5 lb Empty Saddle Sandbag

The Flashpoint Brand Empty Saddle Sandbag is a new lighting and studio accessory built from water-resistant Cordura nylon with blue and black stripes. It is designed for photographers, videographers and fitness enthusiasts who need a reliable anchor for stands, boom arms or backdrops. The saddle-style construction wraps securely over equipment legs to prevent tipping during sessions. Users fill the bag themselves with sand, soil or rocks to reach the desired weight up to the 5 lb capacity.

Water-Resistant Cordura Build and Double Zipper

The dense Cordura nylon shell resists moisture and abrasion for long-lasting use in both indoor and outdoor environments. Two robust zippers allow quick filling and emptying so weight can be adjusted on the spot without tools or mess. Two integrated handles make it easy to carry and reposition the bag between setups or locations. The secure closure system keeps contents contained even when the bag is moved frequently.

Stabilises Light Stands, Booms and Backdrops

This sandbag replaces improvised weights such as camera bags or loose sand piles that shift and fail to grip equipment legs. The saddle design distributes load evenly across the base, removing the wobble that compromises framing or safety. The jump is worth it when you work on uneven floors, outdoors in wind, or with tall boom arms that demand a low centre of gravity. It is not for users who need more than 5 lb of ballast per bag or who require a pre-filled, non-adjustable weight.

Questions about this item

What is the weight capacity of the Flashpoint saddle sandbag and what does that limit in practice?

The bag holds up to 5 lb of fill, which caps the counter-weight you can apply to a light stand, boom arm or backdrop to prevent tipping.

What physical features let this sandbag mount on equipment?

A saddle-style cut straddles the leg or arm, while two reinforced handles let you lift and position the filled bag quickly.

How do you fill the sandbag and what step is often missed?

Open both robust zippers, add sand, soil or rocks up to 5 lb, then close both zippers fully so the fill cannot spill during use.
