My question is...does anyone have the case? Its $130 extra for the case and wondering if it is indeed worth it. I have seen some pretty nice cases between the $120-$150 range and before I go ahead and order the kit, wanted to see pics of it, if anyone had any.

Thanks

I wish i had a rolling case. I have to use a hand cart, which can carry more but is also one more thing to carry.

they dont even show the case on the site. and if you search "rolling case" you get 66 results. and dont know how they expect people to pull the trigger on something like this without seeing it.

when i need to be more portable i will just pick up the fat max

how many lights can you get in there though? 2? I need to carry 4-5 depending on what I'm doing.

I called them about the case. They said its the same one as the Travelites package. They said its not on the site yet but will be soon. However soon could be 6 months from now. I just bought the 2 light kit without the case so now in search of one.

I got the setup with the case.
The case has a custom sized roller frame. The case has Velcro straps holding it onto the frame.
It holds the two lights, the stands, umbrellas and reflectors. There is a bit of room for things like cords, duct tape but not really enough room for more lights.
There are likely to be other cases for about the same price that are more versatile.

This works for what I wanted. An easy to move two light kit.

Is it worth $130 they are asking for it? Thats the price they quoted me if I were to buy it separately.
