Think Tank Stand Manager 52 Rolling Case for 4 Turtle Base C-Stands, Multiple Light Stands or Modifiers

2025-06-03T20:00:00

Having a roller that held all of my stands is what I have been missing. It saves a couple of trips to and from the vehicle when loading in and out for remote shoots. I am able to fit four large Bogen stands (two with casters), and my background bag that contains two stands, and four cross bar poles. If there was anything that I would like to see in future editions.. 1. firm side walls 2. ability to stand on its own (like the Production Manager rollers that I use), and 3. just a slightly increased length to hold a 53" Savage paper roll in its box, which is right at 55". Overall, I am happy with the Stand Manager 52, as it has already saved many trips back and forth from vehicle to venue since received.

Like the bag but it these two improvements would make it better 1. Need a way to stash the left over tripod straps. Even in the think tank video you see how unsightly they are when he lifts the bag up. Plus they hang down and hit your legs. I am deducting a whole star for this as it seems like the straps were an afterthought and not part of the initial design. 2. Waterbottle holder on both sides. I could have a waterbottle on one side and perhaps a lens in the other, or the rain cover, or anything else for that matter.

This bag is great, it holds my stands, soft boxes, umbrella's, clamps, grip equipment and a whole lot of other stuff. Highly recommend it.

I bought this bag for a group road trip where I was asked to not bring a backpack. The long strap to wear crossbody was a big help when hiking up and down slopes and on gravel beaches. It was a bit heavy since I was carrying two camera bodies with lenses. I would love to see a waist strap addition or option on this bag.

Since I've moved to mirrorless my old bags are too big. The Vision 10 is the right size bag. My Nikon with a 18-200mm , a couple filters and a flash all fit. Perfect for a walk around and to travel with.

Vision 15 is very easy to access and is very well designed. I purchased this camera bag to use for my local conservation stories, and I am very pleased with how rugged and stylish this bag is. Also, I like that it can hold my small laptop as well.

I've used the Vision 13 for just a couple outings, but I do believe it suits my needs well. The bag is used for a Fuji X-H2, 2 zoom lenses (one attached usually), two prime lenses, and an M2 iPad Pro. I needed more space for the camera and lenses and wanted a place to put the iPad (it had to fit with the keyboard and cover I have for it). I have to say it all fits very well in the bag and there's room for other things, like camera batteries, a power bank, cables, and the Fuji charger. If I reconfigured it, I could certainly fit the smaller X-E4 I have and have both cameras available. Anyway, it is sufficiently water repellant without the included rain cover for mild precipitation and damp situations. It's comfortable on my shoulder, though it will start to cause some discomfort for my back because of the weight. My only gripe is that the shoulder strap does not have swiveling attachments for the bag. If I put the bag on my shoulder with the strap twisted I have to remove the bag to straighten things out instead of just turning a swiveling attachment point. That being my only complaint, the bag is great!

I love the bag, especially the construction and size. Except that there are no dividers for the C stand uprights. The poles can be damaged without some kind of padding between them. I have to wrap the bases as it is. I own quite a few Think Tank bags and love them but this one is a miss for me.

I purchased the vision 13 with some upcoming trips in mind. I also have the Amazon version of the vision 10 and was happy with it, but was limited in how much I could carry. The smaller bag maxes out at 1 body, an accessory or 2, and 1-2 lenses depending on how small they are. The Vision 13 has much more space, I just traveled with 2 bodies, 2 lenses, a flash, spare batteries, and a mini tripod with space left over. The comfort of the shoulder strap makes it easy to carry all day if needed, while still being narrow enough to easily walk down an airplane aisle without turning it sideways. For a future trip I plan to bring 1 body, 3 lenses, a flash, mini tripod, and any other accessories I think I'll need. Very happy with this bag.

This bag is a must-have for professionals on the go. I was impressed by the quality of its wheels and durable construction. I also own the logistic manager as well. The smooth-rolling wheels glide over surfaces, making transportation a easy. The bag's build ensures it can withstand the demands of frequent use and provides reliable protection for my C-Stands. With this roller bag, I can transport my equipment with ease, knowing that it is well-supported by its sturdy construction and durable wheels.

We are a portable church, that means we rent the same space on Sunday and have to set up and tear down every week. One piece of equipment that we use is a collapsible rear-screen projector and screen, The original case for the screen was very cheap, the zipper broke screen broke within year and the material was ripping in many areas. I needed to find a case big enough to hold the screen with its frame and be durable. The Stand Manager 52 did the job perfectly. It is incredibly strange and durable for what we do!

Like all Think Tanks bags, well made and well thought out. The only thing I'd change is to make it a couple inches longer so I could fit a 53 in. roll of seamless.

This case is well designed and built, as are all the TT products. Could be a touch longer so the seamless rolls don't need to be angled and I wish there was a pocket for a business / address card for air travel like on the Production Manger 50.

Purchased this bag for keeping my flashes and flash accessories. Great size for a couple of speedlights and triggers. Seems sturdy and looks good. Happy with my purchase.

I just got back from a 12 day shoot and this works great. Doesn?t look too beat up after a flight overseas and back. Easy to overfill but the weight is distributed well so it was always easy to carry even at 70 pounds.

perfect little bag to hold 3 flashpoint XPLOR 100 pocket flashes and some round head accessories. fits well over my think tank roller camera bag luggage handle and off we go!

I bought this because it was the smallest bag which could fit the Nikon Trinity, and it does it perfectly with my D850, plus a speedlight. This is the first smaller shoulder bag I've used which didn't feel like a massive compromise. It's Think Tank so everything makes sense and the padding is good to go. After about a month of daily use, I feel good about recommending it. I never worry about my gear, the strap is comfortable for carrying around all day, and it looks unobtrusive enough. The criticism about the top handle is reasonable, but I got used to it pretty quick. The only way to improve it would be if it could fit the 70-200 attached, but that's probably asking too much for a bag this size.

This was a great purchase, the bag hold all my C-stands and light modifiers, it's easy to roll in an out of a shoot. Really nice to have everything in one roller.

I like the features of this bag and its convenience. I've been using it with my Canon R6 and 70-200 lens to take hockey photos. Both fit easily into the bag with space for any number of other items including a hat and gloves for the cold arena. Dedicated space for a phone, my wallet, etc. and even an exterior water bottle pocket. It zips up securely and Carrie's comfortably. Glad I bought it!

I have yet to really put the new Vision 15 through its paces, but it's been a pleasure to own so far due to the design and materials. I feels substantial without feeling heavy. I'm glad I went for the 15, even though the 13 seems like it could have met my needs. There's just more breathing room in the bag for the same amount of stuff.

Just the size I needed for a Sony A6400 with 30mm sigma lens and storage for flash and Sony 55-210 lens.

Not only can I fit my tripods, but also lights, external bags, and smaller tripods. I bought two of these for my videos shoots and aside from those all I need is my camera bag and everything else fits into two of these bags. Great value for the price!

Very nicely designed bag for a smaller size with complete protection. Love the included rain cover. My only suggestion is to make the zipper on the front pouch a double zipper. Love the bag!

The Studio Manager 52 was the perfect size for my c-stand, light stands, and a couple of modifiers. Like all Think Tank products I own, it?s well made and smartly designed with grab handles on all 4 sides, compression straps, and soft rollers. Oddly, the only thing it lacks is a place to slide in a business card. Other than that, the only other thing I wish it came with was someone to help carry/roll it. ?? Think Tank customer service never disappoints, and I know they stand by their products.
