I'm currently looking for a studio lighting bag to hold: 70cm softbox, strobe (AD200) & speed light, and maybe a nano stand with small monopod.

Anyone have any recommendation?

I'm currently looking at Neewer bag: https://www.amazon.com …=all_reviews&pa​geNumber=6 (external link)

Anything else?

If you go to a photo store you’ll pay way too much. Head over to Home Depot tool boxes with wheels. I even bunji cord stands on top. Works real well.

Or go to eBay periodically and search "hard shipping case (hardigg,thermodyne,pa​rker)"

And then for foam go to foamonline.com

7/8” Kaizen foam is excellent stuff

I have used it. I loved it at first--very easy to cut to depth and looked great.

But it's easily deformed by the weight of the equipment and will begin to sag. For instance, when a case spends any time at all turned on its side, the foam will sag permanently to that side. It doesn't become unusable, it's just not very pretty.

I’ve doubled the 7/8”. Holds up OK.

I'm using it in my massive video case. It's doubled to 8 inches deep...but sagging. As I said, it still works, but it's not pretty.

Maybe I move stuff around a bunch. Right now the case is empty. Been empty for a couple months since I’ve been shooting indoors.

https://www.monoprice.​com/product?p_id=12279 (external link) - doubles as something to sit on, or have a subject stand on it, plus very much weather proof, something I always consider in photo gear transport.



Lower budget (and quality/longevity):
