Your cart is empty.The lightweight construction and compact-size of these stands make them a practical tool for your lighting support needs. With a patented Quick Stack System (QSS) you can easily stack the stands together with their built in connectors for portable transport and storage. The adapto collars and spider casting Material is crucial to provide high performance and light weight. Adapto is the new material specifically developed by Manfrotto for both collars and spider castings is comparable to aluminum in strength, but is 50% lighter and has a superb resistance to extreme temperatures and will not corrode or oxidize. Additionally, Adapto is an excellent vibration absorption material. the new Adapto collars are made from a single locking component, ensuring better performance and easier maintenance. A stronger and more ergonomic handle makes it easier to secure stands into the operating position. A 3/8’’ screw top female to 1/4” adapter male (015), allows you to connect additional accessories. A new bi-injection casting provides the photographer with a better ergonomic grip.

They snap together, they are so easy to carry and use. Only problem is they are a little stiff so I had to spray them with a lubricant.

I've gone through many light stands. Still have most of them, but this is the one I reach for first, almost every time. It's larger (and therefore heavier) than some. This makes it especially sturdy, with a wide base. Not nearly as heavy as a C-stand though. I love that they pack flat. This makes a difference, even if you just have one. I now have two, and the fact that they clip together to minimize storage and packed travel space is really nice. They hold my alien bees/Einstein strobes well, even with large modifiers on there (7' umbrellas with additional diffuser covers are my biggest).This is my go-to light stand. If I need something tiny and lighter for a speedlight, I use a very compact Manfrotto stand. There are a few times I grab a C-stand with boom arm. But for 95% of what I shoot, if I'm adding lighting, it's on this stand, the 1004BAC.

Manfrotto es sin duda un líder en trípodes y soportes para cámaras. Esa es la razón por la que elegí este producto, ya que quería que mi pesada Light+Dome se mantuviera estable sin accidentes. ¡Totalmente recomendado!

The Manfrotto Light Stand – a true game-changer in the world of lighting equipment. This stand has proven itself to be incredibly handy, and the reliability of its air cushioning system has given me peace of mind during my shoots.But what sets this light stand apart is its ingenious design for transport. The ability to collapse it completely flat and seamlessly latch it onto other units of itself is a stroke of brilliance. This feature has made transporting my equipment a breeze – no more awkwardly fitting stands into tight spaces or dealing with multiple separate components.When it comes to value for money, the Manfrotto Light Stand takes the crown. Its convenience, durability, and thoughtful design have raised the bar for what a light stand can offer. As someone who has worked with various light stands, I can confidently say that this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. It's not just a purchase – it's an investment in convenience, efficiency, and peace of mind.

Another well-made, quality product from Manfrotto. This stand was exactly what I needed. It features a 3-part extension. Could conceivably go up to 4 metres in height, but that would require a couple of sand bags to be the counterweight.

I’ve gone through dozens of cheap light stands. They always end up failing me. I finally decided to spend the money on these and couldn’t be happier. Very compact and the ability to connect them together for transport is amazing. They are very sturdy and well built. As a professional photographer, they are used daily and worth the money

I'm using several of these as tall mic stands. A two buck adapter lets me attach standard mic holders on the top. The stands are quiet (no obnoxious acoustic resonances in the tubes) and secure. The knobs that lock the uprights into place are solid and easy to handle. The profile is thin and unobtrusive, especially with the knobs facing away from the audience, and the black matte finish helps them disappear from view. I really like the way they connect to each other when folded up for compact storage and to make it easier to carry them in and out of an event. I use weight bags on these when I have my expensive vacuum tube mics above head height. Also, you should note that the legs have to be most of the way out before the bottom of the center column raises off the floor. When the legs are folded up they are shorter than the center column (which is part of the storage mechanism), so you need to pull them out quite a ways to make the stand stable. Don't plan to use these if you can only extend the legs out 18 inches or less.

