While working on filmsets I notice we often have an issue where the Cinesaddle is too tall and often rely on putting down a sandbag to prop up the camera. However the main issue is that sandbag are quite heavy and not every furniture could handle the weight and also a heavy camera on top. It a fairly easy build all you need is a new empty sandbag and fill it up with bean bag fillings.

The Mini camera saddle can be use in a few ways, so normally the double layer so it prop it up as much as possible or fold it open so you can get as low as possible.
