Who knew...

I have purchased the Life Saver Bag hoping to lighten my load when I traveled to a location for a shoot. I was going to return it thinking it wasn't going to work well. I am so glad that I kept it. You can use water or sand to fill up the Life Saver. I have chose to use water. I would fill up the life saver at the location and dump the water out afterwards making it easier for me to move it around. If there is no running water at the location, I will fill the Life Saver with water before leaving and put it in to a small plastic box just incase it does decide to leak and then I dump the water out afterwards. So far I had this Life Saver for about a year and have not had it leak on me yet. I use the bag to stabilize my c-stand for my wireless strobe. Couldn't be happier.

Perfect for directional signs

The Life Saver sand bag is exactly what was needed to place over the base of our outdoor directional sign. Heavy enough to keep the sign from being blown or knocked over by people walking by (we filled it w/sand). And because it surrounds the base of our sign, the Life Saver has made the sign and the sand bag itself theft proof. Everyone at the Hotel has commented how practical the product is.

question

Any decent way to hang this from the built-in hook on my tripod?
Asked by: MO
The saddle bag has a handle made from nylon that you could use to hook onto the built in hook on your tripod. Just make sure that your tripod will handle the weight of your camera, lens, and whatever amount of weight you put into the saddle bag.

question

What is the diameter of the hole in the middle of this sand weight? Thanks!
Asked by: Victoria H.
It has a 5 diameter. FYI - this is a water bag, not a sand bag.
