Grab a Matthews Boa Bag to help safely rig lights and modifiers as well as add weight to tripods and more. This 5 lb bag is split into two bags to easily hang or wrap around objects.

While traditional sandbags are an invaluable and irreplaceable component of professional grip kits, the Boa Bag adds a lighter-weight option for different applications on set. One common use of the Boa Bag is as a counterweight when mounting light fixtures and modifiers at an extended length using a boom arm. Boa Bags are quick and comfortable to carry from setup to setup thanks to the wide center strap with a sewn-in rubberized patch; this non-slip section also helps the bag rest securely on grip arms and other surfaces. Because the strap is long enough for the bag to fully wrap around stand legs and other shafts in a bola-like fashion, it cannot be easily knocked off its proper position.

Q: 6. Does this arm allow for the simultaneous use of two small video cameras? I'm envisioning something that would mount on top of a stable tripod allowing me to shoot with two video cameras at the same time (one for a wide shot, the other for close-ups). Thanks.

A: This has only two attachment points. One goes to the device being mounted, the other to the mounting platform. So I am not seeing a way to mount two cameras with this. I think the Vanguard Multi-Mount 6 Tripod Utility Bar B&H # VAMM6 is more of what you will need.
