Product Description
Overview
The KUPO KSF-30 is the 30 lb loading-weight member of the KSF shot bag family, made for heavier stand and boom setups that need a denser counterweight. It uses 1000D Cordura nylon, a plastic internal liner, 2 mm steel shot, double Velcro closure, a rubberized handle, and an eyelet with spring lock for boom-hook placement.
Why It Matters
When a boom arm starts to reach farther out, a small sandbag can become a gesture rather than real ballast. KSF-30 gives the crew a heavier shot-filled option while still keeping the bag soft enough to drape and place safely around stand hardware.
Key Features
- 30 lb loading weight provides stronger counterbalance for heavier boom and stand setups
- 2 mm steel shot inside a poly inner bag gives dense weight without rigid edges
- Double Velcro closure helps keep the shot contained during handling and transport
- Rubberized handle makes the heavier bag easier to reposition on set
- Eyelet and spring lock support attachment to a boom hook when the setup calls for it
Height Range & Reach
KSF-30 is specified by loading weight rather than empty bag weight. A separate tare weight is not specified, so the 30 lb figure is treated as the working loading weight.
- Loading weight: 13.69 kg (30 lb)
- Fill: 2 mm steel balls encapsulated in a poly inner bag
- Closure: double Velcro design
- Handling: rubberized handle
- Attachment: eyelet and spring lock for boom hook use
Applications
Use it for heavier boom arms, large stand bases, long offsets, and production rigs where a 15 lb or 25 lb bag does not provide enough counterweight.
Compatibility
Part of the KSF shot bag family with KSF-15 and KSF-25. Use on stand legs, boom arms, and suitable boom-hook positions rated for the applied load.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 13.69 kg the empty bag weight?
No. Per the corrected note, 13.69 kg (30 lb) is the loading weight. A separate empty bag weight is not listed in the specification.
What makes this different from KSF-25?
KSF-30 is the heavier option and includes the eyelet and spring lock detail for boom-hook use. KSF-25 is lighter and easier to move when 25 lb is enough.
Can it be draped over stand legs?
Yes. The specification notes the two-wing design for draping over light stand legs, and the filled shot construction helps it settle around the leg shape.
