Flashpoint Brand 15 lbs Water-Resistant Cordura Nylon Saddle Shot Bag, Black

Stability for Light Stands

The Flashpoint 15 lbs Water-Resistant Cordura Nylon Saddle Shot Bag adds ballast to light stands and boom arms, keeping them steady during photography and video sessions. Its Cordura nylon shell and polyurethane-coated underside resist moisture so the weight stays effective indoors or out. The bag holds fifteen pounds of two-millimetre steel balls, giving a dense, compact profile that will not shift unexpectedly. Photographers and videographers who need reliable counterweighting on location or in the studio will find it purpose-built for that task.

Integration with Support Gear

A military-stitched nylon hanging strap loops over stand columns or hooks, letting the bag hang securely without extra hardware. The strap is rated for the bag's full weight, so it can be attached and repositioned quickly during setup changes. Because the bag is self-contained, it requires no separate sand or filler and leaves no mess if moved between sets. It does not replace a dedicated base plate or fixed ballast for permanent installations where higher mass is required.

Behaviour Over Long Sessions

The water-resistant fabric and coated underside prevent moisture absorption that would otherwise add unpredictable weight or degrade the fill over time. Steel shot retains its density and does not settle unevenly, so the centre of gravity remains constant throughout a shoot. Stitching on the strap and seams is reinforced to handle repeated lifting and hanging without fraying. The bag is not designed for submersion or extreme abrasion, so prolonged exposure to standing water or sharp edges should be avoided.
