[R425] SafariSack II™ Empty, $13.00
In response to shooters needing a durable, yet modular weight bag, we took the design and size of the original SafariSack™ and made a few changes. These changes enabled us to get the cost down, while providing a tough modular bag that works as a ballast with either sand or water filler. (A first in the photo industry.) The types of filler and their intended purposes are as follows:
1) Sand. In the studio or for around-town shooting you may want to use the sand filler because it is heavier and slightly more stable than water.
2) Water. For those shooters traveling via the airlines, the water ballast is the best option for ballast. Carry several (3-4 for most location shoots) and fill them with water upon arrival. Then dump the contents for the return flight.
3) Rocks. On location fill this bag with rocks or dirt and sling over light over the legs of your C-Stand or light stand.
One product fulfills the needs of both location and studio shooters -- just change out the bladder, using the same shell.
Because this sack has no zipper, it MUST be used with a bladder, otherwise the contents will spill out. The SafariSack II™ can be used as a ballast hung over the rungs of a light stand, attached to the end of boom, or attached around a tripod (optional/special order "SafariSack shoulder strap" is helpful in this mode). Please note that this model lacks the side compression straps of SafariSack I and cannot be used saddlebag style as a support for a camera, rather it's design is to be used saddlebag-style as a ballast draped over a light stand/C-stand or hung on the end of a boom.

Hang a SafariSack I or II™ around your tripod for additional stability with long lenses or on windy days. Fill it with sand, rocks or water. With the SafariSack II in this configuration, the $3 optional Y208 strap is a recommended accessory. (It is included with the SafariSack I, but is NOT included with SafariSack II).

[R106] SafariSack™ Water Bladder, $6.00
Bladder only, no SafariSack shell. Bladder or water bag is made from double-layer mylar with an leak proof cap. Cut slightly oversize so most of the stress is on the seams of the tough Cordura nylon SafariSack shell, not on the bladder itself. This badder can be used in either SafariSack I or II, but is most commonly used with R425 SafariSack II. It also can be used with either water or sand fill (the small cap may make filling with sand a little slow, but it is possible).
Note to SafariSack I owners: The zipper ends of pre-1999 editions of the original SafariSack may puncture this bladder. Please call or e-mail for particulars if you intend to use this bladder in an original SafariSack.
Special Warranty Exclusion: The water and sand bladders are priced as disposable products and are not covered under our usual two-year warranty.
[R107] SafariSack™ Sand Bladder, $3.00
Bladder is made from heavy-duty 1000 denier woven Polypropylene fabric. This same bag is used for sand-filled flood barries. This badder can be used in either SafariSack I or II, but is most commonly used with R425 SafariSack II. To achieve a tight seal…fill the bag with sand (do not overfill so it has room to fold in half), roll over the end twice and staple in several places. It is not water tight and not suitable as a water bag.
Special Warranty Exclusion: The water and sand bladders are priced as disposable products and are not covered under our usual two-year warranty. The R107 is a product of Indonesia.
[Y208] Extender QR (quick-release) Strap, $3.00
Extends the length of SafariSack I or II strap, converting to a shoulder strap.
