Phottix Stay-Put Weight Bag - Medium

The Phottix Stay-Put Weight Bag - Medium is a rugged, professional-grade ballast solution engineered for location photographers, videographers, and grip technicians who need to stabilize light stands, boom arms, and background supports.

Featuring a classic dual-pouch saddlebag architecture, this essential safety tool wraps securely over stand legs to keep high-profile softboxes and heavy modifiers from tipping over in breezy outdoor conditions or high-traffic studio sets.

Product Features in Detail

Classical Dual-Pouch Saddlebag Architecture
The Stay-Put Sandbag II relies on a classic saddlebag layout, splitting the ballast weight evenly across two independent pockets. This split design allows you to drape the sandbag securely over the lower brace struts or individual feet of your light stands, keeping the center of gravity low and stable without slipping off.

Dual Zippered High-Security Enclosures
To prevent sand, fine dust, or gravel from leaking out and making a mess inside your gear vehicle or studio floor, each compartment is sealed with its own heavy-duty zipper. This secure closure makes filling and emptying the sandbag quick and straightforward, letting you dump the ballast on location to save weight during air travel or long treks.

High-Tensile Top Transport Strap
The top spine of the sandbag features an integrated, reinforced webbed hand strap. This ergonomic handle provides a confident, heavy-duty grip when carrying multiple weights around a busy set, and doubles as an effortless hanging loop for slipping over the extension arms of heavy boom rigs.

Modular Side Interlocking Clip and Loop System
Offering great expansion flexibility, this sandbag is equipped with a matching side clip and loop mechanism. When working with massive deep parabolic umbrellas or heavy overhead crossbars that require extra stability, you can quickly daisy-chain multiple Stay-Put sandbags together to pile on weight securely.

Essential Safety Asset for Outdoor Production
When taking studio strobes out into the elements, large softboxes can act like sails, catching the wind and risking catastrophic damage to your flash tubes and cameras. This compact sandbag serves as your primary insurance policy, effectively anchoring your gear to the ground so you can focus entirely on directing your subject.

Versatile Field Ballast Compatibility
The interior compartments are built to accept a wide variety of locally sourced filling materials. While clean playground sand offers the best form-fitting weight, you can easily load the pouches with small river rocks, gravel, lead shot, or even water bottles in a pinch, making it an incredibly adaptable tool for the traveling content creator.
