Another product innovation from Manfrotto Lighting Support.
Their lightweight and compact-size make them a practical tool for your lighting support needs.

The lightweight stand range consists of 7, 8, 9 and 12' stands which can be purchased as singles or in 3 packs! With a patented Quick Stack System (QSS) portability is the key feature! Connecting the stands together saves a lot of room while storing them in the studio. A more compact case can be used when shooting outdoors because of this unique design.

Material alternatives are crucial to provide high performance and light weight. Adaptor is the new material specifically developed by Manfrotto for both collars and spider castings of the 1051BAC MINI COMPACT STAND and the 1052BAC COMPACT STAND. Adaptor is a special technical polymer that is comparable to aluminum in strength, but is 50% lighter. Adaptor is an ideal material for photo imaging equipment as it has superb resistance to extreme temperatures and will not corrode or oxidize. Additionally, Adaptor is an excellent vibration absorption material, making our equipment the ultimate in vibration free shots. New Adaptor collars are made from a single locking component, ensuring better performance and easier maintenance.

 * STACKING SYSTEM LEG LOCK A stronger and more ergonomic handle makes it easier/assists to secure stands into the operating position.

      LOCKING DEVICE
    * Just a click away from your baby! Push on the new locking device and detach one stand, for quick usage

      ATTACHMENT
    * A 3/8'' screw top female to 1/4" adapter male (015), allows you to connect additional accessories.

      RISER LOCK HANDLE
    * A new bi-injection casting provides the photographer with a better grip.

      QUALITY AND RELIABILITY TESTS
    * All the structural components that are crucial for the safety or have to support high stress are engineered using the FEM analysis. The FEM (Finite Element Method) permits simulation of external forces in different applications to calculate the resulting stress on the component. Using this tool Manfrotto can optimize the design of the product obtaining the highest performance and the lowest weight.

The patented Quick Stack System (QSS) connects the stands together to save room while storing them. The QSS makes the stands extremely portable allowing for multiple stands to be carried at once in a compact case to easily bring them with you for outdoor shooting.
