Here's a simple idea that might just solve some of your storage woes. If you're looking for a place to store your collection of camera lenses, try organizing them in a clear plastic shoe holder—the kind you hang on the back of a closet door.
When it comes to carrying light stands, it’s usually best to use a dedicated case so they don’t get damaged and carrying them is less of a hassle. But there are times when a case isn’t a viable option. This usually leaves you struggling to carry them all at once or making multiple trips to the car just to get your light stands.
Thankfully, Dave Bode from Tuts Plus has come up with a cheap and clever gear-hack that makes carrying several mismatched light stands a lot less awkward.
