So what does one do with ten dollars? Well they go golfing.  I was tired of lugging multiple stands, tripods and umbrellas for each shoot.  It is much simpler for me just to haul one massive bag and break my back in several places. I look a little silly showing up at a shoot with a giant golf bag to say the least but I’d rather keep the $300 versus buying the top Tuffpak unit for airline travel.

Idea blantanly stolen from a Strobist thread.  A good medium is apparently the golf travel bags. These bags are intended for placing your usual golf bag inside of when loading on an airplane and have more beef to them to help protect stands inside. They can be found for around $20-60 on ebay.

So I dremeled out the middle T brace of my bag and left the smaller divider in.  I had one large section for stands and one divider in for a smaller section to keep umbrellas in.  The storage on this bag is overwhelming when I consider how many extra random trinkets I can place in the side sections.
