Think Tank recently updated its popular Airport Navigator and Airport Roller Derby with new V2 versions.
I have used Think Tank bags for a long time. I still have 4 or 5 that have been all over the world and are still going strong after more than a decade. I would argue that you would be hard-pressed to find more durable or well-made rolling bags for camera equipment.

The Airport Navigator V2 is a dual-access, 4-wheel roller with top and front openings for quick access to your gear.
Two gripped camera bodies fit side-by-side and are accessible from the top with a 70-200mm f/2.8 mounted. The roller’s compact size and high gear capacity make it ideal for any who travels a lot.
