Flashpoint Weight Sand Bag, Small, 5 lb, Pack of 2

Essential Stability Accessory

These small Flashpoint weight bags arrive empty and each holds up to 5 lb of sand to anchor light stands, tripods or boom arms. Rugged nylon construction and Velcro closures keep filler secure during indoor or outdoor shoots. The pack of two gives photographers and videographers a portable counterbalance solution that travels light and fills on location.

Upgrade From Improvised Weights

Replacing makeshift sandbags, gear bags or hanging camera cases with purpose-built ballast eliminates shifting loads and zipper failures that risk toppling expensive lights. The jump is worth it whenever a boom arm extends past the stand’s centre of gravity or when wind gusts threaten a lightweight tripod on location. Dedicated bags also protect sand from spilling into equipment joints.

Sustained Outdoor Use

Nylon fabric resists UV exposure, moisture and abrasion so the bags maintain integrity through repeated location work. Velcro seals stay closed under vibration from passing traffic or wind-buffeted stands, preventing gradual leakage that would reduce ballast over a full-day shoot. Because they ship empty, the bags add negligible weight to a kit until filled, then deliver consistent stability for the duration of the session.
