It is cheap, it is lightweight, and I can fit in it my Manfrotto 367B, along with another (smaller) stand and two umbrellas. What more do you need?

I got the bag to replace my bag for my backgroung stands and it is very well made especially for the price.

I've owned it for a few weeks so I haven't really put any miles on it yet but so far I've stuffed 2 light stands and 4 umbrellas of varying sizes in it, and that about filled it.

The zipper works fine and if I didn't stuff it, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I could see it having a problem with being filled to the brim. But even if the zipper does break, the case is still going to help me get my stands from A to B easier than if I didn't have it at all.
Great product for the money.

Nice and cheap, holds more than enough for a two light set up and umbrellas/soft box's. I use it for on location shoots comes with a shoulder strap. You cant go wrong with this.

A Basic bag with no padding. It will be used for a reflector and frame. The handles are long which makes a good shoulder strap but not that great for hand carrying and there is no way to shorten them or get them out of the way.

This bag worked great in a pinch, when I had to take a heavy-duty boom on a shoot. I hadn't intended for its use outside of the studio, so when I found out I would need it, This bag came in extremely handy!! It is sturdy enough to contain the 9' boom arm, weight, and heavy-duty stand, and so far, I have had no issues with it's performance. Keep in mind, this isn't a piece of equipment I intend to remove from the studio with great frequency, so this bag should last a good while. If you need something for daily abuse, i'd recommend something with stronger side walls - like a pelican case.

I was under the impression that it the bag had a bit more space. I have two stands and two umbrellas that live in it and there is always some jostling to get the thing zipped. Other that that...great.

Just a good light stand case. Well built. Well padded. Fits my needs exactly. Now I can transport my stands more safely & more importantly, more professionally.

I was worried that my equipment wouldn't fit in it but I was proved wrong. I fit 2 8' light stands and 2 28" Westcott Apollo softboxes in it. The 2 brackets, still in their packaging, are also in there. There is still room at the end to possibly fit my lightsphere and/or speedlight in it. Just pack it up, pick it up, and go!

Well made, nice looking. It is unfortunately a very tight fit for 43" stands. If your stands are shorter than that, it is a good deal on a nice product.

The perfect bag for carrying my light stands and a couple umbrellas. Much higher quality than the price would lead you to believe, and definitely worth the investment.

I should have purchased this bag a ling time ago!

This is a good case for the $$$. I have (2) compact manfrotto stands, 2 small westcott umbrellas, 2 justin clamps and there is still plenty of room. The dividers are helpful too.

I use this bag to carry two lightstands and two umbrellas. There is easily enough room for at least another stand and brella, if not more. There is a thoughtfully engineered padded flap that helps separate the fragile umbrellas from the stands, and there is a wide Velcro flap that holds the umbrellas still. I highly recommend this, I will no longer be struggling to cart a bunch of loose stands and umbrellas out to the car!

I almost didn't purchase this bag with my lightstand and umbrella, but after using it I'm very glad I spent those few extra dollars.

I fit two light stands, one 10' one 9', a 45" convertible umbrella and a 28" Westcott softbox. This is the perfect size for everything and comes with a shoulder strap. Build quality seems to be very nice and strong too. I think this will last a long time. Works perfect for what I needed it for.

I bought a background stand from a friend but it didn't come with a bag. This case is the perfect size for the stand and all it's accessories. It is lightweight and made well. I would totally recommend this.
