Sand Bag GlareOne for Booms and Studio Stands 11349-uniw (weighting bag)

GlareOne sand bag 11349-uniw is a weighting bag made for stabilising booms, light stands and other studio support equipment. Constructed to add ballast where extra counterweight is required, it reduces the risk of tipping and helps secure lighting setups during photo and video shoots. The bag is suitable for both professional and amateur use and integrates with a variety of stands and rigs to improve safety and stability on set.

Advantages

The GlareOne sand bag provides practical ballast without modifying existing stands or mounts. Its design allows for quick placement and removal, delivering immediate stability improvements. The bag is compatible with a wide range of booms and light stands, enabling flexible counterweight placement. By lowering the centre of gravity of the support system, it helps prevent accidental falls and protects equipment from damage.

Suitable for

• Studio and location photography requiring added counterweight
• Video shoots using booms, horizontal arms or heavy modifiers
• Temporary lighting setups where rapid stabilisation is needed
• Rental and production houses that need portable ballast solutions

Key specifications

• Purpose: weighting bag for booms and light stands
• Material: durable outer fabric designed for repeated use
• Fill: intended to be filled with sand or similar ballast material by the user
• Compatibility: universal fit for most studio stands and booms
• Portability: designed for transport and on-location use when empty

How to use

Place the GlareOne sand bag over the base or counterweight attachment point of your boom or light stand and fill it with sand or another granular ballast to the required weight. Ensure the bag is centred and seated securely so that the added mass is evenly distributed. For booms, position the bag on the rear stand leg or dedicated counterweight arm to balance the load. Always check stability after filling and adjust the amount of ballast as needed for the specific configuration and equipment load.

Usage recommendations

Use coarse dry sand for consistent ballast and avoid overfilling; confirm that seams and closures are secure before lifting or moving stands. When working outdoors or on uneven surfaces, increase ballast accordingly and inspect the bag regularly for wear. Store the bag empty and dry between uses to prolong fabric life.
