Topic: Stand weights - another solution

[SMsound]

I use ankle weights:

Available cheaply (well, when there are no pandemic shortages) in 1-15lbs pretty much everywhere that sells fitness equipment in any color you want.

Velcro straps make it easy to wrap around tripod/stand legs as you would wrap around an ankle. Won't fall off and won't scratch your gear.


I also sometimes add a Manfrotto 035 mafer clamp to the stand (low) and hang a Nalgene from it. I have hooks that snap into the 035 clamps to make this easier, but it works without too.
