Comments about Impact Empty Saddle Sandbag - 5 lb (Orange Cordura):
I have at least six sandbags ranging from 5 pounds to 25 pounds. Tripods, lightstands... who in their right mind would risk having their gear topple? Invest in some sandbags they're worth the money.

Comments about Impact Empty Saddle Sandbag - 5 lb (Orange Cordura):
Surprised that this lower cost option bag was sturdy and well stitched. The double zipper design is great and the mechanical operation of the zippers was smooth and easy. Handle is well designed. Put plastic bags inside this bag, then filled with sand. Expected lower price meant less quality. NOT so. Great bag. As good as they get.

This sandbag is just right for indoor use with light-weight light stands. Not recommended for heavier lights or outdoor use in windy conditions. Easy to transport - full or empty.

Comments about Impact Empty Saddle Sandbag - 5 lb (Orange Cordura):
Works well with smaller stands for lighting or to hang for extra weight for a tripod. Product is made out of good sturdy material and well made zipper. I used zip-loc bags filled with kitty litter for the filler. Bag weighs in at 4.5 lbs filled with this material.

Comments about Impact Empty Saddle Sandbag - 5 lb (Orange Cordura):
I have various sizes of this brand; these are the perfect compact sandbags. Double zipper, durable, don't trip over me orange color!
I use heavy chain instead of sand. It's perfect, no mess, dense and compact! The bags are currently loaded with 11 - 15 lbs. of chain and only half full!

You NEED sand bags. If you made it this far, just drop a couple in your cart. Cheap and simple. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Comments about Impact Empty Saddle Sandbag - 5 lb (Orange Cordura):
Got this to use with light-weight lightstands and a boom. I often use them outdoors and was tired of having every little gust of wind blow them over. The Impact Sandbag was about the cheapest option, but it works very well at adding stability to the stands. Two Sandbags would really be ideal, or maybe if this one held a bit more weight. But overall I've got no complaints - it does the job and looks like it should last.

Comments about Impact Empty Saddle Sandbag - 5 lb (Orange Cordura):
Used to anchor mono light stands when shooting on location. Also used to anchor background stands and prop stands. Filled with sand, but steel shot would probably work better.
