Having received the AD200 Pro II flash, I was thinking about something a little bit stronger than the Manfrotto Nanos (which are fine for the smaller AD100) in terms of light stand, yet still very portable... I have Century C-stands that are astounding and I trust them with my life, however they are so heavy I can only use them in the studio! After some comparative research, I settled on this K&F Concept stand which folds “legs up” like a traveling tripod, weighs less than a kilo with a payload of at least 4 (should be enough, the flash is less than a kilo too), and appears quite well made.I am no fan of the levers to lock and unlock the three sections, but that’s the one drawback (in my opinion) and it didn’t deter me from buying it. We will see if that was a mistake or not.Now that the stand issue is behind us, there remains the transport case issue... The AD200 Pro II comes in a very nice Godox-branded hard case with all the parts neatly arranged within, except that they fit so tightly it takes ages to pull any component out, and the flash tube is not even plugged into the head. If I were to use that original case, it would imply taking the bulb off of the head every time I want to stow the flash away, then back on before I use it again. Very unpractical, and very risky for the costly and fragile component that is the flash tube.So, I am in the market again, rifling through my stock of existing soft and hard cases... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> [ATTACH=full]416141[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
