Camshield Round BeanBag Small

Camshield Bean Bag Round BeanBag Small, compact stability for your telephoto lens

In the middle of a hide, on the car roof or half lying at the edge of the forest: this is exactly what the Camshield Bean Bag Round BeanBag Small is made for. Small, round, surprisingly well thought-out and ideal when you want to keep your telephoto lens steady without setting up a tripod.

The small round bean bag from Camshield is crafted with particular sophistication and only reveals in use how versatile it really is. At first glance it looks simple, but as soon as you have it in your hand, you very quickly notice that someone really thought this through.

Round or cylinder, two shapes, one BeanBag

The special feature of this BeanBag is the integrated side fold, which can be opened and closed with a zipper. When the fold is closed, the bean bag lies in front of you as a compact, round support. When you open the zipper, the round shape transforms into a stable cylinder that fits snugly around your lens or an edge.

Thanks to this convertible construction, you can use the Camshield Bean Bag Round BeanBag Small in two different shapes. Either as a round, flat support for quick, flexible positioning or as a cylindrical, more fixing support that gives your lens additional stability. It is precisely this little trick with the side fold that makes the bean bag significantly more practical in everyday use than its size would suggest.

Practical top filling with secure zipper

The bean bag is filled from the top and opened and closed with a zipper. That sounds simple and it is, but in a positive way. You can easily pour in, adjust or replace the filling material without fiddling around. Especially if you want to try different fillings, such as plastic granulate, rice or peas, this top opening is very convenient.

The zipper ensures that the filling material reliably stays inside. Nothing trickles out unintentionally, even if you move the BeanBag back and forth in your backpack more often. This way the bean bag remains ready for use in the long term without you having to constantly refill it.

Well-designed strap system for lens attachment and transport

At each end of the bean bag when brought into the cylindrical shape, two straps are sewn on. Together with the additional strap with buckle clip supplied, these firmly integrated straps form a flexible fastening system. The scope of delivery therefore includes a separate strap with clip that you can hook in and adjust as needed.

This system is used to attach the BeanBag directly to the lens and thus make transport easier. You can fix the bean bag to the lens, carry it over your shoulder or simply leave it attached when changing position without having to rebalance every time. This is particularly noticeable if you change location frequently, for example in wildlife or nature photography.

This turns the Camshield Bean Bag Round BeanBag Small not only into a stable support, but also into a practical companion that prevents your lens from constantly tipping the wrong way while walking. It just feels a bit more relaxed when everything stays together and your hands are free.

Ideal for lenses with lens hood from 12 to 15 cm

The short version of this BeanBag is ideal for use with lenses that have a lens hood diameter between 12 and 15 centimeters. In exactly this range the bean bag sits particularly well and provides a stable, precisely fitting support.

So if you work with typical telephoto lenses or fast zooms that fall into this size range, the Camshield Bean Bag Round BeanBag Small plays to its strengths. It supports the lens reliably without appearing bulky or taking up unnecessary space in your bag.

Especially with longer focal lengths, where even the slightest camera shake becomes visible, the bean bag ensures significantly steadier camera handling. You can release the shutter more calmly, even at longer exposure times or in situations where a tripod is simply impractical.

Compact dimensions and low weight for on the go

The Camshield Bean Bag Round BeanBag Small is deliberately kept compact so that you can easily take it with you anywhere. The size is about 14 centimeters in diameter and 9 centimeters in the short version without the extension opened. When you open the side fold and bring the BeanBag into the cylindrical shape, you get about 16 centimeters in length with extension.

With a weight of only about 55 grams when unfilled, the bean bag is extremely light and hardly adds to your load. You can store it in your camera backpack, in a side pocket or even in the glove compartment of your car without having to think much about it. It is simply there when you need it.

Robust poly-cotton material with camouflage pattern

For the material, Camshield relies on a poly-cotton blend that combines the advantages of both components. The surface feels pleasantly textile, but is at the same time robust enough for regular use in the field. The bean bag easily withstands light friction on car roofs, wooden boards or rocks.

The camouflage pattern is designed for year-round use. It blends unobtrusively into natural environments, whether you are working in undergrowth in spring, in meadows in summer, in foliage in autumn or among bare structures in winter. This means the BeanBag does not distract animals or people unnecessarily and remains inconspicuous in the background of the image.

Delivered unfilled, you decide on the filling

The bean bag is delivered unfilled. This is a deliberate choice so that you can decide for yourself what to fill it with and how heavy it should be in the end. Many people use, for example, plastic granulate, rice, lentils or similar materials. Depending on the filling, the weight and the flow behavior inside change slightly.

Because the bean bag arrives empty, it is very light and compact for shipping. After unpacking, you can fill it at your leisure and, if necessary, empty it again later or replace the filling. This allows you to adapt the Camshield Bean Bag Round BeanBag Small flexibly to your preferences and intended use.