Die Lichtstative der Manfrotto Babylight-Serie sind leichte Stative mit hoher Stabilität und Traglasten zwischen vier und zehn Kilogramm. Je nach Modell lassen sie sich zwischen 75cm und 366cm ausfahren.Das hier angebotene Stativ ist das 1004BAC und damit das größte der Serie. Mit einem (leichten) Gewicht von etwa 2,5Kg kann das Stativ auf über 3,6m Höhe ausgefahren werden und bleibt dabei noch relativ standfest. Die maximale Zuladung beträgt laut Hersteller 9kg, was für die meisten Lampen oder anderes Equipment ausreichen dürfte. Die minimale Höhe beträgt 124cm, was für manche Einsatzzwecke schon zu hoch ist. Andere Stative der Serie haben hier eine niedrigere Höhe. Für noch tiefere Positionen kommt dann ohnehin ein Bodenstativ zum Einsatz.Das Stativ ist sehr gut verarbeitet, hat keine wackeligen Bauteile aus Plastik, sondern stabiles Aluminium. Am Ende ist ein fest verbauter 3/8 Zapfen, mit einem Adapter auf 1/4 . Die Verschlüsse sind hochwertig gefertigt und die Luftfederung schütz vor einem starken Aufprall.Eine Funktion, die ich lieben gelernt habe, ist das einfache ineinander stecken der Stative. Durch eine Einrastfunktion lassen sich beliebig viele Stative (auch Kombinationen mit andere Varianten der Serie sind möglich) zusammenklippen. Für den Transport und die platzsparende Lagerung ist das sehr angenehm. Bis zu vier Stative haben in einer separat erhältlichen Tasche Platz. Ein Transport ohne Tasche funktioniert aber genauso gut.Ich habe mittlerweile mehrere Stative dieser Serie für die Filmausleuchtung und für ein Hintergrundsystem und noch keines hat Ermüdungserscheinungen. Ich nutze für eine verbesserte Stabilität und als Schutz vor einem Umwerfen zusätzlich Sandsäcke, die am Stativ eingehängt werden können.Preis/Leistung ist bei diesen Stativen top. Man bekommt – wie von Manfrotto gewohnt – eine gute Qualität und ist auch Jahre später noch zufrieden damit.

Received today in the usual Amazon abused box packaging, but something like this should survive this treatment and this did.I'm very glad I heeded the advice given in the reviews concerning wiggly jiggly lighter weight stands, including a $50 Manfrotto model, and purchased this one instead. Life's too short to put expensive lighting gear atop jiggly wiggly things.Are there sturdier light stands? Of course. This one, however, gives one confidence something really dramatic must happen before your light tips over.The pin atop the stand is crimped in place. I don't think this matters to anyone, but I've read a few comments here and there that this pin is removable. It isn't on my example. My studio flash sits atop this stand just fine and secures well.The pin comes with a, seemingly well made, 3/8" to 1/4" reducer just the right size to lose instantly unless you find a way to manage little gadgets in your work flow. My very first task for this stand is to hold a speedlight with one of those shoe mounts that accepts 1/4" so this is a welcome feature.A good stand for a good price.

Love these light stands! I use these for on-location shoots. I like them so much that I got rid of all my other stands (except the heavy duty C-stands for the studio) and bought a bunch of these. I love that they stack together and my assistant can carry a brick of several of them easily, even without a light stand bag. They also don't get beat up in transport nearly as much when they are stacked vs. tumbling around loose. They are also air cushioned, so my light heads don't get damaged as easily if my assistant lets them slip while adjusting the height. They are very sturdy and extend to 12 feet. Also like that they come with the little screw off threaded tip so you can attach items with either the larger or smaller fittings. The only issue I have is that sometimes the little plastic hooks that hold them together when they are stacked together can break if you're rough with them and I've been waiting for replacement parts from Manfroto for literally over three months now. That's probably because its a new product and shouldn't be an issue in the future. I just bought a couple more of these stands, so I can definitely say I'd recommend them.
