A photographer needs to transport a pop-up umbrella-style softbox in carry-on luggage to avoid damage but faces difficulty due to its pointy metal frame.
No travel case or bag is specifically designed to safely and compactly carry a pop-up softbox as carry-on luggage, and the current alternatives either risk damage in checked bags or are cumbersome in carry-on.
