Sandbag Weight for Photography & Light Stands with Iron Insert - No Leaks Sand - Hook as a Gift, Liquidation, Winding-up

These are great sandbags on a budget. They aren't the insane overkill quality of the extremely expensive bags, but they are higher quality than many of the other bags I've found on here. The zippers are great, the materials are very nice as well. I also suggest everyone not take "sand" too literally because sand is horrible in any bag like this. Look into small hardware like nuts or gardening pebbles.

Bags are sturdy and easy to fill. As other reviewers suggested, I put sand in quart sized plastic bags which I sealed and then put the sealed plastic bags into the sandbag containers. Double zippers are a bit tricky to close when bags are full but not a problem since they will stay filled. If I was going to remove the sand and refill them often, then I might want a larger zipper pull to make it easier to hold onto it, especially when closing the inner zipper.

Nice sand bags. I bought a bag of smallish landscaping stones from Home Cheapo and filled up the sand bags. I use one to hold down my music stand on gigs and while busking in Chicago. This is important, as my music stand has a shelf attachment that holds my Bose T1 mixer, DI box, iPhone, iPod touch, etc.. My stand has blown over a couple of times with 30+mph wind gusts and hurt some of my equipment. This is no longer a threat with a bag weighing down my stand. My stand will tremble a tiny bit with a huge wind gust, but it isn't going anywhere. I've only been using them a month, but they seem to travel well and are sturdy. Overall a good deal...

I went to lowes and got some small river pebbles and filled the bags with them, I have found in the past that sand is not the best to use as it gets all over the place. I placed one bag in the center of a tripod holding a photographic light and the other on the tripod holding my Ipad Pro. They worked, held both firmly to the ground. Would purchase again. There are two zippers on each side, holds the contents solidly.

Well-made and worth the money.TIP: Fill them with stones instead of sand. You can get small sacks at Dollar Tree. I placed one sack on each side of the bag, so you'll need four sacks.

These are super durable. They're normally just tossed in the trunk of my car and are holding up great. I ended up putting a 5 LB weight into each side (10LBS total per bag) and this worked great! No issues holding up my light stands. I'd buy these again.

I'm not using these for their intended purpose, but they are exactly what I was looking for. The quality is very good. With the double zipper design the sand can't spill out, which is nice. They come with the strap and a clip, so you can attach them to pretty much anything. I needed to counterweight a small computer table with three monitors that made it tip to one side. It works perfectly for this. I would buy these again.

The biggest issue with this product is the tiny space they provide to insert the sand! I actually got a funnel to use! It works OK. I think they have too many zippers--an inside one, plus an outside one. Why? A qualified endorsement at best. I was attracted by the price.
