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

Specifications

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. The stated weight is for the filled shot bag.

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.
