Strobist gear Bags

I hope some more people chime in with pictures.

I bought a 32" rolling duffel bag from Wal Mart today for $12. Big enough to hold my tripod, two light stands, two umbrella and still had room to spare. I couldn't find a picture of it online though... it is similar to this without the bottom compartment and plastic handle.

Thanks TXLEBER,

Just ordered that one: http://www.musiciansfr​iend.com …6500-Stand-Bag?sku=548502


My 13' stands are 43" long. 50" should work well.

I don't use the bag I posted the link for. I just saw someone post it over on FM. I'm using a Big a$$ Rubermaid container that holds all of my gear. 4 light stands, backdrop stand, 3 lights, modifiers, umbrellas and 3 backdrops. I paid $15 for the container.

I used it on my first on location shoot and it was nice to have a consolidated place to put all of the empty bags and misc equipment while I had everything set up. The only negative was that it was HEAVY!! Definitely a 2 person lift. I'm thinking on getting the bags just to split up the weight.

I have a Lightware bag that fits all my camera gear, both of my Bogen nano stands, umbrella, flashes, etc. I got it for free though - borrowing it from the boss.

I currently use a Giottos Tripod Bag for Stands and Brollies and a Lowepro Nova 3AW for my 2 580EX IIs, 2 CPE4s and 3 Pocket Wizards etc.

As for me - I carry both of my fashes(Canon 430EX and Sigma 500 Su), poverty wizards and cables in camera bag Lowepro Slingshot, and my umbrellas, stands and sweivels in a...ghm... violin case...)))Not very handy, but looks pretty darn cool...I'll throw some pics later)

White_Marten. Please do post some pictures becuase that just sounds cool.

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.

You've got a 7 million dollar home but a poor man's strobist setup?

HAHA! I have in the past carried all my lighting gear in a guitar case...I thought I was nuts

I keep my 580ex II, diffusers, Honl snoot and some gels in my go everywhere Domke F2. A couple of Sunpak 444d's, clamps and the rest of the stuff in a smaller older Domke that I've had as long as the 444d's. Bumbershots and stands stay in the car.

I've been searching for a good bag for a while, but all the bags that are 30" long are also too wide and too deep. So I finally thought of looking for a baseball bat bag!

I think I just need some more compact light stands. I have the Photoflex but they are just a little to long. Thanks for all the great ideas. I really appreciate it.

I love the look of all the inexpensive but professional bags that y'all have.

Here's mine:

Came with my first studio strobe setup. Holds 3 monolights, 4-5 flashes, three 20' PC cords, three 20' power cords, six 8' light stands with umbrella adapters, three 40" umbrellas, 2 tripods, hundreds of batteries, chargers, gels, etc. It feels really compact but well-built.

Just my 2 cents...
