Flashpoint Brand 25 lbs Saddle Shot Bag Cordura Nylon Black

SKU CH-PV04-11F2W

Water-resistant Cordura nylon saddle bag holds 25 lbs of steel ballast to anchor light stands and boom arms securely

  • Water-resistant Cordura nylon protects gear in damp conditions
  • 25 lbs of steel-ball fill anchors stands against tipping
  • Reinforced nylon strap allows quick attachment to stands or hooks
  • Polyurethane-coated underside adds durability for repeated location use
  • Military-style stitching secures the strap under heavy load

What it is and who needs it

The Flashpoint saddle shot bag is a 25 lbs counterweight made from water-resistant Cordura nylon with a polyurethane-coated underside. It is filled with 2 mm steel balls for high density and features a reinforced nylon hanging strap with military-style stitching. Photographers and videographers use it to anchor light stands or balance boom arms during studio and location work.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This bag suits crews who need a single, durable weight that can be hung quickly from a stand or hook and that resists moisture on outdoor shoots. It does not suit buyers who need a lighter sandbag for travel, a heavier counterweight for large fixtures, or a bag with multiple attachment points for complex rigging.

Behaviour under sustained load

The steel-ball fill keeps the mass compact so the bag stays centred on the stand without shifting during long sessions. The Cordura shell and coated underside resist abrasion and damp ground when the bag rests on location surfaces for hours. The military-grade stitching on the hanging strap maintains a secure grip under continuous tension from boom arms or wind-loaded stands.

Questions about this item

What type of light stand or boom arm do I need to use this 25 lbs saddle shot bag with?

The bag includes a reinforced nylon hanging strap designed to attach to standard light stands, counterweight hooks, or boom arms for secure anchoring.

Can I combine this 25 lbs shot bag with lighter sandbags I already own for extra stability?

Yes, this 25 lbs bag adds substantial counterweight and works alongside any existing sandbags to increase overall stand stability and balance.

How can I confirm the bag is properly secured and balancing my light stand after setup?

The stand should remain completely stationary without tipping or shifting when the bag hangs vertically from the strap, with the steel ball fill evenly distributed.
