Use these small-size Clappersticks from Filmsticks when shooting double- or single-system sound to create a visual and audible sync point. The all-weather construction allows you to use the sticks for interior and exterior shots, and the 7" length makes the sticks suitable for wide to medium shots. The bottom of the sticks has a 1/8" groove that allows you to insert and remove the Filmsticks small-size marker board, as well as select third-party marker boards (not included).

The sticks feature a black-and-white pattern that provides a clear visual indication that the sticks have "banged" shut. In addition, a tongue-and-groove design prevents light leaks between the top and bottom of the sticks when they are closed, leaving no doubt that the sticks are closed. The groove can also hold the tip of a tape measure for manually measuring distances.

Q: 6. are sand bags recommended for indoor use? if so, what weight? thanks

A: Sandbags are always recommended as a good option for ballast and security when using stands or a background support system such as the Raya Background Support Kit (Small), both indoors and outdoors. While there is not a specific weight requirement, I would recommend using two (2) or three (3) 15 lb sandbags on each leg, though you may try to get away with one (1) on each leg indoors. The Impact Filled Saddle Sandbag (15 lb, Black), B&H # IMSBFB15, or the Impact Empty Saddle Sandbag - (15 lb Capacity, Black), B&H # IMSBEB15 would be good options. The Impact Six Empty Saddle Sandbag Kit - 15 lb (Black), B&H # IMSBEB156K, would be a kit of six (6) sandbags you can fill with your own ballast.

Q: 7. I use a backdrop made of heavier canvas and coated with 1-2 coats of house paint. Will this stand support heavier materials?
