Flashpoint Brand 25 lbs Saddle Shot Bag Cordura Nylon Black

What it is and who needs it

The Flashpoint saddle shot bag is a 25 lbs counterweight made from water-resistant Cordura nylon with a polyurethane-coated underside. It is filled with 2 mm steel balls for high density and features a reinforced nylon hanging strap with military-style stitching. Photographers and videographers use it to anchor light stands or balance boom arms during studio and location work.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This bag suits crews who need a single, durable weight that can be hung quickly from a stand or hook and that resists moisture on outdoor shoots. It does not suit buyers who need a lighter sandbag for travel, a heavier counterweight for large fixtures, or a bag with multiple attachment points for complex rigging.

Behaviour under sustained load

The steel-ball fill keeps the mass compact so the bag stays centred on the stand without shifting during long sessions. The Cordura shell and coated underside resist abrasion and damp ground when the bag rests on location surfaces for hours. The military-grade stitching on the hanging strap maintains a secure grip under continuous tension from boom arms or wind-loaded stands.
