The reflectors on my Profoto D1's were getting beat to hell by the baggage handlers recently, so I decided to trade in my lightwares for something a little beefier.
A lot of the gear I've rented has come in Versa-Flex cases so I thought, maybe those rental houses are on to something... or are they just "on something?" I gave a call to Larry at Versa-Flex to order up three new strobe cases... his MU1724's seemed like they'd be a good replacement for my MF1623's. Firstly, somebody is either being stingy or generous on their spec.s because the Versa-Flex's are definitely more than 1x1 inch bigger inside. Secondly, these things are ROBUST.... I totally love them, and I feel much safer booking my next travel date. The cases arrived in 2 or 3 weeks, I don't really remember how long it's been... less time than I had to wait for the lightware cases to be in stock, I know that. All in all I'm a happy camper. I've heard reports that there stuff can often have a long lead time, but I'm pretty happy with my delivery time. I've also got him working on a couple custom stand and tripod cases and am anxious to get those too.
Cool, Yo.

They desperately need a better website.

CB,
Are the more robust Versa-flex case much heavier than its Lightware counterpart?

I'd estimate about 3 lbs heavier. Negligible.
