MR JAN GEAR Bean Bag Sack Two Legged Bean Bag

Simple and effective! The MR JAN GEAR Two Legged Bean Bag in action

Sometimes you don’t need a high-tech tripod tower, just something that works. Period. The MR JAN GEAR Two Legged Bean Bag is exactly that kind of helper: a robust, two-legged bean bag tripod that stabilizes your camera where classic three-legged tripods have long since given up. On a car window, on a fence post, across a branch or directly on the ground – this bean bag handles it all with ease.

The two long “legs” adapt flexibly to different surfaces, while the softly padded top supports your camera securely and gently at the same time. This gives you a stable base without having to constantly fiddle with clamps, screws or levers. Simply place the camera on top, fine-tune the position, press the shutter. Done.

Bean bag with inlet, thought through down to the last detail

The Two Legged Bean Bag is designed as a clever bean bag tripod with an inlet. That means you can easily choose the filling yourself and adjust or replace it if necessary. The bean bag is delivered unfilled so you can decide for yourself with what and how heavily you fill it. For practical use, we recommend plastic granulate; you’ll need around 5–6 kg of it to get a stable, pleasantly moldable base.

Thanks to the inlet, the filling stays safely inside but can be removed again if needed, for example if you want to use the bean bag as a travel companion and save weight. This keeps the whole system flexible for longer tours, flights, or simply when you don’t want to make your gear unnecessarily heavy.

Made in Europe, solid quality from Slovakia

The MR JAN GEAR Two Legged Bean Bag is manufactured in Slovakia and is therefore deliberately Made in Europe. So you’re not getting some random mass-produced item, but a well-thought-out tool from European production with high quality standards. The workmanship is robust, neatly sewn, and designed for the tough everyday life of outdoor photography.

The material is a water-repellent mix of 65 % Polyester und 35 % cotton with a neutral camouflage print. This material mix ensures that the bean bag doesn’t immediately soak through on damp surfaces or in light drizzle, while still feeling pleasant to the touch. The camouflage look is unobtrusive in nature, which is a real plus especially for wildlife or bird photography if you don’t want to stand out as a “colorful foreign object”.

Bean bag for low-angle photography, get down low without back pain

For low-angle photography, the Two Legged Bean Bag is almost a little insider tip. You can position your camera extremely low without having to lie completely in the dirt. Just place the bean bag on the ground, put your camera on top, press it lightly into the filling, and you’ll get perspectives that are awkward or even impossible with many tripods.

Especially for wildlife, macro, or whenever you want to photograph animals at eye level, this bean bag really comes into its own. Thanks to the padded support surface of about 26 x 10 cm, your camera rests steady and slip-resistant, and the height of around 36 cm gives you enough room to vary. You can also tilt the bean bag slightly or fill the “legs” differently to fine-tune angle and tilt.

Car support and more, flexible on branches, fences and car doors

As a car support, the MR JAN GEAR Two Legged Bean Bag really shines. You simply place it on the lowered car door or window, shape the two legs so that they rest stably, and place your camera on top. This gives you an extremely steady base, lets you shoot comfortably from inside the vehicle, and keeps you relatively inconspicuous – ideal for shy animals or observations from the roadside.

It works just as well on fences, railings or wide branches. The two-legged design adapts to irregular shapes, and the non-slip bottom ensures that the bean bag doesn’t just wander off, even if the surface is somewhat smooth. The softly padded top protects your camera and lens from scratches and pressure marks, even when you’re using heavier telephoto lenses.

Technical data, factual but important

For everyone who likes to know the details:

• Tripod type: car support and bean bag tripod for flexible use cases
• Material: water-repellent material mix of 65 % Polyester und 35 % cotton
• Print: neutral camouflage print for unobtrusive use in nature
• Support surface (padded): approx. 26 x 10 cm for a stable camera base
• Height: about 36 cm, ideal for variable positioning
• Weight (reference value, filled with plastic granulate): approximately 6 kg
• Manufacturing: in Slovakia, European production
• Delivery condition: the bean bag is delivered unfilled

The stated weight of about 6 kg refers to a typical filling with plastic granulate. Depending on the stability and mobility you want, you can easily vary the amount of filling to make the bean bag a bit lighter or maximally stable.

Practical comfort, non-slip bottom, soft support

The non-slip bottom ensures that the bean bag does not slide uncontrollably even on smoother surfaces such as car roofs or painted doors. This gives you a much more secure feeling when aligning the camera and reduces camera shake, especially at longer focal lengths.

The softly padded top gently cradles your camera and lens. This allows you to rest even heavy telephoto setups without worrying about pressure marks or abrasion. The padding also helps to dampen small vibrations, which can be very helpful for longer exposure times or burst shooting.

Who is the MR JAN GEAR Two Legged Bean Bag for?

If you spend a lot of time outdoors, shoot from the car, or generally often deal with uneven surfaces, this bean bag will fit your workflow quite well. Wildlife photographers, bird photographers, travel photographers, and anyone who likes to experiment with low-angle perspectives will benefit from the combination of stability, flexibility, and comparatively simple handling.

Instead of setting up a large tripod every time, you can simply take the bean bag out of the trunk, your backpack, or from the passenger seat, shape it briefly, and start shooting. Especially in spontaneous situations – a bird of prey by the roadside, deer in a field, an interesting subject on a fence – this can make the crucial difference between “I wish I had” and “I got the shot”.
