Q: 3. When used as a saddlebag over the large leg of a c-stand, is there clearance between the bottom of the bag to the ground? How does it fit as a saddlebag over the other legs of a c-stand?

A: No, when put over the largest leg of a c-stand it touches the ground, which reduces it's usefulness. It works, but as you know, if they hangs instead of sit on the ground, sand bags are more effective. As an alternative, I wrap it around the pole so that it effectively is stretching across two of the legs which works well (and has ground clearance). If you want to hang them on a single leg go with the 15s and double up.

Q: 10. What weight bag is best for the hollywood c stand?

A: There is no specific recommended sandbag weight for C-stands. Ultimately, it would depend on the total load you are placing on the C-stand. It would be good to have a similar weight of sandbags on the base of the light stand as the weight of the item on the top of the light stand. (However, personally, you can never have too many sandbags, especially from a safety standpoint).
