Does anyone have suggestions for a good carrying case that can fit the K&M 14990 Trombone Stand, and a Desca Presto Stand? I was thinking a tripod carrying case that is at least somewhat padded/protected and weather resistant. What are some that you use, or what are some brands/sites that you trust?

I have one of each of these. I carry them separately in two tripod bags, since I don't always need a music stand as well as a trombone stand. Both easily carried by hand or over shoulder.

K&M 14990 — SLIK 23" Tripod bag (no padding but very sturdy and protective):

Desca <I>Presto</I> Stand — VidPro TC-22 Padded Tripod Bag (not really heavily padded):

The Presto stand would fit just fine in the $7 SILK case.

For extra protection, I wrap each device in a microfiber dish drying mat like the following:

except that I buy my mats for a $1.00-$2.00 at the local dollar store.

These mats serve the dual purpose of sitting on the floor adjacent to my trombone stand to collect and absorb effluent from the trombone water valve - keeps the floor clean and dry near my feet!

Problem solved for less than 20 bucks!

Not directly on topic, since you didn't mention music. But I thought I'd mention this for others.

I carry a trombone stand, a microphone stand plus iPad holder, and a 12.9" iPad pro to gigs. I just found a used Prince tennis bag that is perfect for this.

I use a wheeled duffle bag. It holds my trombone stand, Hercules stand, mutes, stand light, an extra coat... almost anything I need for a gig except the horn.

A trombone gig back works great.

Need something lighter? A pbone case is a good carry bag. My pbone case holds the fishing rods.

I found a wheeled duffel bag at a thrift store for $1.50. It carries trombone stand, tuba stand, music stand, folders for trombone and tuba, lubes, rags, etc. it advertises Marlboro cigarettes, so it’s a micro-aggression to some, I suppose, but for the price, I don’t care.
