Lighting gear is valuable. It makes sense to invest in lighting equipment bags, covers, and hard cases, whether you're traveling to your studio or storing your equipment overnight. No matter what kind of equipment you're dealing with, the right protection makes it easy and safe to transport these items, regardless of the environment.

Lighting Equipment Bags

If you're traveling, the bags you choose should provide adequate protection. Special lighting bags, such as padded bags, are always a reliable option when packing your equipment to carry over long distances. Semi-hard and padded lighting bags offer protection and convenience and are another suitable choice for traveling.

Space, weight, and security are concerns when traveling by plane. Semi-hard equipment bags are an ideal choice because you can fit more bags into available storage space. If you need the highest level of protection and durability, solid cases are your best option. These hard cases shield your equipment from damage that could occur when you're traveling along bumpy roads or if your gear is going into cargo holds. Because lighting gear is valuable, you may consider adding an extra layer of security with case and luggage locks.

Other Types of Cases and Bags

Choose other kinds of cases, such as watertight cases, if you're filming and traveling in extreme weather conditions or if your shoot takes you on or near the water. When transporting lamps and bulbs, lamp cases ensure that the delicate glass doesn't break. Ditty bags are useful for storing the odds and ends that you need for every shoot, and l ight stand and umbrella cases make it possible for you to safely carry these other accessories.
