The bag provides good amount of storage. I do strobist type lighting so I use it for storing my lighting stands and accessories. It comfortably holds (2) 8' Impact light stands, (1) larger Manfrotto tripod, (1) monopod, and (3) collapsible umbrellas. It can be carried by sturdy handles or by a shoulder bag, both work very well. The top opens up fully making loading and accessing equipment very easy. It is zippered with the zippers on both sides, the two sides are opened at the same time with a single strap. Sometimes I work from the back of my hatchback or in tight spaces, I can still easily access things. There is also a practical small window at the end where smaller items (ballhead, clamps...) can be accessed. Though I usually don't use this.
Material seem sturdy and the bag is well constructed except the zipper quality is weak. I had to return the bag once because the zipper seperated. The bag material, handles and carrying strap is very sturdy, difficult to understand why the zipper was made so weak.
I would recommend the product, good price and value but be careful when closing the zipper.

This bag ought to be great. It's roomy and tough and easy to carry.
There's just one thing. One of the ends is zippered, so you can open it from the end, instead of opening it up along one of the long sides, yes?
The second time I opened that zipper, it broke. It's the kind of zippered opening that has two zipper pulls, so you can open it from either direction, so I was able to close the end back up with that second zipper pull. It's not a feature that I intend to use, and I DO. NOT. HAVE. TIME. to deal with returning this ginormous bag in the ginormous shipping box for an exchange, so I'm just going to live with it. But the next time I need something like this, I may shop around for a different mfr.

This case is very comfortable. It is able to hold a three lighting kit by Impact (Soft and Natural 4 Socket 3 Light Kit) which includes three light stands, heads, softboxes and 12 light bulbs.
I would definitely recommend this case to anyone who has some light gear that they want to carry around. Another plus to this case is the ability to open it from the "top" while standing it on its end. This way you can lift out your gear if you're just looking for a light stand instead of laying it on the ground and opening it length wise.

I am using this bag to carry all of my light stands, approximately 8 stands, and my gel roll along with some gel frames.
The bag seems very durable, and is well balanced.
My only gripe would be the placement of the shoulder strap.

This is a great bag. Quick note: there are NO separators. So make sure you have a way to pad your items. But it's cheap, durable and reliable.

Comments about Impact Light Kit Bag #3 for 2 Monolights with Light Stands and Accessories:
This is a bag of the right size to take my Avenger light stands.
The price cannot be beaten.
I only wished there was one extra compartment to the side to put things in like black foil or gaffer's tape.
The zip on top is the weakness of this bag. It's flimsy and will break rather sooner than later, after which the bag cannot be closed fully on top and will lose some of its stability when carrying it.

I just needed and inexpensive bag to hold a few light stands/umbrellas for me - this got the job done. It fits my tripod as well as a couple of 6' light stands with pocketwizards attached to the heads.
Like others have said though, the zippers leave something to be desired. I dont use this bag a ton, but I've already once had a zipper get off track. Luckily I was able to get it back on track and all is well again. I feel i got what i paid for and am overall satisfied.

Nice and simple with secure compartments and easy to use, stable, well made zippers out of heavy duty nylon. Holds 2 lights with tripods and diffuser umbrellas and cording with some room to spare. Excellent for a person who is aware that it is not a hard case. Light weight plastic sheets provide rigid structure and some bump protection.

Comments about Impact Light Kit Bag #3 for 2 Monolights with Light Stands and Accessories:
The quality of the bag is great for the price. I've used the bag for numerous shoots and the zippers and seams are holding up quite well. I'm able to fit a large tripod, two 8' lightstands, two umbrellas and the 43" Westcott Apollo Orb in the bag altogether. It's much easier hauling one bag over my shoulder than having my hands full with individual items.

I use these lights for studio photo. they work very well. I use them with a remote trigger, because of the sync system builded into the lights, I only need onetrigger for the lights. I wish it came with a second umbralla. The case gets a big no. Keep the box the lights come in to put them in the case, no sessions in the case.
