Flashpoint Empty Saddle Sandbag 5 lb Black

Empty Saddle Sandbag for Gear Stability

The Flashpoint Empty Saddle Sandbag is a water-resistant Cordura nylon weight bag built to anchor light stands, tripods and boom arms on set. It ships empty and accepts up to 5 lb of sand, soil, rocks or other ballast so you can adjust the mass to the job. A double-zipper closure locks the fill inside and prevents leaks during moves. Two 1.5" handles make it simple to carry, position and empty between locations.

For Photographers Needing Portable Ballast

This sandbag suits shooters who work on location and need a compact, reusable counterweight that can be filled with whatever material is at hand. The saddle design straddles stand legs and boom arms without extra hardware. Studios that keep permanent sand-filled bags on hand, or productions that require calibrated weights beyond 5 lb, should look at dedicated fixed ballast instead.

5 lb Maximum Fill Capacity

The bag is rated for a 5 lb fill limit, which determines how much counterweight it can safely provide for a single stand or boom. Exceeding that load risks zipper strain and fabric failure, so match the fill weight to the equipment you are securing. If your rig demands more mass per anchor point, you will need additional or higher-capacity bags.
