Does anyone make a case for three Canon 580 flash units and some associated wireless triggers, etc...? Or is a Pelican case w/Pick N Pluck foam the best solution?

Dustman Senior Member  885 posts Likes: 23 Joined Mar 2010 Location: New Jersey More info | I hold my 2 580exII's, 2 Stofen bounces, ST-E2, battery charger and extra batterys in the Lowepro Nova 170 AW. I think I could definitly get a third flash in there too without a problem. I recieved this bag for free from B&H with my 5d MK II. I didnt need a camera bag, but then realized how perfect it was. it really seems like it was made for this bag, the height of the bag & demensions are perfect for this flash!! Comes in 4 colors, and is $50 new & $40 used from B&H

I like the case suggestions from Franko515 and Dustman, but I'm also still considering a Pelican case. But it doesn't look like they make one that would be the ideal dimensions. 5DM2, 70-200 f/2.8 IS II, 16-35 f/2.8, Really Right Stuff BH-55 LR, Gitzo GT3531

Would I dump the flash units into one large space (they rub against each other) or would they be protected in their own padded compartments? 5DM2, 70-200 f/2.8 IS II, 16-35 f/2.8, Really Right Stuff BH-55 LR, Gitzo GT3531

I like the size of the Chimp Cage and the Nova 170 AW, but it's hard to determine if the individual flash units would be protected. I can take photos of my flashes in the cases mentioned above if you care to see. Light, composition, shooting technique matter to the end quality most. -Pekka

It fits my two speedlights, all my triggers, my Sekonic meter, as well as all my AA batteries, memory cards, camera batteries. My umbrella actually fits nicely in my MiniTrekker (the top pocket) and my lightstand is caseless for now.

But, only 2 stands. mitchman wrote in post #10401549 What do you guys think of this case? (I'm looking at the Model 8 Grab and Go bag) http://www.standbagger.com/ I like the fact that you can store your stands, flash units and umbrellas all in one case. The guy in the second video (under the VIDEO tab) says that he even flies with the bad frequently. I would think that the flash units are too exposed for air travel. They could easily get crushed. Thoughts? NIKON F3, 4 bronica gs, 50mm, 65mm, 2 100mm, 2 110mm, 2 200mm, 12 backs, pro hood, 3 Polaroid backs. 3 Kodak 8x10 multiple lenses. Kodak 5x7 3 lenses. Graphic view 2 4x5 with multiple lenses. Canon t2i 5dmk2 14mm 2.8, 24mm 1.4 ii, Sig 50 mm 1.4, 85mm 1.2 ii, ts-e 90mm, 200mm 2.8.

NewAgeVisions Member 93 posts Joined Jun 2010 More info | It is funny. We want the bag to carry $1600 worth of flashes, $200 worth of stands, $800 worth of PocketWizards, $400 worth of modifiers. But, don't want to spend more then $70 on the bag.. LOL NIKON F3, 4 bronica gs, 50mm, 65mm, 2 100mm, 2 110mm, 2 200mm, 12 backs, pro hood, 3 Polaroid backs. 3 Kodak 8x10 multiple lenses.
