Is it safe to put sand bags on the legs of the nano?

When in doubt, suspend the sandbag or other weight from the center spire for balanced stability and equalize your weight dispersion.

I would not use when there is risk of wind. I have only used inside. Before using sand bags I would check manufacture recommendations.

YES! I would advise that. especially if you happen to shoot outdoors in wind. I would advise weights or sandbags. Paid dearlywhen my sb-900 flash took a wind aided DIVE. If you're using a flash combined w/a soft box especially. combined weight should be no more that say 10 pounds.

you should be able to use the sand bags on any pop up shade with legs. the bags have velcro straps that are adjsutable to fit most legs.

No the sand does not stick to it easily and can be brushed off easily. It was a nice inexpensive bag for us to take to the Dominican Republic.

The balance pods have a small hole for air like the hole on a basketball. Water and sand would not go into the pods without damage.

Thank you for the reply, but I was referring more to the mesh itself if it is fine enough to keep very tiny bugs out.

I have not tried outside yet, but based on my use so far, it is pretty sturdy and should be ok. Sandbags would be highly recommended as this thing is pretty light.

I would be afraid of puncturing it on something. Stick to the smooth water surface. I don't even suggest you let little kids play on it in the grass or sandy beach. Keep it in the water. Just my opinion

Unsure about that due to the peg type end. To really secure it into sand/ soil, purchase a plastic mallet to pound it in the ground. It can be used as a normal umbrella. Check out the YouTube video to view.

The wheels are not wide. If sand is packed hard yes, if not probably less easy.

I do not know. I've never had to replace the sand bags. You may want to look on the Everlast Website and see if they offer an answer to your question.

I bought these quite some time ago. I think it depends on the model of the nano.

Sorry, I don't know. We were using it for sparklers and had sand in the bottom of it..didn't have any problems.

I've been using two regular mesh bags, but I hear some people have been using nylon pantyhose. I've been forgetful as to buy a pair and try this method but I hear that it helps to pick up sand as well.

The bags are now at another location, so they're not handy for me to check, but if the canopy is on vertical poles you should be okay. My father ended up sticking a couple of poles into buckets of sand, because the wind was sliding the tent across the parking lot. Unfortunately, he didn't remove the side of the canopy which was tied to the pole, he just stuck it right into the bucket of sand. With the bags you can maneuver the ties for the sides and the bags so they don't interfere with each other.

Sandy here so no problem, but you may have to dig out the rocks in your location. Legs are just tubing.

I plan to put a sand bag on the base just in case needed. We have had high winds and it never moved.

Hi, I use 10 & 15 pound Sand bags on mine. I'v hung/laid them across on the the center bracket & I mostly just lay them on the legs at the base. Both methods have worked well on windy days. My sandbags are from sandbagstore.com.
