Product Information
Full details
The Avenger Roller Stand 42 by Manfrotto is designed for professionals needing a stable and mobile support for lighting and grip equipment. Its key benefit is the combination of robust steel construction, a low base for enhanced stability, and built-in wheels for effortless repositioning, supporting up to 40kg. A potential consideration is its steel construction, which adds to its durability but also its weight.

This model typically features locking mechanisms on the wheel hubs to keep the stand stationary when needed.

Specific weight information is not provided in the product description, but its steel construction suggests it will be substantial.
Can I attach standard grip accessories to it?
Yes, it is designed to accept standard grip equipment via its spigot or mounting points.
Troubleshooting
Stand is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all leg locks are fully engaged. Check that the base is on a level surface. Confirm the payload does not exceed the 40kg limit and is properly balanced.
Wheels are stiff or not rolling smoothly.
Inspect the wheels for debris, dirt, or obstructions. Clean them with a damp cloth. If the issue persists, check for any damage to the wheel housing or bearings.
Risers are difficult to extend or collapse.
Ensure the locking collars for each riser are fully loosened. Check for any dirt or grime interfering with the telescoping action. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary, ensuring it doesn't attract dust.
Stand does not reach maximum height.
Verify that all riser locking collars are fully loosened. Check for any obstructions or damage within the telescoping sections that might prevent full extension.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional stability due to the low base design.
- Durable construction with steel legs and column.
- Excellent height range for diverse applications.
- Integrated wheels facilitate easy mobility.
- High payload capacity supports heavier equipment.
Cons
- Steel construction makes it heavier to transport compared to aluminum stands.
- The low base, while stable, might limit leg positioning in very tight spaces.
- Requires a solid, level surface for optimal stability from the wheels.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unpack the stand and extend the legs by unfolding them from the central column. Ensure the legs are fully locked into place. To raise the height, unlock the risers sequentially and extend the telescoping sections. The built-in wheels allow for easy rolling; locking mechanisms are typically found on the wheel hubs for stationary use.
Compatibility: This stand is designed to accept standard grip equipment via its spigot or mounting points. Ensure any accessories (e.g., lighting heads, modifiers, cameras) do not exceed the 40kg payload limit.
Care: Regularly check that all locking mechanisms and wheels are clean and functioning correctly. Wipe down the steel and aluminum components with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Inspect for any signs of damage before each use, especially after transport. Store in a dry place to prevent rust on the steel parts.
