photo, I’ve been able to buy another SB-600, a pair of walkie talkies, and a walkie-talkie camera trigger last Dec. 2008. The walkie-talkies hang by the side of the bag.
nice stuff! curious though, ano gamit mo sa flash? just the TTL wireless? coz i don’t see a wireless trigger there.
and what pics do you take with the 70-300? mostly outdoor sunny pics? medyo maliit aperture eh
The D200 functions as a master flash for Nikon iTTL flashes (see http://jplui.com/geekmadness/2008/02/06/techno-tokyo-trip-part-3/).
I use the 70-300mm on occasion. It’s ok even in overcast conditions, since I always have a tripod close by.
Hi. Will a D80-sized body with grip attached fit in the bag?
Also, I see that your flashes are standing upright. Will SB24 flashes be able to stand upright in the bag as well (without pouches)?
Lastly, will a 15″ Macbook Pro fit in the laptop compartment (without the sleeve)? I’ve read that it fits but I’m not sure if they were referring to the larger Rolling Computrekker PLUS version.
I’d really appreciate your reply via email. Thank you!

I store my D200 separately from the battery pack. The D80 isn’t that small compared to the D200, so I think you’d also have to do the same, but it would be best to give it a try yourself before buying.
As for the Macbook Pro, it may not fit since I think it can only hold up to a 14″ laptop.
Oh, yeah, the sides are much deeper than the center, that’s why the SB-600 can be packed upright. You’ll have to make a physical comparison, but I think the SB-24 might be taller when the head is pointed up.
Ah I see, the sides are deeper pala. My K20D is about the same size as a D200. So the D200 with grip attached won’t fit in the bag? Even if it’s in the sides (where it’s deeper)?
I’ve been scouring the net to find out if it can fit the MBP without using the included sleeve. I found several people saying it fits but I wasn’t sure if they were referring to the PLUS version. I can’t find a local distributor that’s nearby (I’m from Alabang).
If you can try it out with a 15″ MBP I’d be ever so grateful
Here’s a guy saying a 15″ laptop will fit: http://www.thedigitalstory.com/blog/2006/05/review_lowepro_rolli.html
He seems to be referring to the right bag, he’s got the dimensions right.
Tried it out, the camera w/ grip w/o lens fits the deeper sides, though you may have to configure the pads if you want to store the camera with lens attached since the 2 main pads down the middle are 1 big piece each (see picture).
As for the MBP, I tried putting my old 15″ laptop. The width was just right, however do take care not to put in a thick laptop, or it won’t fit. The MBP should fit right if you remove the included laptop bag.
Looks like this is the right bag for me. Here’s a photo I found: http://www.cambags.com/canon/300d_10_20d/backpacks/images/lowepro_rolling_computrekker_aw/06_37_33_lowe1.jpg
Oh last thing (I hope), I noticed you could strap a tripod on the side. Could you strap stuff on both sides? That’d be perfect for a tripod and a light stand + umbrella.
Many thanks.
Edit from above post: I realized the tripod attachment is on the back like this:

I like this when in backpack mode. However is it possible to still attach a tripod (mine is about the same size in the photo, an 055 tripod) when it’s in rolling mode?
Actually the ones on the side are for additional Lowepro accessories, with the velcro straps, like additional lens pouches. You can only strap a tripod in front. The bad thing is it can’t really bring a tripod when on wheels. Maybe when you’re actually rolling, but not parked.
What I did was to put my lightstands, umbrellas, and lightstands all in one bag which I could fling across my chest or on my shoulder. And if I needed even more space inside, I’d take out my flashes and wear them on my belt.
I hope you can get this one at a good price. It’s really a great bag. But you’ll really have to see for yourself if the size is just right or if you’ll be needing a bigger bag.
Oh sayang! I was excited to be able to strap a tripod on while rolling the bag along. You can’t adjust the holder so that you can strap the tripod in front on wheels?
I have a bag with my tripod + 2 stands + 2 umbrellas. I was hoping to be able to attach the tripod to the bag so I’d have enough space to have 3 stands and 3 umbrellas.
As for the accessories, I’m planning to have a water bottle pouch on 1 side (I drink lots of water), and the utility case on the other (http://products.lowepro.com/product/Utility-Case,2071,43.htm) to put all sorts of doodahs. I found a photo though of the utility case (http://i549.photobucket.com/albums/ii388/lilyrst_photos/uc002.jpg) and it seems it needs 2 loops for it to attach properly. The bag seems to only have 1 loop per side.
I only use tiny prime lenses so a lens case wouldn’t be much help. What can I attach to those slip-lock loops aside from a water bottle, flash, and lens case?
I really hope it’s perfect for me, I’m going to try out the bag myself tomorrow. I’m so excited!
Well, strictly speaking by design you can’t put a tripod in wheels mode. However, I had been able to rig my tripod in front using the bungee cords and some knots. As for the sides, again by design it was only meant for Lowepro add-ons, but I don’t see why you can’t fashion something for your lightstands. In fact, thanks to you, I’m kinda inspired to make a DIY-lightstand holder for the sides using some velcro. IF and when I make it, I’ll be sure to write about it.:)
Hmm, I think I’d like a utility case as well. I’ll check it out. As far as other accessories go, I haven’t gone shopping in a while, but I like your waterbottle/utility pouch configuration. I’d probably get 2 utility cases in the future, and just put my water somewhere else.
Cool
About the utility case, I like it. It’s cheap, light, small, can work as a shoulder bag and belt bag too (includes a strap). I plan to use it as a shoulder/belt bag on location for changing lenses, it should fit 2 primes at a time.
Thanks for all the help! I’ll update you once I check out the bag later.
