User questions & answers

Question:	Best filler for these bags
Answer:	Exterior is nice heavy duty, fine grain black canvas, with vinyl in the crease that folds over car doors, or logs, or whatever. I fill mine with multiple ziplock bags of sunflower seeds. When traveling by air, it is easy to swap out the “pounds of sunflower seeds” for empty ziplock bags, which are filled at destination with local dried beans, rice, seeds, etc. The grizzly bag stays in my 4x4 all of the time... just in case I need a quick, stable set-up. Love my Grizzly Bag! It has helped capture many, many shots I would have lost trying to unload and set up a tripod!
Question:	hi!, May I ask where it is made? Thank you
Answer:	Bootgal,The medium bean bag with poly fill is a little over 5 oz. With the Velcro handles it can be attached to a belt, gear bag, backpack. I hope this helps.Thank youJohn & The Mertribe team

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know the weight of the medium bag both by itself and with polystyrene fill? I see the shipping weight but no product weight. Thanks
Answer:	My medium bag is approximately 7" high, 8"in length and 3" wide. The large one measures about 10" tall, 8" long and 5 1/2" wide. Hope this helps! Much easier than setting up your tripod when you're in a rush and just as accurate.
Question:	What are the dimensions of the medium and the large
Answer:	It's a matter of personal preference, but I used about 48 oz. I bought two 32 oz. bags of poly-pellets at Michael's craft store and used 1-1/2 bags.
Question:	How much filler does the medium size take? If I were to buy the plastic pellets from Amazon (16 oz bag) do I need 1 or 2 bags (or more)? Thanks
Answer:	Clark,The Wild Grizzly bean bags will secure your camera. You may turn off the Stabilization. We have had considerable feedback on this issue and it seems that photographers are divided on their thoughts.some do and some prefer not to. Bottom line, you made turn it off but it is not necessary.John and the Mertribe Team.
Question:	Do you turn off Image Stabilization when using a beenbag
Answer:	yes, it fits.
