Comments about Tenba T488 TriPak:
I was looking for an inexpensive bag for my tripod and lightstands. Lots of wheeled options but wanted a carry on. This was a good choice! Just enough room for 2 - 43" lightstands and 1-manfrotto tripod with head. The strap is long enough to carry around the shoulder comfortably. The fabric seems durable enough to withstand some abuse but it is not a padded bag.

Finally decided to replace my non brand name light stand bag for the Tenba and I regret not doing it sooner. I fit 1 13' stand, 2 6' stands, variety sized umbrellas and a Westcott softbox with no issues. The quality of the bag is fantastic and I'm sue it will last me for a few years if not longer.

This bag'll handle years of abuse from airlines and cab drivers. As has been pointed out, there's no padding in this bag. The idea is that you fill it with stands and a tripod that don't need padding. In a pinch, use extension cords and other unbreakables from your grip kit as filler.
Only con: straps are a bit too long for me unless slung across a shoulder (which can be very awkward with a full, heavy bag, though it does free up another hand for carrying).

Cut use more padding, but that's not teh type of bag it is. A good Stand bag for my Heavy C stands, very durable!

I bought this for a light stand and 60" umbrella. It holds those very easily and it could easily hold a lot more. No padding, but I wasn't really expecting that anyway.

I've only had it a few weeks so hard to say how it will hold up long term but:
handle looks very strong (going right round the bag in one piece).
You can fit the 42" 5 in 1 reflector in the bad but its a bit of a squeeze to the point that the zip is a bit under stress - so I probably won't be doing that.

I use this bag for my lightstands when travelling locally. It is simple, lightweight and sturdy allowing me to strap it onto my magliner and set off for location. It is not padded, which in my case is a plus because it is not bulky.I have worn one out when stuffing too many stands(8?) into it. The zipper gave out after many years of abuse.
