Flashpoint Empty Saddle Sandbag 27 lb Blue & Black Stripes

Stabilising light stands and booms

This empty saddle sandbag is built to anchor light stands, boom arms and background supports in the studio or on location. It targets photographers and videographers who need a reliable counterweight that can be filled on site and moved between sets quickly. The saddle profile wraps securely over a stand leg or boom, keeping the load centred and reducing the chance of accidental tipping.

Sustained load performance

When filled to its 27 lb rating with sand, soil, rocks or similar ballast, the bag maintains consistent weight distribution during long shooting sessions. The double zipper closure keeps the fill material contained even when the bag is repositioned repeatedly, and the Cordura nylon shell resists abrasion from rough surfaces and frequent handling. No settling or leakage occurs that would reduce stability over time.

Weather resistance and handling

Water-resistant Cordura nylon protects the fill from rain and damp ground, so the bag remains effective in outdoor conditions. Two reinforced handles allow secure carrying and positioning without straining seams or zippers. The empty bag adds negligible weight to a kit, and the striped blue-and-black fabric stays visible in low light without any reflective coating or powered illumination.
