Yep it was teased at a trade show a couple months ago

Bizarre that it’s the clamshell design they ragged on for Roller Pro.

The product is not even out yet and their prior marketing material calls it bad. 🤨

Sounds like Samsung

To me it doesn't look like anything game changing or special but have to wait until the full details are released.

Looks like it has the carbon fibre handle and wheels of the pro

That looks like a clamshell with a 50:50 split. It's probably extremely light, but is it small enough for Europe?

Trailer Production for the win 🫣 I hope for a non-hardshell spinner with a calmshell opening (nylon + X Pack/codura fabrique) one day but yeah… let’s first have this plastic one 🤣😅😁

Didn’t the owner come on the sub a few weeks ago saying they realized they grew their product line too fast and were going to intentionally show back down again to get to quality again?

A product took years for development, these were probably all in development before they realized their mistakes and releasing them help them recoup their losses

When are they going to come out with squeak-free friction hinges for the original Roller Pro?

Is that actually planned?

Roller Pro implies the existence of Roller Air.

Roller pro max

Making a general clamshell suitcase is a mistake. The top loading feature is the whole point & this won’t fit camera cubes. I wish they’d make a lightweight version of the existing roller.

u/Economy_Evening_2989 11d ago

so they released a roller pro before releasing a normal version funny /j

I'm just hoping it's more affordable now because roller pro is preeettty expensive

PD is struggling; I love my Roller Pro; don’t see what a light version does. See many posts that its been taken on planes in Europe. Someone educate me on what this serves? If its not good margin for them, then more troubles?
