Think Tank Photo Introduces Stand Manager 52
19 March 2019
Think Tank Photo has announced the Stand Manager 52 with both internal tiedowns and exterior compression straps to secure lighting stands. With four padded handles, shock-absorbing wheels and rear skid rails, the case is also easy to load while transporting to and from a location shoot.
Stand Manager. 52-inches of storage inside.
"C-stands are heavy, oddly shaped and difficult to transport," said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank Photo president and lead designer. "With the Stand Manager 52, you can fit up to 4 C- stands in a highly durable rolling case, making them much easier to transport."
Wheels. Large, shock-absorbing and replaceable wheels.
Transporting light stands can be as much about protecting your car and your fingers as it is about easily moving them, the company pointed out. The $279.75 Stand Manager 52 rolling case solves both problems for stands of any kind.
