CB-01 Wheeled Light Stand and Tripod Carrying Bag (Black, 44.9")

I'm using this to store and transport a Celestron Powerseeker 114EQ telescope. Inner dimensions are 44in x 13in x 11in. The telescope tube fits on one side of the longitudinal padded divider, with the spotter scope attached. The tripod fits on the other side of the padded divider, with the EQ mount on it, counterweight installed. With this, there's room on both sides for more stuff (extra eyepieces, a digital eyepiece, and an axis drive motor, in my case). There are intermediate padded dividers, repositionable by their Velcro, which help keep everything in place and protected. While the sides and top are very sturdy/rigid, there's probably not enough padding to make me feel comfortable with sending it off to be tortured by baggage handlers at the airport. But, it's great for surface travel.

Great product! One thing though, DO NOT UNZIP THE MESH LINING ON THE INSIDE OF THE BAG!

Got this to try and get something wheeled for carrying a video tripod, XLR cables, and some other cables and stuff for streaming functions that I do for work, versus the big soft bags that we have to hand carry. You can pretty much tell once you pull it out that you shouldn't trust an airline with this thing, especially if it was weighed down with C-stands. However, this is a great little bag for an everyday photographer trying to get C-stands/lights from their home to a shoot, or an office, really anything that wouldn't involve airport handling, lol. So I didn't get to use it for work, but I use it at home now and it stores and organizes all of my personal lighting/background equipment really well. TLDR: Don't get this for airport travel, it's not sturdy enough. Get it if you just need something to tote your own gear around in your car, or organize your gear at home with something that moves easily.

Solid gear.

The bag works well as it's very spacious and sturdy. My only complaint is the handle is too short. When carrying a lot of weight the handle forces your knuckles into the bag due to the weight pulling it down as you're pulling up on the handle. If it were longer, it would clear the bag making your hand happy.

I gave it 5 stars for being the overall ONLY option I have found in this price range (without spending hundreds more) to contain two light stands with strobes attached and ready to use. I was using a Fovitec 40" that just wouldn't quite fit my gear in its "ready to go" state (I don't like having to take the time to assemble/disassemble in the field, while clients are waiting). This one has that extra few inches of space to contain my gear already set up and ready to deploy! (2 stands loaded with Godox/Flashpoint AD-600/XPLOR600PRO w/extension heads & closed Glow Hexapop softboxes attached). As for rating sturdiness & durability, I held off on the 5th star until I have more experience using it, BUT for Sturdiness: Depends on your needs and usage... This one is very adequate for hauling gear & personally loading/unloading into your vehicle, but If you're looking for a case for airline travel (where baggage handlers slam and stack), this is NOT your unit, it is not hard-walled nor padded enough to let baggage handlers toss it around.

I thought this case was amazing at first. I've only used it for transportation a few times but mostly it just keeps my stands organized. I needed off camera flash for a recent wedding. Wheeled it from my car to the DJ booth, about 50 yards with about 20 yards of it being a gravel drive way. When I got home, I realized one of the wheels almost fell off and the case is falling apart at the corner. This was an extremely light duty application. I'd stay away from this case.

These are good bags if using for lighter weight items (modifiers, skrims, blankets, etc). I made the mistake of using one of these for a light stands case for my Manfrotto 10’ portables (set of 3) as well as my Manfrotto 6’ 7” portables (set of 3) and some small fold out floor stands and after about 4 months of standing up the foot that keeps it upright broke loose from whatever it was riveted to inside the case and kept be left standing unattended now. For the money, it’s a good case just don’t load it with heavier items

Such an amazing product and good quality
