Eckla filling "Gran" plastic granulate for Eagle bean bags

Eckla filling "Gran", plastic granulate for Eagle beanbags

Sometimes it’s not the beanbag itself that decides whether you get a steady shot, but the inconspicuous material inside. That’s where the Eckla filling "Gran" comes in: a robust plastic granulate that reliably keeps your Eagle beanbag in shape and supports your gear stably, even when conditions outside get really unpleasant.

With a weight of 2600 g, this granulate is tuned so that the Eckla Eagle beanbag remains solid, stable and still easy to handle. No fiddling with half-empty chambers, no annoying refilling after just a few uses – once the beanbag is properly filled, it just works.

Advantages of the Eckla filling "Gran" compared to natural materials

While beans, rice or peas may seem quite charming at first, they quickly show their quirks in real outdoor use. Natural materials absorb moisture, combine with humidity or water and can swell, clump and, in the worst case, even spoil. That’s not only unpleasant, but in the long run also impractical and not very hygienic.

The Eckla filling "Gran" made of plastic granulate behaves completely differently. This material does not bond with moisture or water and therefore remains permanently dimensionally stable. It does not swell, does not mold, does not develop a musty smell and does not need to be replaced regularly just because the weather didn’t cooperate. This way your beanbag remains reliably usable even after many trips, rainy periods and temperature changes.

Especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors, whether at the lake, in a hide, stalking, or shooting from a car window, this durability really pays off. We’d say: fill it properly once, then enjoy peace of mind for a long time.

Material properties of the plastic granulate

The Eckla filling "Gran" is made of polypropylene, a moisture-insensitive plastic that has proven itself for years in many outdoor and technical applications. Polypropylene absorbs virtually no moisture and remains stable even with changing temperatures. It does not clump, it does not break down, and it requires no special care.

As a filling granulate for beanbags, polypropylene offers a pleasant combination of volume and weight. It adapts well to the shape of the beanbag, distributes itself evenly in the chambers and thus provides a stable support surface for camera and lens. At the same time, the material is robust enough not to crumble even with frequent transport and intensive use.

We see this granulate as a very practical solution for anyone who uses their beanbag regularly and has no desire to experiment with short-lived fillings.

Recommended filling quantity for the Eckla Eagle beanbag

For the Eckla Eagle beanbag, the Eckla filling "Gran" with a weight of 2.6 kg is designed as the ideal amount. This quantity has proven to be a sensible compromise between stability and ease of handling. The beanbag sits solidly, offers a steady support for your equipment and is still easy to carry, even when you’re also bringing camera, lenses and accessories.

With 2600 g of filling granulate, you achieve a very well-balanced setup with the Eckla Eagle. The beanbag is neither too light and wobbly nor unnecessarily heavy. This allows you to place it flexibly on car doors, rocks, railings or other surfaces and gives you a stable base for telephoto lenses and heavy cameras.

Areas of application for the Eckla filling "Gran" in everyday photography

The Eckla filling "Gran" is specifically intended for use in beanbags like the Eckla Eagle, but it really plays to its strengths in nature and wildlife photography. If you use long focal lengths, need to work close to the ground or shoot from a car, a reliably filled beanbag is almost essential.

With this plastic granulate, the beanbag remains dimensionally stable even if you reposition it frequently, rotate it, compress it or squeeze it into tight corners. You can rely on the granulate inside not suddenly clumping or shifting just because it’s damp, cold or warm outside. Especially on longer trips or journeys, this is a welcome advantage – you simply don’t have to worry about the filling.

Long-term use and care

Since the Eckla filling "Gran" is made of moisture-insensitive polypropylene, the maintenance effort is minimal. There is no need to dry, air or regularly replace the granulate just to keep it in good condition. As long as the beanbag itself is intact, the filling remains usable.

If you do need to open the beanbag, for example to slightly adjust the filling quantity or to check the interior, the granulate can be easily transferred or redistributed. It does not disintegrate into dust, does not stick together and is therefore easy to handle. This makes the Eckla filling "Gran" a very practical everyday solution for anyone who uses their beanbag regularly.
