Manfrotto Tripod Sand Bag 35kg
Can be used with Junior or Baby boom arm.
Sandbag/Shot bag not included.
Achieve unwavering stability and ultimate peace of mind on any set with the Manfrotto Tripod Sand Bag, designed to handle a substantial payload of up to 35kg (77.16 lbs). An essential piece of equipment for professional photographers and videographers, this extra-large sandbag is the definitive solution for securing your valuable gear in demanding environments. Whether you are shooting in a busy studio or battling the elements on location, this accessory ensures your setup remains completely steady, protecting your equipment and guaranteeing the perfect shot.
This is an Extra Large Sandbag for weighting down lighting stands, tripod legs or booms. Its primary benefit lies in its ability to provide a solid, reliable anchor, preventing costly and dangerous accidents. By significantly lowering the center of gravity of your stands and tripods, it drastically reduces the risk of them tipping over, especially when using heavy lighting modifiers like softboxes and beauty dishes, or when extending boom arms to their maximum reach. This stability is crucial for capturing sharp, blur-free images during long exposures and for maintaining consistent framing in video production.
Crafted for the rigors of professional use, this counterweight bag is Made of Durable Black Nylon. The robust material is designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily transport and on-set use, ensuring a long-lasting investment for your kit. The classic saddlebag design allows it to be draped effortlessly over tripod legs, stand bases, or boom arms, providing a versatile and quick-to-deploy stabilization solution. The dual-zippered compartments can be filled with your choice of ballast—sand, gravel, or shot—allowing you to customize the weight precisely to your needs, up to its maximum capacity.
As part of the Photo-video Accessories category, this product is a non-negotiable tool for anyone serious about safety and quality. It is indispensable for outdoor shoots where wind can be a major factor, and equally vital in the studio for counterbalancing boom poles and microphone stands. Its generous size and high payload capacity make it suitable for even the heaviest C-stands and lighting rigs, offering a level of security that smaller bags simply cannot match.
Rental Policy

Sunday is not a paid rental day if you wish to return Sunday and cannot (because we are closed). In that case, you will return first thing Monday morning.
To schedule to return Monday morning without getting charged for Sunday: Set the return for Saturday at 5:30pm. (If you are unable to select a return time of 5:30pm, the equipment is unavailable for weekend rental). During checkout, write in the notes that you will be returning Monday morning.

Pick-Up Discrepancies
Orders made during our closed hours will not be processed until the next morning that we are open and therefore will allow for some discrepancies.
We share our inventory between our Orem and Salt Lake City store and do our best to have equipment in the location that you wish to pick up. Consequently, last minute orders cannot be guaranteed to be all in one location as we are not given time to prep.
