Profoto Empty Sandbag 15 lbs Capacity

This two-pack of empty sandbags is designed for photographers and videographers who need reliable ballast for light stands, boom arms, or tripods. Each bag accepts up to 15 lbs of sand or similar material to prevent accidental tipping during studio or location shoots. The durable polyester construction withstands rigorous professional use in various weather conditions. They provide a secure base that reduces the risk of equipment falls and damage.

Wide Opening for Quick Filling and Emptying

The wide opening design allows for fast, convenient filling with sand or other weighting materials and effortless emptying when breaking down gear. This simple, user-friendly feature supports efficient workflow for professionals who set up and strike equipment frequently. No tools or complex mechanisms are required to operate the bags. The straightforward design minimises setup time on critical shooting sessions.

Verify Stand Compatibility

Before ordering, confirm that your light stands, boom arms, or tripods have suitable attachment points or legs for draping these sandbags securely. Ensure you have access to sand or an alternative fill material at your shooting location, as the bags ship empty. The bags rely on user-supplied weight to function, so plan for transport of fill material if working on location. Check that the 15 lbs capacity per bag meets the stability requirements for your specific equipment load.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the sandbags are providing the full 15 lbs of stabilising weight after filling them?

Fill each bag until the material reaches the top of the wide opening, then weigh the closed bag on a scale to confirm it reads 15 lbs before draping it over the light-stand leg.

What comes in the 2-pack and is any filling material included?

The pack contains two empty polyester sandbags with wide openings for filling; sand or alternative weighting material must be purchased separately.

Should I choose a different capacity bag for heavier boom arms versus standard light stands?

Each bag in this 2-pack is rated for a maximum of 15 lbs when filled, so select this version when your stands or boom arms require up to that amount of counterweight.
