Anyone know of any shoulder strap bag that can carry three Rotalux softboxes at once? I have the 135 octa, 120 strip, and 90 DT and they all come with the same size bag. That is why I am wondering if I can get a bag that is similar in length to the included Elinchrom bag but wider to accept three soft boxes at once.

Anyone tried this? If there is such bag that would make transporting those softboxes together much easier than using three separate bags.


Thanks in advance!

Yea a 30 inch+ duffel bag should do nicely.

Also check out baseball bat carrying bags. A larger one for multiple bats might work nicely.

Thanks everyone,


I found this duffel bag on B&H http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …ails&Q=&sku=703​437&is=REG (external link)

I think it would work nicely but is so expensive. I also found this affordable interfit bag http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …056&is=REG#spec​ifications (external link)

Its 36 x 7.0 x 7.0" so it might work for transporting two softboxes only.

Anyone used this bag before?

I have used a bag similar to that, and other than the cheap design on it (which the material has already torn) I was able to carry a Bogen Tripod, 4 - ten foot light stands, 3 PhotoFlex 3'x4' Softboxes, and still had room for misc. items such as tape, clamps, cords ,etc..... It could have torn just from the shear weight of the items that I was carrying, however, if you will only be transporting light weight items such as ONLY softboxes, then I think you'll be just fine.....

This is the actual one that I had.....

They are so light, I just sling my three Eli modifiers on one shoulder and carry them where I need to.

But perhaps you do have a good idea.

What I really want is a bag for my two lightstands. They are a pain to transport.
