Everything has been prepped and the event can begin - then someone accidentally knocks over a stand and the real fun begins. To ensure that valuable pieces of equipment - microphones, speakers, spotlights and more - are stable and secure, the Gravity® portfolio now includes the new Gravity GBGSBL1 Large Sandbag - individually fillable bags for easy attachment to stand legs. In addition to stage use, the BG SB bags also ensure greater safety in film and photography work - for example when a diffuser or softbox needs to be raised to great height over a C-stand The bags also stabilize equipment when using Content Creator and Videocaster, which for optical reasons work with a long boom arm or a lighter table stand. The Gravity® sandbag keeps you rock steady.
To ensure that potentially heavily filled bags do not slide down on steep stand legs, they have a special non-slip mesh surface on the underside. In this way, the BG SB can be quickly and easily attached, removed and set back down again during hectic changeovers. (Velcro fasteners and straps are not necessary to fasten the bag to the stand leg). If strong winds are an issue, you can use the integrated metal eyelets on the corners to securely connect the bags to the stand using cable ties or rope.
For worry-free use on open-air stages and restaurant terraces, or for outdoor film shoots, the BG SB features a water-repellent outer material made of 1680D nylon, which makes sure that the sand or gravel inside do not become moist.
