Product Information

Full details

The Manfrotto 007BUAC is a heavy-duty, air-cushioned lighting stand designed for professional photographers and videographers who need a stable and reliable support for their equipment. Its primary benefit is its robust construction and air cushioning system, which protects gear from accidental drops, capable of supporting up to 12kg. A potential caveat is its weight, which makes it less portable for on-the-go shoots. This stand offers adjustable height up to 3.15m across three sections and two risers, featuring a leveling leg for superior stability on uneven surfaces.

What is the maximum height of the Manfrotto 007BUAC?

The maximum height is 315cm (3.15 meters).

What is the weight capacity of this stand?

The stand has a maximum weight capacity of 12kg.

How does the air-cushioning work?

When you loosen a locking collar, the air-cushioning mechanism ensures that the riser section descends slowly and smoothly, protecting your equipment from sudden impacts.

What material is the stand made of?

The stand is constructed from aluminum.

What is the weight of the stand itself?

The Manfrotto 007BUAC weighs 3kg.

Does it come with a mounting adapter?

The stand typically features a standard mounting stud. Specific adapters may need to be purchased separately depending on your equipment.

Can I use this stand outdoors?

Yes, the leveling leg helps with stability on uneven ground. However, always use caution in windy conditions due to its height and weight capacity.

Troubleshooting

Stand feels wobbly or unstable.

Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked. Engage the leveling leg to compensate for uneven floor surfaces. Verify that the equipment's weight is centered over the stand's base.

Riser sections are difficult to extend or retract.

Check for any obstructions within the sections. Ensure the locking collars are fully loosened before adjustment. Clean the inside of the risers with a dry cloth if dust or debris is suspected.

Air-cushioning system seems to drop too fast.

The air-cushioning is designed to prevent sudden, jarring drops, not to hold the weight completely. Ensure the locking collars are adequately loosened. If the drop is still excessively fast or uncontrolled, inspect the mechanism for damage or obstruction.

Top stud is loose or damaged.

Inspect the stud for damage. If loose, it may require professional tightening or replacement, depending on the design. Ensure you are using appropriate adapters if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and stable construction for secure equipment support.
  • Air-cushioned system adds a layer of protection for valuable gear.
  • High weight capacity suitable for heavier professional equipment.
  • Significant height adjustment range for versatile positioning.
  • Leveling leg enhances stability on various surfaces.

Cons

  • Relatively heavy (3kg), which may impact portability for some users.
  • Primarily designed for studio or controlled environments due to its weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Extend the legs to create a stable base.
  2. Utilize the leveling leg to adjust for uneven surfaces by extending or retracting it as needed.
  3. Release the locking collars on the risers to extend the stand to the desired height, ensuring each section is securely locked before mounting equipment.
  4. Attach your lighting or camera equipment to the top stud (typically a 5/8" or 3/8" thread).

Compatibility:

This stand is compatible with most professional lighting equipment, stands, and camera accessories that utilize standard mounting threads (e.g., 5/8" baby pin or 3/8" threaded stud). Always ensure the total weight of your mounted equipment does not exceed the 12kg maximum capacity.

Care:

  • Wipe down the stand with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove dust.
  • For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Periodically check all locking collars and legs for wear and tear. Ensure smooth operation of the air-cushioning system by not forcing any adjustments.
