Product Information

Full details

The Manfrotto VR Aluminium Base is designed for photographers and videographers using VR boom stands who need a stable, free-standing base. Its key benefit is providing reliable stabilization for setups up to 4.7 meters high. A potential caveat is its 4 kg maximum weight capacity, which requires careful consideration with heavier equipment. This compact and lightweight base offers two leg angles for leveling on uneven terrain and rubber feet for enhanced grip on slippery surfaces, making it a portable and adaptable solution for elevated VR shooting.

What type of cameras is this base suitable for?

It is suitable for digital and film cameras, particularly when used in conjunction with VR boom stands for 360° photography and videography. Ensure the total weight does not exceed 4 kg.

How do I ensure the base is stable on different surfaces?

The base has two leg angles to help level it on uneven surfaces. Additionally, rubber feet provide grip on slippery floors.

What is the weight of the Manfrotto VR Aluminium Base?

The base weighs 600 grams.

What is the folded length of the base?

The folded length of the base is 30 cm.

Can I use this base with any tripod or monopod?

The base features a 3/8" mounting thread, making it compatible with accessories that have a matching female thread, such as Manfrotto VR boom stands. Compatibility with other general tripod/monopod heads may vary.

What is the operating temperature range?

The base can operate in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C.

Troubleshooting

Base feels unstable on uneven ground.

Utilize the two adjustable leg angles to level the base and maximize its footprint. Ensure all legs are firmly planted.

Base slides on smooth floors.

Confirm that the rubber feet are clean and making full contact with the surface. If feet are worn, consider replacement parts if available.

Equipment exceeds weight capacity.

Do not exceed the 4 kg maximum weight capacity. Redistribute weight or use a different support system if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Adaptable to various terrains with adjustable leg angles for leveling.
Secure footing on smooth surfaces thanks to rubberized feet.
Durable construction suitable for professional use.
Easy to attach to VR boom stands via the standard 3/8" mount.

Cons

Maximum weight capacity of 4 kg limits the type of equipment that can be safely mounted.
Single leg section means less flexibility in leg height adjustment compared to multi-section tripods.
Ideal for VR booms, but may require adapters for other non-VR specific accessories.
Operating temperature range of -30 to 60°C, while wide, might be a consideration in extreme environments.
