Enhanced Stability for Boom and Light Stands

The Manfrotto G100 sand bag anchors boom and light stands to prevent accidental tipping during photography and videography sessions. Made from durable nylon, it withstands indoor and outdoor conditions for reliable, long-lasting support. It is built for professionals who need a dependable counterbalance for lighting equipment on set.

Weight Capacity and Fill Flexibility

The bag holds up to 13 lbs of sand, reaching approximately 13.3 pounds (6.03 kg) when filled for ample stability. It ships empty so you can customise the weight using sand or alternative materials such as lead sinkers. This design lets you match the ballast precisely to each specific lighting setup.

Replaces Improvised Counterweights

This sand bag replaces makeshift solutions like loose weights or bags that shift during a shoot, offering a dedicated, secure attachment point for stands. The jump is worth it when you need consistent, repeatable stability and faster setup changes between locations. It is not suited for rigs requiring significantly more ballast than the stated capacity.
