## Description

The SafariSack has been in production for over ten years. It has been duplicated by others, but as they say, “copying is the best form of flattery.” We offer you a choice of fill. Poly beads are the most stable, but heavier than the buckwheat hulls. For lenses up to 200mm, the buckwheat is adequate. The 4.2 features a side gusset, allowing a thicker volume of filler when in half saddlebag style. The ends are slightly rounded for easier handling. D-rings on the ends for carrying over the shoulder with a shoulder strap (# Y215 is adjustable, unpadded & 1" / 25 mm wide). With the sewn-in strap, it can be securely fastened to the rack on the top of an Land*over which is common on safari...or your own mini-van or SUV! If you want a longer strap, get the # Y208. You can add water, sand or pebbles to use as a ballast to stabilize a tripod or light stand in the wind. We recommend the use of an optional liner for sand (R107) or choose the R425 SafariSack II for a simpler, less expensive ballast bag.

Review: Excellent Product! - Great product. Lightweight (useful for travel) but does the job. Particularly like the rubber-like bands at the top and bottom on the back providing gripping power on window glass Very much like the material resistant to moisture, the covered zipper enclosure for refilling and the straps, although it would be really good if the side straps were longer to wear like a knapsack.. Also like the color- neutral enough so that it doesn't scare away wildlife or birds. Pricey but well made.
Review: Not too heavy, works well. - The use of buckwheat really helps in the weight category. My only wish is that the two sides could be separated, either by a velcro strip or zipper. There are instances where only one of the two is sufficient.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this compare to a Cinesaddle?**
A: The biggest difference is about $300 :) The Cinesaddle is made from canvas and the SafariSacks are made from my nylon—nylon is typically is more durable. The SafariSack works on on car windows, but not sure about the Cinesaddle, unless it was inverted? The B&H site is unclear on what the filler is for the Cinesaddle. We offer it three ways: empty, filled with poly (plastic) or buckwheat hulls.

**Q: What is the weight pre-filled with buckwheat?**
A: Don't really know. I travel with my SafariSack empty and fill it with dried beans wherever I go, then either toss them or give them away since they cost a few pennies. You can usually stop at any vegetable market and get them. I travel in Tanzania twice a year and refill it each time.

**Q: What size big would you recommend for a 400mm 2.8 prime lens?**
A: IMHO, this sack would fit well for a 400 mm lens.  I use a 200 - 400 Nikon and it works well, event with the lens extended.  This bag seems to just the right size and I think most of the other bigger bags or supports are kind of a waste and take up much more room.

**Q: Would this work for a 500mm nikon ?**
A: Yes this would work fine for shooting a 500mm from your car.

### ⭐ Open seam
*by J***N on July 21, 2024*

Bag arrived with an open seam. Appears to have not been sewn for about 1cm which allowed the beads to leak out all over. Getting a replacement. Hope that one is better.
