What do you keep all your strobist gear in to take to place to place?

I keep my two 580EX's and clamps in my $7M Home. Along with my 30D, 70-200, and chargers, batteries, etc.

Probably not what you're looking for, but this is the poor man's strobe setup.

I like the look of that bag. I'm gonna get one sooner or later. It is highly recommended.

My strobes and Pocket Wizards go in my bag with all my other camera gear, and my umbrellas are ball-bungeed to my light stands, which I put makeshift shoulder straps on to carry.

There's this one too, which looks a bit smarter to me, it is twice the price though:

Thank for the imput. I will definatly have to take a look at these bags a little closer. What I want to carry is 4 Sunpak 383, 2x 43" in umbrells,1 Apollo medium Softboc a Apollo small Soft box clamps batteries and triggers. The stands will end up in a stand bag. I was hoping people would chime in that have their bags already put togehter.

I just built my kit this week. All fits in a Bogen 25" Tripod bag.

I keep all my connectors, cables, and umbrella adapters in a small tupperware case to protect it during transportation and the light stands. Everything fits very snug.

I've been using a 24" long black sports duffle bag from the camping section of my local Walmart. $14 and some change and works nicely. They now come inside of a separate smaller zip bag that can be used for umbrella swivels and other smaller parts of your kit.

thats how i roll.

it holds 5 of my 8ft light stands, umbrella adaptors, 4 umbrellas, and some misc stuff.

i could probably fit 20 light stands in this thing :P

my flashes are also in there but in a separate camera bag. my 580 and 430 are usually in my burton zoom, and the 4 sb 28's are in the separate camera bag
