What does everyone use to carry 2-3 lights, stands, umbrellas, softboxes?
Battery if applicable.

I've been eyeing the Kata OC97 or Palms 3 & worry about the interior length for the stands being a limiting factor in what stands I can carry.

What do you guys use?
What lightstands and model?

Thanks all

I've heard of people using the $39 luggage bag from walmart, its the bag that the bottom of it is separate from the top, you can put the light stands/ umbrellas in the bottom, and the lights in the top, I would go there and measure it for yourself
.
I am using one of them roller hard cases from home depot (I think I paid $14 on sale), I only have 3 genesis 500watt hot lights though

I use Pelican Cases to carry my lighting equipment.....
For Stands, Umbrellas, Softboxes, etc... I started out with Hard Roller Golf Cases, then moved up to a durable lightly padded canvas carrying case, because the Golf Case was just too big for my needs. But my ultimate light stand and tripod carrying case that I would like to have is Lightware. Just have to save up some Lightware money..... LOL.

BTW, I use a combination of 10' and 13' Bogen and Calumet Light Stands.....

I'll have to check out the Lightware Cargo bags in person at B&H and compare them to the Kata OC/Palms design.

I'm not looking for something that can be airplane travel worthy, just something to make lifer easier when carrying between shoots.

I just ran up there (only a mile away); found some $39 bags but can't find the bag you're talking about. Got a link or something?
