> Yes, they go up to 12 inches wide at the markertek site, then again, as you
go up in size you begin to get into the same price range as the Sport Tube but
without the handy travel discount for Sporting goods, though I think they also
have a discount for video gear, which tripod/light stand carriers like this
are. The Sport Tube works for a lot of people and can be handy that it
collapses down so far... until the day it does that with your plane inside it,
for
whatever reason. I've read plenty of such horror stories right here.
No one solution is perfect for all. I use $7 cardboard concrete tube forms
for some of my plane carriers/storage. But then again I don't take Unlimited
ships around the country by airplane. I drive no more than 30 minutes and
usually
less to get to my flying sites,such as they are, and my main need is sturdy
economy. Not stylishness or compactness beyond what fits somewhere into a
4-door sedan. I miss my SAAB 900 though: with the back seat down, I could haul
just
about anything in it.
