Manfrotto MS0490C Carbon Fiber Nanopole Stand | 6.5'
Manfrotto has advanced the capabilities of their well-known Nano stand with the launch of the 5-section MS0490C Carbon Fiber Nanopole Stand. This stand reaches a maximum height of 6.5 feet and has a minimum working height of 19.7 inches, featuring a stable footprint of 39.4 inches. It is capable of supporting equipment weighing up to 3.3 pounds at its maximum height, utilizing its 5/8-inch stud with both 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threads. The stand's reverse-folding leg design enables it to collapse to a compact length of just 20 inches, and with a weight of only 1.65 pounds, it is sure to be a preferred choice for nature and location photographers, as well as backpackers and campers.
These remarkable specifications may suffice for the majority of stands; however, they fall short for the MS0490C. This stand features a leveling leg that enables adjustments to balance the weight on uneven terrains like hills or curbs, or to be discreetly placed beneath furniture. Additionally, it boasts a detachable center column that can function as a 5-section boom, allowing for the overhead support of a light or microphone.
- The Carbon Nanopole Stand is Manfrotto's lightest Nano Stand ever, tailored to photographers, videographers, and content creators looking for ways to downsize their gear and travel lighter.
- Lighting equipment is getting lighter and so are lighting supports.
- Weighing in at only 1.65 lb thanks to its lightweight aluminum base and carbon fiber column, the Carbon Nanopole Stand is the ideal support for small lighting equipment up to 3.3 lb, such as speedlights and LED lights.
- The compact folded length of just 20" makes the Carbon Nanopole Stand suitable for carry-on luggage or ideal for those with very limited carrying space. It even slides neatly into the tripod pouch on the side of most camera bags or backpacks.
- The Carbon Nanopole features a useful leveling leg, allowing the user to maintain a stable vertical lighting support even in challenging environments such as uneven ground.
- This versatile light stand features multiple attachment options including a stainless steel 5/8" spigot with a 3/8"-16 thread, plus a removable 1/4"-20 thread adapter allowing for secure attachment of a wide range of lighting tools.
- The removable carbon fiber center column features quick release twist locks, and it can be used as a handheld boom to position lights or even a microphone exactly where they are needed.
