Hi folks,
I'm looking for a roller bag to cart my lights back & forward to college. 2x/week, maybe 8-12 weeks a year. I don't want mega-expensive (£300+) but I don't want "falls-apart-after-5-minutes". Roller is essential because carrying it from car to class is quite a long walk and using the standard shoulder bag everything came in is killing me. Esp when I add camera, tripod, thermos flask, etc. etc.
I've had a look at some of the Neewer sub £100 bags on Amazon and many of the reviews complain about build quality - esp the roller/handle mechanism which is the most important feature to me.
However the Lencarta bag has no reviews and I've got some of the softboxes which I really like. At £90 it seems reasonable. Also, the Pixapro one seems good but I've never heard of the brand.
Anyone have any experience/thoughts?
Ideally would carry 2 heads & cables, 2 stands, 2 folded softboxes and as a bonus my tripod, sandbags & 2 folded reflectors.
