|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board nifty gadget for your PW's Juliann Tallino, Photographer, Photo Editor Port Townsend/Seattle | WA | USA | Posted: 3:13 PM on 12.12.07 ->> http://www.hildozine.com/ It's a caddy for your PW's that will attach it to light stands and other things, a bit more securely than velcro. Don't have one, haven't seen one in person, but it looked kind of handy so I thought I'd share.  This post is:  Informative (4) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I constantly have to be careful not to bang my PWs on my light stands when I move them!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I don't understand why they have not improved the physical design and at least build a smaller case. They could easily have an indentation case so they could be strapped easily to a lightstand. I mean come on a 2" square of velco.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Not to hijack the thread but how do you all store your PW when you're finished with a shoot? I currently use a Think Tank Chimp Cage for my three pws. How do you do it?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I have at least two that need to go in to be repaired and a third with a very loose antenea.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I've never felt comfortable with only velcro holding them to the strobe or stand. $30.00 for two of them is not allot to ask for the peace of mind. Thanks for the link Julie.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I have a Halliburton case designated for "Lighting" that I keep all of my PWs, film-era SB-xx speedlights, and AA charger in. I use cut foam inserts to nest everything in.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

To store our PW's, we use Lowepro point and shoot camera bags. The one we have found that works best is model number Z20. It holds the PW and sync cord well, and they have a pocket on the front for batteries. We do not fly for assignments, so we pack each light in its own Paul C Buff strobe carrying bag. Each bag has one strobe (WL1600), power cord, PW in affore mentioned Z20, small reflector, and one superclamp. Hope this helps, Sam  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The PW has a curved back and the PW Caddy is flat, not curved. I guess they will stay in my remote kit and be used when I need them.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I think they work great on the Multimax units. I am not sure what issue you are having. Yes, they are a little thicker but they do still fit in my TT bag. I just ordered 2 more! I am tired of having dangling PW's and this is a good answer for me.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

And I like to use a padded pouch for each of my PW's which won't work with the caddy installed. It's not a big deal, I am not even considering returning them, just commenting for those interested.
