Product Information

Full details

The Manfrotto 131TC Table Attached Tripod C Post is designed for photographers and videographers needing flexible camera positioning from a tabletop surface. Its key benefit is providing stable, adjustable height support for cameras, ranging from a low 5cm up to 66cm. A key consideration is that this product requires a separate ball or pan-tilt head for operation, as it is not included.

FAQs

Do I need to buy a tripod head separately?

Yes, the Manfrotto 131TC requires a separate ball head or pan-tilt head, which is not included with this product. It features a 3/8 inch screw for attachment.

What is the maximum table thickness this can clamp onto?

The clamp is designed to fit tables or surfaces with a thickness ranging from 18mm to a maximum of 38mm.

What is the minimum and maximum height the camera can be positioned at?

The camera can be positioned at heights ranging from a minimum of 5cm up to a maximum of 66cm from the surface it is clamped to.

What material is the 131TC made from?

The Manfrotto 131TC is constructed from durable aluminium.

Can this be used outdoors?

While it can be clamped onto outdoor tables, it is primarily designed for stable indoor environments due to its table-attachment nature.

How do I clean the Manfrotto 131TC?

Clean the aluminium body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Ensure the clamp mechanism is clear of debris.

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not grip securely

Ensure the table edge is within the 18-38mm range and free of obstructions. Tighten the clamp mechanism as much as possible. Check for debris in the clamp's threads.

Geared column is stiff or difficult to move

Check the column for any visible obstructions. Ensure no external pressure is being applied while adjusting. Clean the geared mechanism with a dry cloth. If stiffness persists, consult the manufacturer's support.

Camera is wobbly after mounting

Verify that the tripod head is securely attached to the 3/8 inch screw. Ensure the head itself is locked firmly onto the camera. Check that the clamp on the table is fully tightened and the surface is stable.
