Some models of sandbags are shipped empty, for convenience and economy. They can be filled with sand, or any type of weight you provide, and emptied for storage, or transport.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is there a lens hood included with this lens?

A: Yes, a lens hood is included with the Samyang AF 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Lens (Sony E).

Q: 2. If used on the GH5 via adapter, will this lens still have manual in-camera aperture control?

A: Yes, as long as the adapter you purchase has the electronic contacts to retain control.

Q: 3. I am interested to know if the Kirk BH-1 would pair up with the Fesiol Ct3442 tripod. This tripod allows for a smaller package by folding back on itself 180 degree's. Will this ball head allow this to occur?

A: Yes, it will pair up, and it will fold back up but the legs will not be as close together as they would be otherwise and therefore that combo won't fit in the given Feisol tripod bag.

Q: 4. How much range does the tension/drag knob have? I read one review that stated the tension range is very limited. The tension is basically on or off without much range at all. Is this true?

A: This is a superb head. As such, it is designed to do what is needed for pro level work. Not being able to supply the amount of tension desired by a variety of photographers would be a severe design failure.You can adjust the amount of ball tension to your desired amount. The large knob is the Main Lock Knob. The small knob on the opposite side is the Variable Tension Knob. First tighten the Main Lock Knob then the Variable Tension Knob. Then loosen Main Lock Knob all the way, and then loosen the Variable Tension Knob to tension taste.

Q: 5. Hello, I bought this BH-1 ballhead and need to know which quick release plate to buy/use for a large format camera - Chamonix.Thanks.

A: For a large format camera, you might look at the Foba BALTE Quick-Release Plate (B&H # FOBALTECC). It is designed for Medium and Large format cameras, and would be compatible with Arca-Swiss style systems such as the Kirk BH-1.

Q: 6. Can I use this ball head with Gitzo GT2532 tripod?

Q: 7. Would I be able to still reverse close my Mefoto GlobeTrotter Classic with this ballhead?

A: The tripod will not close as tightly as it can with the original ballhead. This ball head is bigger and wider than that head.

Q: 8. Hi, could you confirm the part number of the included camera plate? Thanks.

A: This does not come with a plate. You can order a variety of different plates on the B&H website. Kirk makes several. Personally I use mostly Sunwayfoto clamps and the ProMediaGear universal 4 L bracket plates (I have battery grips on my bodies), both from B&H. To the best of my knowledge and experience most Arch Swiss plates and clamps are interchangeable (the BIG advantage of Arca Swiss).

Q: 9. I am buying the Manfrotto Compact Light Aluminum Tripod BH #MACOMPACTLTR. Will I need the Oben 3/8 -1/4 SHB-100 DQ Reducer Bushing with this Slik SBH -120 DQ ballhead?

A: Hi, no, you won't need a bushing in order to mount this head on the tripod.
