Empty saddle sandbag made from water-resistant Cordura nylon stabilises light stands and boom arms with up to 27 lb of ballast

  • Stabilises light stands and booms with up to 27 lb of ballast
  • Water-resistant Cordura nylon withstands outdoor conditions and heavy use
  • Double zipper closure speeds filling and emptying on set
  • Saddle design fits stands, boom arms and background supports
  • Two reinforced handles allow secure carrying and positioning

Stabilising light stands and booms

This empty saddle sandbag is built to anchor light stands, boom arms and background supports in the studio or on location. It targets photographers and videographers who need a reliable counterweight that can be filled on site and moved between sets quickly. The saddle profile wraps securely over a stand leg or boom, keeping the load centred and reducing the chance of accidental tipping.

Sustained load performance

When filled to its 27 lb rating with sand, soil, rocks or similar ballast, the bag maintains consistent weight distribution during long shooting sessions. The double zipper closure keeps the fill material contained even when the bag is repositioned repeatedly, and the Cordura nylon shell resists abrasion from rough surfaces and frequent handling. No settling or leakage occurs that would reduce stability over time.

Weather resistance and handling

Water-resistant Cordura nylon protects the fill from rain and damp ground, so the bag remains effective in outdoor conditions. Two reinforced handles allow secure carrying and positioning without straining seams or zippers. The empty bag adds negligible weight to a kit, and the striped blue-and-black fabric stays visible in low light without any reflective coating or powered illumination.

Questions about this item

Does the Cordura nylon stay water-resistant after weeks of outdoor use in heat and rain?

The water-resistant Cordura nylon is built to withstand harsh weather and rigorous outdoor use, keeping the bag durable through extended shoots.

What filling material do I need to supply before the 27 lb sandbag can anchor my light stand?

You provide the weight — sand, soil, rocks or even old dumbbells — then zip the double closure to reach the rated 27 lb capacity.

Will the saddle shape and handles fit the older light stands and boom arms I already own?

The saddle design sits on light stands, boom arms and background frames, while the two robust handles let you position it on legacy gear.
