The Bean Bags have a vast and varied use for the modern photographer, make an excellent addition or alternative to tripods/monopods. Extremely light weight and easy to use, the Bean Bag offers stability and ease in the most demanding conditions. Perfectly suited for Deep safari to catch the best picture of the wilderness. (It can be carried empty to the destination, where one can buy cheap grain, fill the bag, use it for the trip, donate the grain to somebody needy and carry back an empty bag.)
