Visual Departures SB-2 Overview

Steadybag allows fast, rock-solid shooting on any surface, eliminating time-consuming tripod setup.  It conforms to any uneven surface bringing a new freedom to location still and video photography.  Steadybag is filled with custom-milled polypropylene beads in an outer casing made of rugged waterproof expedition-grade nylon, and it comes with a padded shoulder strap.

If you use the Arca-Swiss type system of quick release camera and/or lens plates (from Acratech, Arca-Swiss, Foba, Novoflex or Wimberley) and seek the ultimate stability upon a beanbag, you'll find it by attaching two Wimberley Module 1 quick release arms (B&H item code "WIM1") to the quick release plate.  Connected to the quick release plate so that the arms face in opposite directions, a snowshoe-like foot is created which makes switching the camera from horizontal/vertical within the lens collar a cinch.

Trusty companion

This bag has been my trusty companion for last two years... Recently lost it while using it to rest the camera while flying on the back seat of the Paratrike, flying over the dunes. As soon as I reached back home had to order a new one, just can't live without one :) I am using it with smaller mirrorless cameras, as well as Red Komodo with DZOFilm Pictor Zooms and works with larger cameras like V-Raptor with heavier lenses. Just the right size, and forms quickly and perfectly on the terrain and the shape of your camera. A must have!

Simply works

needed a lightweight bag to place my camera on in a flatbed truck while shooting video. Did a great job of taking the bumps out of my shot. Not a gyro but does the trick.

See any errors on this page?

The weight says 7 pounds! That seems really heavy ...

The weight says 7 pounds! That seems really heavy for a bag. What is it filled with? Seems like styrofoam pellets would not be that heavy. So, what makes this bag so heavy?
