Walking through Walmart, I spotted camp chairs on sale for $3.99 and realized the bags were the same length as our light stands. At that price, I took a chance and purchased two chairs thinking I would need one bag for each light stand and umbrella.

The price was right, and from the description, it sounded like the size was perfect for my needs. Only I seem to have a problem fitting the heavy duty air cushioned Impact stands in this bag. The regular duty stands fit just fine. I'm curious if anyone else has run into this. I'm asking because a piece broke off this heavy duty stand recently, and I'm wondering if, perhaps, it isn't collapsing as much as it used to (and that's why it doesn't fit in the bag lengthwise. Otherwise, the bag is great...large enough for a couple of stands and other accessories, and it seems well made. Cameras: 1DX, 1D4, 20D, 10D, S90, G2

At that price, I took a chance and purchased two chairs thinking I would need one bag for each light stand and umbrella. The bags worked perfectly. We actually fit two light stands, two umbrellas, and two umbrella adapters in a single bag. The bag is black, includes a strap, and would otherwise appear as if it was meant to hold the stands. My only wish would be for it to have a little more padding but I can't be too greedy for $3.99. thats a genius solution though i have not the need for those chairs! i doubt they sell those separately.

I've got a couple of chairs; one's about 30" and the other's 36" IIRC. The bags are about as long as the back of the chair is high. REI's got a folding chair that's 40" long on closeout. Jon
