The poly-filled, 4.2L, khaki SafariSack Beanbag from Kinesis Photo Gear is designed to provide a soft support for your camera. Poly bead filler is included in the SafariSack, although it can be removed from the zippered compartment and replaced with rice or other fill. The bottom of the beanbag has a rubberized-style fabric that keeps the sack in place when put on a vehicle or other slick surface. The SafariSack can be used as a flat support, saddlebag style, or as a tripod ballast.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the fabric on the bottom of the bag really grippy on a partially open car window? Most windows today are curved on top, not flat, so bag-type supports often slip down on the curve. Will this bag stay put?

A: From our experience with this product, the rubberized material on the bottom is quite grippy, but your overall experience might depend on the weight/force exerted on the bag, as well as the severity of the incline of your window. In ideal circumstances though, it would work well over a window and even on the polished metal of your car's roof or hood.

Q: 6. Is the strap long enough to wrap around the lens effectively attaching it so it can be moved with the lens?

A: Generally, the strap in the center of the LensCoat LensSack Beanbag Camera Support would not need to be wrapped around the lens in order to support it. The lens would simply rest on the Beanbag for support. Whether the strap is long enough to wrap around the lens would depend on the lens being used with it.

Q: 8. It looks like some of the beanbag camera supports come already filled and some don't. Does this one come filled? It doesn't state specifically, so I want to make sure. Thanks!

Q: 9. Thinking about using this on top of a foam apple box to stabilize a shoulder rig camera for long shots on a reality tv shoot as well as use it as a pad for sitting on the apple box, is this comfortable to sit on when filled with polybeads?

A: While comfort is subjective and may differ from person to person, the LensCoat LensSack Beanbag Camera Support (Black) would be compatible for your stated usage needs and should be relatively comfortable.

Q: 10. How well will this work on my door window lower half way? I shoot birds and wildlife from my vehicle with a 400mm.

A: I bought this for a safari in Africa and did not like it. It wouldn't stay in place over the window and was always slipping. All the other people on the safari had something like the Naturescapes SkimmerSack or Lenscoat LensSak and seemed quite happy with them. I will order one of those next time.
