Because stability and safety are paramount in any fitness or photography setup, these small, durable weight sand bags, capable of holding up to 5 lbs each, are an essential addition to your equipment. Crafted from robust nylon fabric, these bags are designed to withstand rigorous use and resist wear and tear. Featuring secure Velcro closures, these bags are engineered to prevent leakage, ensuring your sand or other chosen filler stays put during your workouts or shoots. Please note, these bags are not intended to be filled with water. For optimal use, we recommend filling these bags with sand on location, offering you the convenience of easy transportation and adjustable weight. To ensure the longevity of your sand bags, it's best to encase your sand in a separate plastic bag before inserting it into the weight bag. Ideal for anchoring tripods or light stands, especially when using a boom arm, these black weight sand bags provide the necessary counterbalance to prevent tipping. Sold in a pack of two, these versatile weight bags are designed by Flashpoint to meet the needs of athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and photographers alike. Incorporate these practical and sturdy weight sand bags into your routine for an enhanced, secure, and efficient workout or photography experience.

I put one 1.5 lb sandbag in each pocket, then I hung it on my tripod (setup in my parlor). The next morning the two pocket bags were separated. The one side has the hook-eye on it, and was still hanging, but the other side was sewed to the first - - The Stitches broke and this bag was on the floor. Luckily I have a sewing machine - I make my own curtains and household stuff. I sewed it back together using the same stitch line and it is perfect now. People should be aware of the stitching issue- or was it a one-off.

Questionable Stitching

It works as well it should as a sand bag. Though the shipping was more than the price of product itself. Real shameful

Okay as it should be. Shipping costs was a crying shame

Flashpoint Weight Sand Bag, Holds 10 Lbs

Bought this bag to use with my cantilevered light stand as a counterweight.  I needed a bag that held at least 5 pounds but was smallerr or shaped differently to allow me to keep it in the bag with the light stand.  This bag works for that.  The only complaint I have it that the metal ring between the two sides is already ripping out and I havent even used it yet!

Decent bag

Well made and does the job preventing a light stand from toppling over when using umbrellas or soft box.

Light stand stabilizer

I needed these sandbags to weigh down my new c-stand.  I ordered 2.  They arrived in good condition and they are extremely well constructed.  2 zippers on each side ensure the sand will not spill out.  They look cool too!  Just right for what I needed.

Quality Weight Sand Bags

Handy sand bag, easy to keep a few in the trunk if you need them. Great for the price.

Handy small sandbag

These bags were more than advertised. They are well made with double zippers that keep your sand or gravel from leaking out. The come with handles on top for easy placement and the stripes help make them visible without being distracting. This version is the lighter weight option so look for the heavier ones if you have large equipment.

Well Made Tool!

The sandbag came ripped and leaked out sand in all of my camera bag, when tried to return under warrenty to adorama they insisted i pay full return shipping, essentially doubling the cost of the product and making it useless to try and have replaced. would not recommend, go for a higher quality bag

Bag ripped immediately

I need gear that works, and I choose gear that works regardless of name...

Rugged reliable, what a pro needs

better off with a plastic bag and canned veggies.

too small to be very useful.

Fill it with rocks or sand. Leave it on the ground and connect it to your tripod with a bungee cord.

Stabalizer

I have the 10 lbs. version. I would (did) recommend this.

From the comments it appears that this product has changed slightly through the years it's been offered, but the current version is pretty much what's stated. It does have double zippers on each side, which is sufficient to keep the gravel I use as weight safely in place with reasonable care. BTW, I got my gravel from a local home supply store. It's pea gravel, not fine sand.

The quality is more than sufficient given the price. I don't expect them to fall apart with reasonable use, say in my studio.

Inexpensive, but adequate

Great product has a double zipper to ensure the sand doesn't come out easy. If I could promote this product on my youtube channel I would... hint hint adorama let me do it

Very good sand bag

You get what you pay for. Inner zippers were sewn poorly or arrived broken. Bags split and broke on first job. Definitely light duty. Do not drop. Spend the extra money on heavy duty Mathews bags.

Cheap, and cheaply made

Great value and quality.  Don’t know why I waited so long to get there.

Worth every penny

The bag I received had no zipper just a small amount of velcro. Sand spills out everywhere. Some have suggested using plastic bags but the bag is stitched through the middle so it is almost impossible to get bags in the sides and then get them filled.

Not as described!

I purchased one of these 10 lb blue and black striped bags and one of the smaller 5 lb black bags. The reviews on the site are a combination for both types of bags. The black 5 lb bag is almost useless unless you don't mind sand everywhere. There are NO zippers, just a velcro flap, however, the blue with black stripe bag is well worth the money and has 2 zippers on each side to prevent the sand from leaking out. I don't think the zippers are very strong but once the sand is in and the zippers zipped up, I see no reason they might fail. So in review, the blue with black stripe 10 lb bag is a good purchase worthy of 5 stars. I'm sorry I purchased the black 5 lb bag.

The blue with black stipes GOOD BAG

I purchased one of these 5 lb black sand bags and one of the 10 lb blue and black striped. The reviews on the site are a combination for both types of bags. This black 5 lb bag is almost useless unless you don't mind sand everywhere. There are NO zippers, just a velcro flap that does not seal well at all. Each side is also stitched vertically through the middle so trying to fit a ziplock bag inside is not worth the struggle. I plan to empty the sand and put bolts in this bag but I did not purchase it to have to find something other than sand to use it.

Go with the blue and black striped bag

I highly recommend these to add stability to your tripod. I fill zip lock baggies with sand, then place them in the pouch.

Well made

Works as advertised. Used on outdoor shoot. Helped keep lighting stable. 

Worth the money.

Filling them yourself is not that easy. You have to find the playground sand, which is easy but then you should probably put the sand in a plastic bag first.

Great Bags, Great for travel

These bags are well made and do the job - I might need another 2 in windy weather. Worth purchasing

Lightstand weights

Purchased 4 weight bags and very pleased with overall construction and quality for the price. Doubled zippers on both bag flaps, carrying handle and back brace. Use with FlashPoint C Stand and other light stands.  Overall good product and will do the job.

Hold-em Down

Ordered 2 of these bags for studio use. Overall nice and large for an excellent price. Each side has a double zipper. One of the two I ordered had a defective inner zipper that won't seal. The other is fine. Not worth paying the postage to send back for replacement. I filled several small zip lock bags with sand and put them inside. more than enough weight for my application. I use 2 of them on the legs of my boom stand. Probably can hold more than 10 pounds easily. The contractor needs to check on the zippers before shipping. Overall I'm fine with these and they work as intended.

Decent, but quality control needs improvement

It's a bag, it holds sand and small rocks. It works great, zips up tight to avoid spills and is as easy to carry as a weight can get! The blue striping does help visibility in dark environments, but I wouldn't call it "bright" either.

Does what it needs to do.

These bags do the job.  They're rugged, and at a good price.

Good construction, good price

A must have for grips, gaffers and anyone needing to use sand bags

A Must have

An inexpensive way to keep lighting stands upright &  where you want them.
