Looking for some recommendations from people who might have found something they like for the purpose. I have 3 yongnuo flashes, one trigger as the flashes have built in, a couple of flashpoint external power units and magmod accessories that are on the flashes and the mods that connect to them.
I have tried finding a bag or hard case, but most are either too small or WAY too big. I currently have them in a pelican 1450 and it is just too big to carry in addition to the camera bag. So I am hoping someone has found a quick over the should bag or small hard case that might meet the need.

I simply use an appropriately sized rectangular 'camera bag' to carry my speedlights with their accessory triggers and/or power packs.

I use 'lighting' cases only for studio strobe equipment taken on location.

I use this for my flash and modifiers. takes deep umbrellas Up to at least 105cm, the 125 is to long but thanks to strings in the end it go in anyway.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I will check them all out and see what I can work with. I just hate the idea of carrying a backpack and a separate camera bag just for lights. But I guess if you are gonna carry a kit, you might as well get something that works well with what you are already carrying.

I have 3 Pelican (or Pelican equiv) 1510 cases. I converted the wheels over to roller blade wheels to make them roll easier and quieter. I run all my strobes, flashes, light stands, modifiers, meters, etc in 2 cases, and bodies/lenses in another. They stack on each other, are great as something for shorter people to stand on for pictures, etc. I like the lifetime warranty on pelican cases too.

Seems like it will be hard to find a bag that will fit your needs...you might have to just roll the pelican around.

I have a pelican for my camera gear and a full studio roller to fit my lights, stands and modifiers. Depending on the job I just adjust accordingly. Some jobs need a backpack while others require everything.

I found a medium sized Tenba camera bag that seems to fit most of the gear without being a full camera bag. I am loading it for a shoot later this week. I will see if it makes it as a small holder for all my speedlight gear. I just have too much stuff in my bag most of the time. I am hoping by separating the gear into specific loads I can only bring along what I need for each shoot.
