I don't really buy the trolley idea, I can see it being a pain bouncing and clattering on any surface that isn't smooth!
i bought a Lowpro 500AW backpack and with the Nikor 500mm F4 and a couple of bodies it's just carryable, 5.5 Kgs! 6Kgs inc. the backpack.
My much smaller shoulder bag with the Tamron and a body which hangs from just one strap is more uncomfortable to carry but is half the weight!
An appropriate Lowpro model (or other) backpack with what you carry shouldn't be too heavy, the advantage of these backpacks is the weight is carried by the waist strap, with only a small amount on your shoulders.
