Review Summary
2019-11-05T10:51:30
I really love these, they pack down nicely. They are much more compact than loose stands. These are the smaller version, I also have the larger version. These are suited for small strobes and speed lights but the base is compact making it unsteady for heavy lights or with a larger umbrella. The large stands are better for that. The only downside for me is that the air cushioning can make it difficult to open the stand, it gets a little stuck. I haven't run into the problem yet with these but my large set are tough to pull open.

The stands are great for use up to about 8.5 pounds. I like the air-cushioned feature that gently lowers once the lock is released...especially if equipment is attached. I mostly use for speedlights with umbrellas or softboxes. Small monolights may be okay, but mine is over 7 lbs. and once a softbox or other modifier is added this stand is not secure enough for that weight. Very clever 'Quick Stack System" which saves space and makes them easy to transport. There is a small Quick Stack bag from Manfrotto that can hold 4 of these stands which is worth the investment.

The stands are well made and very compact, however they do not hold up to 8lbs securely and I had to return this item. I placed the Orlit battery head on the stand and it was very unsafe and bowing. I would only use these stands if you used a very small non battery powered head, or a speedlight. At most I would place 5lbs on these stands.

It's the Manfrotto 1051BAC 5/8" "Baby" Male Spigot Lightweight Stand, a remarkable innovation in the realm of lighting support equipment. Crafted with a focus on lightweight design and compact dimensions, this stand is an essential tool for photographers and videographers seeking reliable, portable lighting support.
This stand boasts a patented Quick Stack System (QSS), a unique feature that allows multiple stands to be connected together. This ingenious design not only saves valuable studio space but also facilitates easier transportation, especially for outdoor shoots.
Constructed from durable, air-cushioned aluminum, the stand extends up to 83 inches and is divided into four sections with three risers. This provides a versatile range of height options to suit various shooting scenarios. The stand's black finish adds a professional touch to its aesthetic, making it a stylish addition to any photography kit.
Despite its compact size, the Manfrotto 1051BAC stand is robust enough to support a variety of lighting equipment. It's ideal for use with small strobes, speed lights, and lightweight monolights. However, it's important to note that the stand's compact base may not provide adequate stability for heavier lights or larger umbrellas.
In summary, the Manfrotto 1051BAC 5/8" "Baby" Male Spigot Lightweight Stand is a testament to Manfrotto's commitment to innovative, practical, and high-quality lighting support solutions. Its compact, lightweight design, combined with the unique Quick Stack System, makes it a valuable asset for any professional or amateur photographer or videographer.
