These BoaBags are perfect for counter-balance weights. They're perfect for wrapping around the back end of an arm to offset the weight of a small cantilevered light. With a quick wrap, they stay securely in place. While the 10 lb. bag can do the job of securing a small light stand, these are really designed (and priced) for the more precise job that calls for smaller weight increments. They're a lovely grip invention that stand up to the professional rigors of the job. Well done!
