Pics below shown with Tamrac 5575 Expedition 5
I just got this in the mail today and I have to say that it is significantly bigger than my Tamrac Expedition 5 posted below for comparison.
The build quality is top grade. It feels really sturdy when standing it up and it rolls extremely smooth. The wheel base is wide so I don't feel like it is about to fall on its side. With all my gear and a small tripod, It clocks in at 33 lbs. Wearing this for a few minutes of testing on my back is comfortable. I like how the harness is on the font of the bag as nothing is digging into my back. Don't know how it will be for a long hike, but that's also why I got a rolling back pack. lol.
What surprised me the most is that I can carry ALL of my lens hood with me in my bag!! The Road Runner is much wider than my Tamrac 5. You can see on the back of the bag that there are two decent sized pouches for you to store your my flash, Epson P-3000, memory cards, batteries and chargers. Although, I wish there were more smaller compartments in the two rear pouches.
The Road Runner is surprisingly roomy for those two rear pouches. So far, I must say I love this bag! Its the exact same dimension for those of you who needs a carry-on at the airports. This is a plus for me because I simply refuse to check in my gear.
There are also lock-tite accessories that you can buy for this bag which makes it that much better. So far I love this bag and can recommend it to anyone who is looking for a, not HUGE, but a nice big rolling back pack that can hold a lot of stuff!
Positives:
1. Its has wheels. They are very smooth and sturdy.
2. The entire insert can come out so you can use it as a regular backpack or
you can pull it out to make it easier to customize it.
3. Its a very wide bag! It can fit all of your lens hoods.
4. The strap is very comfortable
5. The bag seems VERY strong and durable.
6. Comes with a all weather cover.
7. strap does not drag on the ground when I roll the bag.
Negatives:
1. I wish there were more smaller organizing pockets on the back for batteries, compact flash cards, etc...
Conclusion: This is a very strong, good sized bag for any photographer looking to travel, hike or even just around the corner with their gear. It is very stable and rolls very smoothly. It has just enough pockets on the outside to store all of your chargers and cables. This bag is highly recommended.

Review for Canon EOS 1D
Photo shows:
Canon EOS 1D mk II + 80-200mm lens attached
Sigma Fisheye
CF cards, Batteries
Epsom P-2000 , Canon EOS 10D Body, Flash & batteries, 1d Batteries, etc
This is the bag i use when i want to take lots of lenses and/or both bodies. this bag is a rolling backpack and is airline legal. it has nice straps on the outside for attaching lens pouches and a tripod. there is no laptop sleeve, so i either carry my normal crumpler laptop bag, or smaller stm laptop sleeve.
when used as a backpack, there is a waist belt and believe it or not - carrying all of the kit above, including both the 80-200 2.8 L *and* the bigma (and even the tripod) is not that bad.
thanks to oblio for pics and comments.
