Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What are the internal and external dimensions? The specs don't say which.

A: The listed dimensions for the A257 Body Pouch are for the interior, as the manufacturer does not publish the exterior dimensions.

Q: 2. Can two be attached to each other to make it bigger? And where are buckwheat hulls available?

A: Yes, two can be attached to each other to make it bigger. Buckwheat filler is available from many pillow supply companies.

Q: 3. 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: 4. Can I travel overseas (Africa) with the buckwheat hulls?

A: I would recommend contacting the TSA. https://www.tsa.gov/

Q: 5. How many of these items will I need to fill a lenscoat lenssack?

A: 1-1..5 bags should do.

Q: 6. What does the 4.2 stand for? Besides size (dimensions), is there much difference between this Kinesis Safarisack and the 1.4 Safarisack?

A: The 4.2 is the volume of filler (in liters) for the large bag. The 1.4 bag has a volume of 1.4 liters. So, the 4.2 is about 2 1/2 times bigger than a 1.4. I have both and the 1.4 is a bit small for long lenses or folding in half over a car window or fence rail.tree branch but very handy for a flexible support with smaller lenses. Hope this answered your question. Nice, well made product by the way and if you are taking it traveling say on a safari consider using buckwheat hulls for filler instead of poly - much lighter for packing,.

Q: 7. Can Poly Bead fill or Git-Lite fill be ordered separately for this bag?

A: Yes, poly beads can be ordered separately for the Kinesis SafariSack Beanbag Camera Support (Buckwheat Hulls Filled, Black, 4.2L): https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1081615-REG/kinesis_r142_poly_bead_fill_for.html

Q: 8. Can you refill this bag?

A: Yes, one end is zippered. The manufacturer's tag has recommendations for other fillings.

Q: 9. No dimensions are listed in the specs.. what are the exact dimensions of the Kinesis R246-K?

A: The Kinesis SafariSack 4.2 Beanbag Camera is 9.4 x 15.7" (24 x 40 cm) when it is flat.

Q: 10. how much does the buckwheat weigh for the 4.2 bag?

A: Hi, the Kinesis Buckwheat Hulls for SafariSack 4.2 weighs about 1.125lbs.

clip it onto your pack for an additional means of support (use the pack and bean bag combined as a platform for resting a lens/body while shooting). Works great for what it is designed to do. Use it with my 6D+100-400 to provide a very stable base when shooting from my vehicle or when I need a softer/more uniform surface to shoot from such as when around rocks/tree stumps/fence posts and don't have a mono/tri-pod. As a side note: while I never had a problem, when I was in yellowstone, I noted that the bison/buffalo seemed to be able to smell the buckwheat hulls and may have been interested in them. I never had a problem, but it is worth noting that you may have a scent trail that you don't know about when carrying this.

A surprisingly light weight camera/lens support. Handles my Canon EOS 7D and Canon EF 300mmf/4L IS USM lens nicely. Vs having to carry/set up a tripod to use that combination, the bag can be placed almost anywhere making photography so much faster and easier. The three straps provide various set ups and carrying methods easy. The zipper allowing removing the buckwheat hulls for storage is another nice feature.

Its perfect for venues that do not allow tripods

This is great for when shooting out of the car, or when you just need to set it on a fence or something to help with stability. Super light to carry and sometimes, all I need instead of a tripod!

Needed a support for taking pictures of birds with a long lens from my window. This product fits the need very well!

...Either that or don't get old. It just makes sense to take the time to create your shot and stabilize the camera when holding your breath no longer works. This bag is great just slung over my shoulder and it serves as a great thing to simply swing out and lean against or plop onto something which is itself stable so that you can then compose and expose your shot and begin to use shutter speed as another meaningful parameter in your mobile shooting. The buckwheat filling is extremely light, yet sets up nice to give you that stability that you need. This thing is valuable for those times that you just have to walk around handheld---either for stills or video.

I use this beanbag for nature photography. It's great for getting the camera down low with the subjects. It's been especially helpful when shooting birds at the beach. The material is rugged and the filling does not make it heavy to carry. Straps on the side allow you to adjust the height or attach to a resting point. Overall, it works as advertised and it's an affordable fix if you don't want to carry around your tripod. I recommend this purchase.

I used the bag on a Kenya Mission Trip which ended in a four day safari. It was a nice support when shooting out the roof of the Land Rover. Loved that it had a clip so you could attach it to the roof railing so it didn't slide off the roof and out of the vehicle. I bought it with the buckwheat hulls, but removed them for the trip to save on space and weight and purchased several bags of beans in Kenya to use while there. (Our driver appreciated the beans after we left!)
