Fills a gap for handling of my equipment.

Other than my Pelican case, this is the next toughest gear case I own, went with it after seeing my local rental company use it, figured if it's good enough for a rental torture, it's good enough for me. Zippers are strong, bag material is thick and durable

Bag is very well padded. I love the pockets on the outside, perfect for pocket wizards and small cables. There is also buckles in the inside of the bag to keep your tripods in place.

I carry my 2 Cheetah 12ft stands and 3 other 8' stands in that bag. Very good quality, strong.

I bought this case to transport a 130mm f/7 refractor telescope. The case is a perfect fit and seems to be well made. It certainly holds the 20 lb. telescope with ease.

I already have a nice bag for my strobes and this bag is packed for flash stands and flashes. Very convenient to just be able to grab one bag and go.

This is a really nice bag for ($). I've only taken it out on one gig but it feels sturdy, holds a lot of stuff, good padding. I like the extra pocket on the front that you can store some small brackets or whatever in and the shoulder strap makes it easy to carry.

This was actually recommended by a user who also needed a carrying case for the Epson Duet Ultra Portable Projector Screen and it's a PERFECT fit! Nice padding and straps and also feels very durable.

Fits my Manfrotto 503HDV fluid head on 351MVB tripod legs with a little room to spare! Much cheaper than the Manfrotto case.

This is a tough bag. Carrying a heavy wooden Berlebach slung over my shoulder got to be too much for me, so I bought on spec this case. It suits me perfectly. Years have passed, yet it has resisted all damage.

This case holds a bunch of stands and gear. It is really well made. Most importantly, it's long enough to fit my Manfrotto stands.

Just received the product today as my old bags bit the dust. This thing feels solid! great material, handles feel sturdy, and I really like the hard plastic on the bottom. I just packed it with: C stand column and boom arm. 4 manfrotto stacker stands, 3x4 softbox, 7ft parabolic umbrella, and 28" Westcott apollo. I'll definitely be getting the smaller version soon as well!! :D

This bag works perfect for my gitzo 3 series tripod with the RRS BH40 ball head still attached (just barely). It is well padded and seems like it will hold up well.

Spacious and of a very high quality, I was able to declutter my trunk of several bags housing 3 lightstands and tripod. The materials are solid and there are no issues with the heavy duty seams and zippers. The padding is light but enough to prevent any dings and scratches from accidental bumps into things. The only thing lacking is the strap system they have in the bag. There are tension lock straps on the bottom of the bag to help keep things from shifting around while being carried upright. The idea is great but the execution is a bit lacking. When loading gear into the bag, you have to pass them each through the preset loops and then tighten in the cramped space once your gear is in. They would benefit greatly with velcro straps in not only how quickly you'd be able to access and pack away your gear, but in how tightly and easily you'd be able to secure everything inside. Inconvenience aside, this bag is highly recommended.

Carrying case for my light stands and tripod. Durable but lightweight. It is perfect for what I need.

I'm sure like most starting photographers, I've got light stands, tripods, accessories ... you name it, not only do I have it, but it has been sitting loose in the back of my car for quite some time. In between photo shoots, I would just leave it there, because it would take three or four trips to haul it back into my house. And when I had a job, it would take three or four more trips to load up the car. I bought two of these Hakuba bags and everything just fit into both. Now I can take one trip from the car to the client and one trip from the car to the house. Easy peazey. The quality of the fabric is very heavy duty and while I don't plan to fly with these bags, for local trips to a client's location, these fit the bill perfectly.

This fits my full size carbon fiber tripod with a leveling head and a ball head attached with room to spare. It seems to be sturdy but I haven't taken a trip with it yet.

Ours is 2 years old and still in great condition. Travels over 200 days a year with us. Zipper still works perfectly, every time!!

This is a great bag I keep three light stands and two mono-pods in it and have room to spare. I have been using it every weekend for over 4 years and have never had any problems with it.

I needed this bag to transport my lightstands 45" long from the U.S. to India. They are great for travel because they are padded and offer extra protection. I was able to check the bag in along with my other luggage and the airline accepted it without making a fuss. What's great is that it holds a LOT OF STUFF, is lightweight and exactly what I was looking for. A great buy.

This is a great bag. I'd never heard of Hakuba, but it seemed to get good reviews online, and now I can see why. You can't beat it for the price. Best bag for a strobist kit. I carry 2 Manfrotto 1051 stands and 2 Paul C Buff PLMs. The bag is padded. The shoulder strap is very nice to use. I've gone through a couple other bags like this (Manfrotto and Tenba, both of which I plan to sell), but this one is much better. Great value!!

This bag is large enough to carry two tripods or in my case a tripod and a monopod. The pocket is great for small attachments or accessories.

My Bogen 3001 with 701HDV video head fit very well in bag!!

Very well made bag for the price. Not a lot of extra room but fits my Gitzo 3 series tripod with Arca ball head. Extra storage on the outside does come in handy too. Haven't tested the bag in the field yet.

Nice roomy bag with decent padding. It can hold a lot of stands, reflectors, softboxes, umbrellas, etc. However, I would say that overpacking it is a bad idea. One of mine developed a rip in the fabric after about a year of heavy use. The zipper is holding up fine. But, I don't think this is very good performance. However, I do really like the bag overall. It would likely be covered under warranty but it looks like it's an easy repair and I'm not going to bother with warranty. I also use some Lightware bags that are often very overpacked and they have never ripped after a lot of use. The Hakuba needs more care so you have to balance the cost savings with the limited usability.

I was very well pleased with this purchase. I measured my tripod and compared it to the case's measurements. My tripod fits perfectly. Not to big fits just right.

Sax, bassoon and bass clarinet stands are as klutsy as tripods to carry around and, like photographers, musicians have to carry a lot of gear. I have searched for a sturdy instrument stand case. The adverized Hakuba 100 measurements looked just right for my Hercules bass clarinet stand and on delivery the case was a very good fit. One can also include a folded music stand and the side pocket easily accomodates added clarinet and flute pegs or other accessories. It looks very well made from sturdy materials. Since the bag comes in four sizes, I have recommended it to other musicians.

Great bag
By CHRISTOPHER V.
I wanted a high quality, padded bag to carry my essential light stands and related gear. This bag serves that purpose well. I have used it to store 4 light stands, clamps, cords and related equipment (med bag). It is secure and well made. I highly recommend
Better than expected
By gracie
This is a perfect travel bag for tripods. Unzips across the length for easy tripod access. Has a convenient outside pocket. Great strap so that you can carry over your shoulder. The padding protects. Probably wouldn't trust it to airline cargo guys, but it is enough for every day travel and use. Good quality - better than I expected!
