Questions & Answers

MICHAEL K : would the stand work with a reticulated arm like the 244?MICHAEL D : Hi Michael. Yes this will work with the Manfrotto 244 as the Backlight Stand has a 5/8" socket and the Manfrotto 244 has a 5/8" spigot/stud. I would recommend using a sandbag to secure the base.
LAWRENCE B : Is there a diagram showing it in operation? How is it used?ROY C : This stand is used for side lighting and background lighting in our studio. Both require the lights to be very low to the floor and this stand allows us to position them correctly.

Exactly what it needs to be

Perfect and as expected from Manfrotto. Strong and will hold a strobe and smaller modifier with ease. Can be low or pretty high, actually, so has a very long range. Great addition to studio setup.
