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

michelleq wrote in post #9509418
I've got 2 generic 21.5" lightstands (without the umbrella adapter) + 2 tripods + 2 umbrellas in the main compartment. That's like the max I would go for this bag given the quality of the zippers! I'll try to get a shot of it when I get home.

Is this the eBay bag? A photo would be great

The Ebay bag sounds like its crappy. The youtube video of it was even updated with a note saying the zippers broke.

I like Standbaggers:

I have the classic roll-up (6B) and will be ordering the new Grab 'n Go shortly.

Looks good. The Grab 'n Go Model 6 looks like it would accommodate the length of Nano stands but do you know if it will accommodate the stands with umbrella bracket attached?

I bought the countycomm bag and really like it. I have my 2 manfrotto nano stands, 2 collapsible westcot 43 inch umbrellas, two umbrella mounts, and one 20x20 ebay speedlight softbox kit inside the bag with room to spare. Its a very nice bag that works for the on the go travel light lighting setup.

I got the Grab n Go Model 6 two weeks ago. Yes, it takes Nanos with the umbrella brackets attached. Cheers.

Just grabbed the bag! What a beautiful bag. Got mine yesterday, and I love it! I'll put the lp604 into them and two westcott umbrellas.

I'll also place two td 383s in to the separated side pockets, two lite tites, and that's it for now. Maybe a sweater?

nice i plan to get this ones i get my strobist kit. are those westcott double fold umbrellas the longest you can fit in that bag or could you fit longer umbrellas in there?

Ive got some 32" eclipse umbrellas and it barely fits. The umbrellas are 23 inches long, and i'd need to stretch the cordura fabric to make it fit. The westcott double folds are 15" long and it perfectly fits into the water bladder pocket of the bag.

I'll do a video review for strobists out there. But i'll make sure that i'll give the OP credits.

Yep. The bag rocks for a compact light kit. I carry my 2 nano stands, 2 westcott collapsible umbrellas, umbrella adapters, and an ebay 20x20 softbox in it easily.

Nice, thanks for that. reason i was asking is because i found some umbrella soft boxes on ebay. but they are definitely much longer than the bag by 3" i think. if it's a tight fit then i will definitely go with the wescott double fold umbrellas and probably the cheetah box or ebay version.

look forward to your video review. did you go with the ballistic black lol or a different color?

Hrm, maybe I should get some nano stands, heh.

I went with the black. There are some other colors that are very appealing. If you don't know what color to go with, it's usually safer with black (albeit that it's boring).
