Comments about Tenba T538 TriPak:
We've got an old huge Manfrotto tripod we lovingly call "Atlas". We've tried to get a decent case, straps or bag for this thing for years and this bag works. It is very ungainly, though and it can only be carried like a briefcase. Using it as a backpack doesn't work (the bottom just knocks into your legs) and it rolls around a lot. Wish it had a padded shoulder strap. We may just add one ourselves.
Wish there was something better out there but this seems to be it for us.

Comments about Tenba T538 TriPak:
If you are looking for a large bag to fill with 3-4 medium sized stands, couple boom stands or c-stands then this bag does what it's designed to do. It has no dividers, or straps inside so whatever you toss in there, make sure it can stand the clashing.
If you don't have the gear to fill this bag from edge to edge, you'll find that this bag doesn't have any interior support so the loose end will be flopping around left and right (not to mention severely unbalanced).
Overall, this is just a big simple bag you can sling on your shoulder to carry your more larger gears. And that's what it does.

Comments about Tenba T538 TriPak:
The T538 contains my Manfrotto 008BU with casters and an Avenger D600CB mini boom arm.
Long lightstands are always unwieldy to transport but the T538 manages to ease the pain somewhat.
The padding on the shoulder straps are on the thin side, but are smartly placed (not in the centre, but nearer to the edge) so in its natural carrying configuration, the Tripak slants downwards, reducing the overall 'length' and the attendant chance of hitting someone when you are turning a corner e.g.
Full length, smooth zippers translates to easy packing and unpacking.
A bit pricey for an otherwise unpadded tripod bag; it's a real simple design, but unfortunately Tenba seems to be the only one who manufactures it - other brands, a lightstand bag of this length may weigh more than the lightstand itself...
