HAKUBA USA INC PSTC400 LIGHT STAND CASE Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I actually bought this bag for a fairly large tripod that is easier to carry around with a bag than without it. I gather that what applies to the tripod applies to lightstands as well though.

Well made bag. A nice touch is the velcro divider in the side pouch the pouch is big enough to warrant it. The double zipper design that opens up on one end and goes almost to the other end provides easy access to your gear inside. Protection will be adequate; it's well padded for daily use. But I wouldn't use it to check my tripod for a flight the bag will not protect for abuse by baggage handlers.

A bit disappointing are the straps at the bottom of the bag. The idea is that you can use them to tie down your gear, but the use of camera strap style buckles (as opposed to backpack style quick-releases) baffles me. Every time you want to use the straps you have to weave the one end through the buckle. Was a snap-release that much more expensive for a bag at this price? For this reason I rate this bag with only 4 stars, not 5 because outside that this bag offers tremendous value for money.

For those who want a shorter case, Hakuba makes it, but this one does 2 2214 lightstands, SLIK pro 700 tripod with tall joystick head, plus although a tight fit, a couple of foldup softboxes and umbrellas and their brackets. Fortunately its tough zipper seems able to hold it all in. The shoulder strap is adequate, but not comfy enough to avoid the nice grips. A bit too much gear for one bag but since I need another traveling lightstand, another PSTC400 will even it out, It seems very well-made and -padded. It's only a little more money for this higher level of quality. While there is still an argument for studio strobes, the trend out of the studio, toward lightweight portability and shoe flashes is well-served by protective cases such as this. Recommended.

I purchased this bag to carry light stands AND a tripod and this bag does the job very well. The bag is padded and well constructed with heady duty materials. The zipper is heavy duty. Nothing is cheap about this bag.

It's just the right size and fits in my trunk (Maxima). I shoot weddings and take this bag filled with (2) 10' light stands, (1) Promaster Tripod, (2) 32" umbrellas, (1) light pole, (2) extension cords. There is also a side zippered pocket that holds hardware/brackets. This is a really nice bag for the price and would highly reccomend this one if you want/need to carry several stands/tripod. I could probably fit one more inside if I had to.

Honest reviews on HAKUBA USA INC PSTC400 LIGHT STAND CASE

I was looking for a large bag for my tripod, most other bags are small and not well made. I am able to fit not only my large tripod, on my shoot last week I was also able to fit my camera tripod, 2 light stands, 1 mic stand. That normal would have cost me 3 trips to the car and back. I am very pleased with this bag, fits in the car (side to side) and keeps my fluid heads protected. I will get 1 or maybe two more of these and I love the size and construction top notch for professionals.

This case was better than expected. It is heavy duty and roomy. It is 46 inches long. So it even holds my heavy duty stands. The zippers are heavy duty as well. This is a very good light stand case.
