Re: Help with Light kit to travel with

I actually leave the wheels on all the time. I've never had them damaged in over 3 years of heavy travel. So far, no one has ever dinged me for an oversize bag... only weight. (Plus a replacement trolly (wheels) is pretty inexpensive.

I was in Salt Lake checking in for a flight to DC the other day and watched the TSA guys flinging all the bags several feet to the belt. We complained about it and stood there and watched them put our bags on the conveyer more carefully. After it's out of sight... it takes a hell of a lot of abuse.
