Manfrotto Nano Plus Stand Overview

Manfrotto offers this heavy-duty, five-section version of their popular Nano stand. The robust 5002BL Nano Plus Stand rises to a maximum height of 6.5' and has an individually adjustable leg for use on uneven surfaces.
Strongest Nano Stand Ever
Impressive Load Capacity
With an impressive maximum payload of 8.8 lb, the Nano Plus can comfortably support the latest portable professional lighting equipment, including flash or LED, without compromise, even when paired with a modifier, allowing users to focus on their creativity. The compact folded length of just 20.5" makes the Nano Plus stand suitable for most carry-on luggage or ideal for those with very limited carrying space. It even slides neatly into the tripod pouch on the side of most camera bags or backpacks.
Multiple Connection Options
This versatile light stand features multiple attachment options, including a stainless steel 5/8" spigot with a 3/8"-16 screw, plus a removable 1/4"-20 thread adapter allowing secure attachment of a wide range of lighting tools.

Manfrotto Nano Plus Stand Reviews

Broke before first use.

I purchased two of these. In the transport to my wedding, the plastic knobs fell off preventing me from being able to lock the height and legs in place. It’s a shame I am past the return window because these were quite expensive to have broken faster than cheap stands I had purchased on Amazon.

Great Addition for Traveling

I had the original Nano stand and while it was useful I always felt uncomfortable putting a strobe atop it in public locations. The Nano Plus is nearly as compact and easy to pack as the original, but feels much more stable with a Profoto B10 Plus and MagMod dome mounted. I would definitely recommend this if you travel for professional photography.

Asked by: Heidi
This is a lightweight, portable stand. Should work fine with the Profoto B10.

How stable would this be to use with a Godox AD600Pro and a 2 lbs softbox?
Asked by: Daniel
The Godox AD600Pro Witstro All-In-One Outdoor Flash weighs 6.6 lbs, so the combined weight of the light fixture and a 2 lbs softbox would be 8.6 lbs. The Manfrotto 5002BL Nano Plus Stand (6.5') has a maximum load capacity of 8.8 lbs. The AD600 and a 2 lbs softbox would work on this light stand, while it is near the listed maximum load capacity. However, as I recommend with all light stands, I would also recommend using sandbags on the base of the light stand for additional ballast and security, such as a couple of Impact Filled Saddle Sandbags (15 lb, Orange), B&H # IMSBFO15.

I do not see the "MAX STABILITY" indicator on the column as referenced in the instructions. Where is it?
Asked by: Kevin
I will recommend not more than 9'' above ground for maximum stability if you won't be attaching a sandbag on the Manfrotto 5002BL Nano Plus Stand (6.5').
