Re: Seat box advice please !!
I am struggling to find a really light box! The browning black magic easy box is easily the lightest thus far at 5.7 kilos! The octbox compact which looks superb is , according to the company 15 kilos with four drawers! I am surprised at that ! That is too much to carry! The pursuit continues!

Have a look at these Mike, specifically the options without the footplate.
I've no idea on the weight but having owned something along the lines of the S3 I can confirm that it came in at a smidgen of the weight you quoted.
I'm no expert but I would be surprised if it came in at three kilos or above...

MAP also do their own attatchments, you will find most major brands attatchments will fit other brands of box depending on leg size, The preston inserts are for the various style of leg that preston do, A preston pole support will set you back around £45+ whereas a Daiwa one for 25mm legs will be around £25, Sensas upto 30mm legs £35, so shop around,

Whilst I am still thinking about a light box Rick Tyler of Octbox has been very helpful in giving advice and assistance! He tells me The compact without the bait waiter weighs 3.2kg and the bait waiter adds 1.3kg
A two drawer tray would add 2.5 kilos! So without the extra drawers the box would be 4.5 kilos ie very light and still light with them! Mm decisions decisions!Last edited by mikench; 16-05-2018 at 11:37.

Google the Maver signature Venue box, its around £190, the octbox , the same as any other box of similar weight is light
until you start putting stuff in them, ask yourself why are some boxes designed to have a wheel kit fitted ? it is to help transport them. My boss box has a wheel kit, that is a beast of a box if I load it up, The daiwa you saw when we went to Dunham had the facility to have a wheel kit fitted, My preston absolute didn't, you got adaptors so it would fit on a preston space shuttle, If Collin brings his to Lloyds Meadow on Wednesday, try picking it up, Its heavy but once set up is very sturdy.
