Tacticool Strobist bag -- fits tripod, light stands and umbrellas!

I’d like to introduce to you the tacticool strobist bag. I was in the market for a bag for my new Gitzo 1541T tripod but wasn’t happy with anything I found. Most were too bulky and/or long, which defeated the purpose of having travel-sized gear. Speedlites are my strobe of choice for their portability and convenience so in that vein I also use Manfrotto 001B Nano light stands (19″ when collapsed), and double-fold umbrellas. Luckily, I found a bag that fits everything! You can find it at County Comm (I love this place).

Meet the Maratac Extreme SAT-COM bag.

That is so cool!

I love tactical nylon, and for the price, that's just unbeatable!

Yeah, pity that. For that price looks like a keen deal to be sure.

Sorry guys, I meant to post about it sooner! lol

In case you haven't seen, they're back in stock and even more durable now (made from 1000D Cordura). However, they got rid of the black for olive green.

nice find, especially for the price. They're out of black though....

Not a bad price for a tough bag, I just picked up a Gitzo bag for my tripod and honestly while nice I could do without the Gitzo name for a cheaper bag.

Damn, shouldn't have went to the site, I love that pen they are selling!

I just ordered the black, not sure if they have it in stock but it was available. My tripod is too big for the bag but I am waiting for my light stands and umbrellas, this would be a great bag for that plus my flash units.

On another note, what brand and model is that your lightstands? The link will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

They don't do international shipping, so I got myself a china made generic tactical bag off eBay, almost the same in terms of dimensions, plus 3 front pockets for smaller stuffs like umbrella holders. Quality wise, nothing spectacular, but does the job fine.
