Filled it with pennies and it works GREAT!

Bag seems to be sturdy but unless you have access to a heavy duty sewing machine, there is no way of securing the ends once filled.

Although this is a nice sturdy bag for its purpose I was a little disappointed once it arrived. This is a one-time fill bag unless you are handy with a sewing machine and can add a zipper to close it or open it. It would work well for sand or rocks to add weight for keeping a C-stand sturdy. You may even be able to use small binder clips to close the flap. This is ideal for bringing to a location and gathering weighting materials for the shoot and leaving the material behind once you are done.

I'm always satisfied with the products I get from Adorama. The sand bag was delivered on time and though it's a sand bag, I put small pebbles in the bag instead because sand...just gets everywhere. The bag feels very durable and it does its job well and every time I use it, I don't have to worry about anything tipping over. Having one less thing to worry about while shooting (especially tipping lights/stands) is great. Overall, very satisfied with this product!

There's no easy way to close these up once you fill them with sand. You're expected to sew them on your own which isn't easy from a photo studio stand point

Great but filling them yourself is not that easy. Better to get the ones with zippers. For these you have to get someone to sew that can sew heavy canvas.

These are excellent sandbags for small lights used indoors. They are heavy enough to keep lights from tipping over but not so heavy as to make them difficult to move around. They are very well made with excellent stitching and don't leak sand when you put them down like so many sandbags you fill yourself. Highly recommended.

The fact that you need a heavy duty sewing machine to complete the manufacture of this product at home should be in big, bold letters at the top odf the description. I would not have bought it if I knew I was going to have to finish making it. I hate to rate the product poorly over the fact that it was poorly described. But that's what I'm going to do.

There's a lot of sandbags out there, a lot of bad sandbags. I wanted a pro level bag that didn't cost an arm and a leg. To be clear, a pro level bag means you have to finish stitching the bag up after you've filled it with sand which is exactly what this is. There's no zippers to fail and spill sand everywhere. You can either keep buying sandbags or you can buy this one once.

heavy duty material. Also nice looking bag.

Please understand that these are DIY, and a very heavy duty sewing machine is needed to close them. It should be in the title, but it isn't.

Just lay the filled sandbags across your tripod, umbrella, or light stand and it gives it stability.

Nice product, but I bought the wrong one, as I wanted the zipper one instead of the unsewn one. My mistake.
