Frequently Asked Questions
Do these sandbags come pre-filled with sand?
No, the Neewer 90092018 sandbags ship empty. You fill them yourself with sand or other heavy material, which keeps shipping costs down and lets you control the weight.
How do the included spring clamps relate to the sandbags?
The package includes six muslin backdrop spring clamps as a bonus accessory for securing backdrops to frames or stands — they are separate from the sandbags themselves.
Can these sandbags be used outdoors for location shoots?
Yes, they can be filled and used on location to weigh down light stands, C-stands, or boom arms. However, the fabric may not be fully waterproof, so avoid leaving them in standing water.
What material should I use to fill these sandbags?
Standard play sand or construction sand works well. Some photographers also use steel shot or pea gravel for a heavier fill in a smaller volume.
