I'm looking for a good rolling camera bag. I'm getting older. Gone are the days I could carry a FF with multiple L lenses on a several mile day hike. I'm not as mobile these days and cannot carry a heavy backpack anymore which has curbed my photography the last few years. My Tenba Solstice 12L with a single light body/lens is my limit for short distances these days. Sometimes I just shoot out the car window.

I've been moving to the the lighter R bodies (R6/R7/R8), non-L lenses, and a tripod to help. I'm looking for a single bag to hold a few bodies and several lenses (including an RF800, RF 100-400, etc.), even just getting from the house to the car. It should be easy to access sitting on the car set next to me. I've got a hardcase for serious travel but it's not as convenient to use.

Are there any brands/bags you recommend for rolling bags.
 
You might not be surprised, but f-stop ICUs fit very nicely into most carry-on suitcases. Then you can move between a backpack or the carry-on. Most "cubes" and ICUs are actually similar in dimension. I actually fit the F-stop ICUs into my Pacsafe Venturesafe 40x, which, unfortunately, they do not seem to make any more.

I have also tried pelicans in the past and the StormCase iM2500 absolutely works.

I have some GuraGear ICUs that I've used in my backpacks for years. I use them to carry specialty/optional gear already. I guess I could pick up a second carry on when I'm roadtripping. Thought I'd check out purpose built bags first.
