[Optional] This is a very durable, thick material. There are some nice pockets inside and out. The ends are thick. Sure if you want to toss it around you may break your stands. I don't toss around my stands and can get a lot in here.

[5] I carry 2 light stands, 2 umbrellas and my Bogen tripod in this bag and have no problems with it. Well made and strong. I do wish it came in a color other then black.

[5] Using it to carry lightstands and some modifiers. Been using it for last few years now and it might not come with any paddings, it's a relialbe bag that you can trust the quality. No rips or zipper breaks yet.. strap connectors are still intact. My decision to purchase this bag was the size and price. I don't want to spend alot of money for carrying lighting stands...

[Aluminum] I have a larger, bulkier lighting kit bag, but it was made for big reflective bowls, monolights and older, bulkier setups. Now that I shoot mostly smaller, industrial setups in tight locations I've switched to small, shape-specific LED units, and I I need are a handful of stands and a tripod. So a yard-log shoulder bag with a roomy main compartment and two smaller ones (sure, I gotcher angle mount right here) is absolutely perfect. Quick in, quick setup, quick teardown and I'm outtathere in one trip. Seems built really well, so I should be using this for a long time.

[Aluminum] I bought this bag back on 2009 and didn't write any review till now, so far this bag has seen a lot. Most of my assignments are outdoors and I always carry with tripods, lightstands and soft boxes, always full capacity. It also has been through a lot of flights and airports, it has never failed and the zipper still flawless. Now I'm looking for an other one. Nothing wrong with my old bag, I just have more equipment to carry.

[Optional] Really impressed with the quality of this bag, especially for the prices; material, stitching, and zipper are really good. Have it holding 2-42 strip banks, 1-36 Octo, 1-32 softbox, 1-52 softbox, and speed rings.

[Optional] Fits 3 light stands at least and is a great price!

[Optional] Pretty good bag for the price, seems very well made. No padding.

[Optional] I bought this bag initially for its low price. Upon taking it home and removing it from the packaging, I was greatly surprised by its quality and spaciousness. I currently fit four 8' light stands, four umbrellas, and two soft boxes with much space to spare. The inner pocket is great and holds umbrellas securely and the side pockets are perfect for holding umbrella brackets, or super clamps. The only downside would be the lack of padding, but I find that the interior pocket protects the umbrellas and I'm not concerned about the light stands taking a beating. It's a great value for the price.

[Black] Light weight yet stable and fully function for my needs. Works well with my phone and point n shoot camera set ups
