Great quality construction. When I ordered the bag I had no idea it was coming already filled with sand. A welcomed surprise. But I was really surprised at the quality of the construction. Much better than I anticipated. THis is really commercial quality piece. a good investment.

What is the recommended weight of the sandbag for stabilizing an Aputure 300d with Light Dome II on a Matthew C-stand? Thanks.
Asked by: Steve K
Generally, you could get away with having up to two of these bags on the C-stand in optimal conditions. However, it's never a bad idea to have more counterweight on hand for added safety.
