Tripod Manfrotto Master Stand 1004BAC

It extends to a maximum height of 3.66 m, supports up to 9 kg and features a compact, black finish while weighing approximately 3 kg for easier transport.

Advantages

Aluminium construction offers a balance of strength and reduced weight. The four-section legs and three risers deliver a wide height range and stable support for lights, reflectors or medium-weight camera gear.

How to use

Usage recommendations

Use the stand within its 9 kg load limit and ensure even weight distribution. Avoid sudden impacts or over-torquing of clamps. For outdoor use, secure the base against wind or use sandbags. Regularly inspect joints and the air-cushion mechanism for wear and perform maintenance according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
