Just curious, I can't find a use for the 2 straps with the plastic buckles on the vagabond bag. |

I use them to attach it to the lightstand to keep it off the ground and keep the stand more stable instead of having to sand bag them. |

In addition to buckling the VB to my light stand when shooting, I'll also sometimes buckle the folded stand to the VB to carry them short distances, especially if I don't have my stand bag with me. I originally thought the buckles would be useful for strapping the VB to my rolling light case but I haven't found a good way to do that yet. |

It's a chihuahua holder. It keeps them from running around on a location shoot whenever a model insists on bringing one, duh! :P It's also useful when slipping the VB as an impromptu leg weight, ya know... when you gotta throw someone over the boat for being a rat - "ta sleep with tha fishies, see?" :twisted: |

I am due to get a Vega Bond and the use for it is, to STRAP it to a LIGHT STAND to keep your Light Set Up from tipping over....Hope that helps. :) |

Interesting. I didnt think the straps+buckles were strong enough to carry the weight of the battery+inverter. I'll give it a try. So you just strap it on to the lowest vertical section of your light stands? EDIT: Tried it out. Works good. I now see most of the weight is supported by the lightstand. The straps just sort of balance the battery |
