Flashpoint Brand Empty Saddle Sandbag 15 lb Black

SKU CH-1JBD-XZK6M

Water-resistant Cordura nylon saddle sandbag holds up to 15 lb to stabilise light stands and boom arms

  • Water-resistant Cordura nylon protects gear in harsh conditions
  • Saddle design distributes weight evenly to prevent light-stand tipping
  • 15 lb capacity anchors equipment without excessive bulk
  • Double zipper closure keeps fill material secure during transport
  • Two sturdy handles simplify positioning and breakdown on set

Lighting sandbag for stands

The Flashpoint Empty Saddle Sandbag is built for photographers and videographers who need to anchor light stands, boom arms or background supports on location or in the studio. Its saddle shape straddles the stand legs to distribute weight evenly and resist tipping. The bag ships empty so users can choose their own fill material.

Water-resistant Cordura nylon shell

Dense Cordura nylon resists moisture and abrasion during outdoor shoots, keeping the fill dry and the bag intact through repeated use. A double zipper closure seals the compartment securely, preventing spillage when the bag is moved or repositioned. Two integrated handles allow quick, confident carrying between setups.

15 lb capacity with flexible fill

The bag accepts up to 15 lb of sand, soil, gravel or other dense material, letting crews match the counterweight to the specific rig. It is not suited for productions that require heavier ballast or permanent fixed installations. The empty design also means it packs flat for transport but must be filled before each job.

Questions about this item

How do I fill the sandbag through the double zipper without spilling?

Lay the bag flat, open both zipper pulls fully, pour sand or alternative fill slowly into the wide opening, then close both zippers completely so the contents stay contained during moves.

What fill materials can I use and when should I replace them?

Sand, soil, rocks or old dumbbells all work; replace the fill if it gets wet, clumps, or leaks through the zipper seams, and inspect the Cordura nylon for abrasion after heavy location use.

At what point does the 15 lb capacity limit become a problem on a tall light stand?

In high wind or with a heavy modifier on a tall stand, 15 lb may not resist tipping; add a second bag or use a wider-base stand when the load feels unstable.
