The hair light is easy to setup. It is actually smaller than the other two with only 4 bulbs which are smaller as well. It does come with the sandbag and hook to mount the bag. It is a great set for the price!

The hair light is just as tedious to set up, as the other softboxes. You will spend an hour putting the kit together and another hour taking it down. But they do work well give off good light and yes the sand bag is included. For the money it's a great kit.

First time I set it up it took me about an hour. I've only set up two other tents in my life and those were small ones. Second time it took 45 minutes in pitch black holding a little flash light in one hand. Third time it took me half an hour. Its fairly easy in my opinion and I consider myself a beginner. There are just 3 collapsible rods across the top, 6 poles for the sides and the rain fly to set up. After that you put up the optional room divider and connect the light/fan. I plan on writing an excellent review for this tent I just haven't had time.

It doesn't weigh much empty. You have to fill it with sand or with water first. I filled mine with 1 lb of sand & I can still move it around pretty easily but it doesn't move on it's own much when using it. I can still add more sand as there is still plenty of room to fill but I haven't needed to. This is meant to be a reflex bag anyway, not a full strength punching bag.

you just plug it in(little suitcase where all rollers are) and it will heat up by itself . Very easy to use , i have long hair till the middle of my back, very straight and heavy, so i am satisfied with result,only curls do not long last, i guess i need stronger spray. I bought 2 sets for myself, but if you have short hair, it will be fine with one set :)

As the others said, no bag, but it's not sturdy at all. I wouldn't trust it with a studio light. At most a flash, and even then it has a very small footprint so it's not sturdy. I wouldn't bother buying a bag. I just use the box it came in (a long white box). But it's worth the price for a small stand. I use it usually for a background or hair light.

Hi, I use 10 & 15 pound Sand bags on mine. I'v hung/laid them across on the the center bracket & I mostly just lay them on the legs at the base. Both methods have worked well on windy days. My sandbags are from sandbagstore.com.

Yes, the sandbags are attached at the corners and hold down the canopy, in addition to the stakes. it is a very quick way to set it up, just put sand in and your done. when you take it down, just dump the sand out and your done. we really enjoyed our canopy for the past year. I definitely would recommend it. i also put it up by myself, which is a nice feature since most require two people.

Good news It even comes with a vinyl bag so you can carry it. It weighs about 20 lbs I guess and is very easy to put together

Not too bad actually, so long as you have a helper holding open the bag and practice folding it up in the back yard before going to the windy beach! Also, bring plastic bags to fill with sand and put into the pockets in the sides, helps in strong winds

Sorry, I thought you were asking about the tent its' self, seems you are looking at the bag weights. They are a medium weight nylon like material. We used quart zip lock bags to put the sand in and filled the weight bags with those to keep the sand from coming through the material. Each one held 40 pounds of sand.

Key to this read instructions and take your time first time putting up. After that it's pretty easy, I'm a woman in her 50's and managed it by myself on one occasion even! You definitely attach tarp while you have the tops frame down on ground to attach it before putting legs on and raising it!! Only other thing which really is a no brainer, if your putting it up and you are going to experience a windy day, you will need one or two extra sets of hands! NO storage bag included, I used bags I had around from fold up lawn chairs. Love ours so far!!

The bag is very light, it is not full. It does not come with the swivel. Once again it is just the bag. YOU NEED TO BUY: 1. A swivel 2. Sand 3. A bag Total investment: $ 30.00

Hello, I believe each bag of sand is 2.5 lbs (because there are 4 bags and with all of them in the ankle weight it = 10 lbs.) so I believe that the lowest weight u can have is 2.5 and then you can adjust to 5 lb by leaving 2 bags in. Hopes this helps!

Easy for 2 or more people cause it is pretty big. It does NOT do well in wind, since it is a fan/blower system, it is pretty low pressure and will flex pretty badly, but on a still night or with a light breeze, it's great!!

The sun protection isn't great, however it is really light which makes it easy to pack and set up. It is also very breathable. I thought I would use it at the beach for my one year old, but have got more use out of it while camping (it's the play tent), in our yard and inside the house. I tie a light blanket or sheet over it if more shade is needed. Overall, I initially purchased it for the shade but have already got my money's worth out of it for different reasons. Hope this was somewhat helpful.

It is very light and very portable. Though I have never traveled with it, I do keep it unassembled in my shop to protect it from sun, weather, etc, only setting it up (quick) to actually use it. The hammock itself is light as paper - the stand, while sturdy, is light enough and can be folded down to lengths of 3 feet or so, enough to be considered very portable. I really like the set, and the color of the hammock is downright beautiful and coppery.

I am so happy with this set. i have it on my second floor balcony. It is not extremely heavy. It is well constructed yet light. I just went out to see if I can lift it. The chair I picked up and i am a 77 year old lady,Hope that helps.
