These are great bags. Seems that they are well made and will last awhile. Zippers and fabric are nice?? I opted to fill mine with steel shot for a heavier fill weight. The area between the zippers where the handle is stitched on is much wider than the on a traditional sewn-shut butterfly bag. This means they tend to hang a bit lower when saddled over a c-stand leg, or other object.

Great for throwing small barbells or ankle-weights into to weigh your lights-stands down. Well made, double zippered.

The 18lb version is the one you want. It's a much better shape and size than the 27 and 35lb bags. Those are both useless on c stands as they sit on the ground rather than the c stand leg. 15lb bags are nice but just not quite heavy enough. All the bags are really nice quality and I haven't had any issues with them coming apart. I'll update if I end up having any problems with them.

Very tough bags. Strap allows tripod leg to be secure with weight inside tripod legs so you don't trip over them.

These are tough and work well. Use dry beans for light, tripods, and BBs for heavy tripods. Also, Velcro works well to attach them together around the tube leg; so that you don't trip over them.

This was my first C-Stand purchase so I bought the extra 'accessories' like the sandbag. It's all quality. I'm happy with it. Now to go raid the neighborhood sandbox. lol

These bags appear as advertised and work very well. Their design and material are both very rugged and leave much confidence in their use. The only detractor to this design is the secondary "inner" zipper that is placed in each compartment. While I understand the need for a secondary line of security for the sand, or in our case pea gravel, these zippers become increasingly difficult to access as the bag becomes filled, undermining their purpose. Otherwise, these bags are fantastic and we will continue to use them in our community film center space.

As photographers, we often focus our attention on the more "glamourous" tools of photography including cameras, lenses, strobes, and modifiers. Don’t get me wrong — those things are important. Although, there are many other photography studio equipment<...
Good design; holds more sand than specified
By ANDREW B.
The 5# bags hold more like 8-9 pounds of play sand, which make them a really good size. I'd rather have multiple 5# bags than a single 15#. It took me a minute to figure out the design, but there is both an inner and outer zipper, and then the flap folds down over the outer zipper. Shouldn't have any problem with sand leaking out.
Cheap, Essential with nice double zip feature
By WILL C.
The bag is made of thick durable material and it is double zipped to prevent any sand coming out. These bags can take a beating and get thrown around with no issues. I use them on c-stands and anything else that needs weighing down on set. I purchased these without sand and filled it myself.
