What is the attachment size for these wheels?

These caster wheels feature a 19mm hole attachment type.

Are these wheels suitable for outdoor use?

These wheels are best suited for smooth indoor surfaces. Outdoor use on rough terrain is not recommended and may reduce their effectiveness and lifespan.

Can I use these wheels on any brand of tripod?

How do I lock the wheels in place?

Each wheel typically has a lever or mechanism to lock it in place, preventing any movement of the equipment.

Will these wheels add significant height to my stand?

The wheels will add a small amount of height to the base of your stand, generally a few centimeters.

Troubleshooting

Wheels do not attach securely.

Ensure the hole on your stand is precisely 19mm and clear of debris. Verify you are using the correct Manfrotto model for your stand's leg diameter.

Wheels are difficult to roll.

Check for any obstructions or debris caught in the wheel assembly. Clean the wheels thoroughly as per the care instructions.

Locking mechanism is stiff or not engaging.

Inspect the lock for dirt or damage. Gently clean the mechanism and ensure it moves freely. If damaged, replacement parts may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves the ability to reposition stands and equipment quickly.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity and reliability in professional environments.
  • Secure locking mechanism provides stability when the equipment is in place.
  • Easy to attach and detach, saving time during setup and tear-down.

Cons

  • Compatibility is limited to Manfrotto equipment with a 19mm hole attachment.
  • May not be suitable for very heavy loads or uneven, rough terrain.
  • Requires a set of three, which might be more than needed for some users.
  • Can add a slight amount of height to the equipment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To attach the caster wheels, align the stem with the 19mm hole at the base of your compatible Manfrotto stand or equipment. Push firmly until the wheel is securely seated. Ensure the locking mechanism is disengaged before attempting to roll the equipment.

Compatibility: These caster wheels are designed for Manfrotto stands and equipment featuring a 19mm hole attachment. Always verify the diameter of the attachment point on your equipment before purchasing. They are generally compatible with many Manfrotto light stands and tripods that have this specific measurement.

Care: Periodically check the wheels for dirt or debris that might impede smooth rolling. Clean the wheels with a damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals. Ensure the locking mechanism remains functional and free of obstructions. Store the wheels in a clean, dry place when not in use.
