Sandbags are essential to the safety of others around your tripod and Reeplayer camera and to maintain excellent video quality. Sandbags can help avoid camera shakes due to weather conditions.

You are always encouraged to place more sandbags as you see fit to be overly cautious and ensure maximum stability and safety. It’s great to have the ease of mind that your tripod is extra stable when a ball hits or the wind blows.


Here’s a weight chart for reference

15lbs (suggested minimum)

20lbs (for windy weather conditions)

25lbs (for windy weather conditions)

30lbs (recommended for severe wind conditions)


​For best practice, consider placing sandbags on at least two, and preferably, on all three legs of your tripod. If you go above 15' with your tripod, we recommend distributing at least 30 lbs of counterweight on your tripod legs.


​We suggest the Impact Filled Saddle Sandbags.
