Sometimes you don’t need high tech at all, but simply something that reliably does its job. That’s exactly where Quenox comes in. In this category you’ll find robust, pleasantly low-key solutions for tripods, stabilization and accessories that make your everyday photography noticeably more relaxed. Without much fuss, but with well thought-out details that you really learn to appreciate when you’re standing outside in the wind and just want the tripod to stay put.
Particularly interesting for anyone working with tripods and booms are the Quenox sandbag bundles for self-filling. Instead of pre-filled fixed weights that are either too heavy or just a nuisance in your case, you get a flexible system that you can adapt to your situation on site. We think that’s a real advantage, especially when traveling or working at changing locations.
A typical Quenox set consists of three individual sandbags that are combined into one bundle. This way, the weight is evenly distributed around the tripod and you reduce the risk of it suddenly tipping over in gusts of wind or due to an awkward movement. The compartments can be filled with sand, fine gravel or similar material. When you’re on the go and don’t have anything at hand, you can transport the set empty and fill it only at the place of use. Light in your backpack, heavy in use – something like that.
In addition to the sandbags, many Quenox models offer mounting options for up to six water bottles. That may sound a bit improvised at first, but in practice it’s surprisingly clever. You simply use what’s already there, such as standard 0.5 or 1 liter bottles, and turn them into temporary weights. Especially for outdoor shoots at the lake, in the park or at events, this is a very practical solution.
This way you can stabilize your tripod without having to lug around extra metal weights or heavy bags. Once the shoot is over, the bottles are simply detached again and you’re immediately traveling lighter. It may seem a bit unspectacular, but it’s precisely this everyday practicality that makes it so appealing.
