Product Information
Full details
The Manfrotto 087NWB is a heavy-duty studio lighting support system designed for professional photographers and videographers who need to mount heavy lighting equipment safely and precisely. Featuring a geared column and a robust wind-up mechanism, it provides an exceptional level of control for elevation, though its 21.4kg weight makes it better suited for static studio environments rather than frequent travel.

Stand feels unstable
Adjust the leveling leg until all three feet are making solid contact with the floor surface and ensure the legs are fully extended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the stand, loosen the leg locking knobs and spread the base to your desired width, ensuring the leveling leg is adjusted so all feet are firmly on the ground. Use the hand crank to extend the columns; never force the crank if it meets resistance. The stand features a 1/4" mounting point, which may require an adapter for standard studio spigot equipment. For care, keep the geared column tracks clean and free of debris to ensure smooth movement. It is recommended to periodically wipe down the steel frame with a dry cloth and store the stand in a dry environment to maintain the finish and structural integrity.
