FAQ

What materials are used in the construction of the Matthews sandbag?

The Matthews sandbag is constructed with a heavy-duty Cordura or vinyl fabric outer shell, and features a waterproof inner liner for added durability.

How does the waterproof inner liner benefit the sandbag?

The waterproof inner liner prevents the sand from getting wet, which helps avoid freezing in cold conditions and maintains the sandbag's malleability.

What are the advantages of the linear/butterfly handle design?

The linear/butterfly handle spans the width of the sandbag, allowing for easy lifting from the outer edges, which is useful for molding the sandbag around stands or other objects without disturbance.

Yes, the vinyl fabric is mildew and ultraviolet resistant, preventing mildew build-up and color fading from sun exposure.

About Matthews Waterproof Sandbag OB

A Matthews 35 lbs Water Repellant Sandbag in vibrant orange is an essential tool for photographers, videographers, and production crews who require reliable stabilization for their equipment. This open box item offers the same high-quality performance as a new product, ensuring your gear remains secure in various conditions. Sandbags are crucial for adding extra weight to prevent stands from tipping, especially when dealing with off-center loads like heavy scrims or when counterbalancing boom arms.

Designed with durability and safety in mind, each Matthews sandbag features an additional inner liner made of waterproof material. This liner is particularly beneficial in extreme cold conditions, as it prevents the sand from getting wet, thereby avoiding freezing and maintaining the sandbag's malleability. This ensures that the sandbag can effectively mold around any object, prolonging its usability and effectiveness.

The outer shell of the Matthews sandbag is available in two robust materials: heavy-duty Cordura or vinyl fabric. The Cordura option is crafted from flame-resistant and stain-resistant nylon, offering superior protection and longevity. Alternatively, the vinyl fabric is a polyester woven material that resists mildew and ultraviolet rays, preventing mildew build-up and color fading from sun exposure. This material is also guaranteed by the manufacturer against rips and tears, providing peace of mind during demanding shoots.

A unique feature of the Matthews sandbag is its linear/butterfly handle, which spans the width of the bag. This design allows for easy lifting from the outer edges, making it convenient to mold the sandbag around stands or other edged objects without disturbing them. The centrally positioned handle enhances maneuverability, enabling quick adjustments and efficient workflow on set.

Incorporating these features, the Matthews 35 lbs Water Repellant Sandbag is a top-tier choice for professionals seeking a reliable and versatile solution for equipment stabilization.
