Talking My "new" $5 strobist light kit bag - 10-25-2011, 10:04 PM


I have been searching for the right bag to carry my "stobist" gear on location.

I found the perfect bag, at a neighbor's garage sale, at the perfect price, $5.00.

A little vacuuming, lint-brush treatment and voilą!

The bottom compartment holds three bats, or in my case, light stands.

Will four strobes, umbrellas, reflectors, etc. fit in the main compartment?

I tried using a bat bag for my light stands but the darn light stands were too long, GRRR!! I used an army duffle bag.

Great idea for a gear bag! Looks like I'll be heading to some sporting goods consignment shops to look around.
