Can this hold a 21" LED flapjack light (about 7-8lbs), say mounted as overhead/straight-down for table shooting? (via SuperClamp attached to table, then Avenger grip-head to angle this pole 45º, then LED light pointed down towards table) Also, same question, but for mounting a Sony A7iii camera/lens setup (about 1400gram or 3lbs setup) for overhead/straight-down shooting on table?(via SuperClamp attached to table, then Avenger grip-head to angle this pole 45º, then small ballhead, then camera/lens setup pointed down towards table)

The manufacturer does not give a load rating. I own one of these and would not put that much weight at an angle with it.

I have Impact LS-3S, and in 4 months, the rivet holding the 5/8" stud to the pole at the base is now loose. Mounting a light will cause it to lean to one side making the background light less round. Does the Manfrotto 122B use a rivet to secure the 5/8" studs to the pole?
Asked by: Victor
Manfrotto uses a pinch system while impact uses a reinforced rivet system. both intend to give out over time and under very heavy usage.

question

I'm looking at the Manfrotto 122B Adjustable Pole for Backlight Stand - 21 to 33.5 (53-85cm)Can you tell me more about the treading on the top end. Looks like 1/4 inch. Is that correct? Also the bottom end looks like a stud, if so, please tell me the size of the stud and the thread size of any threads on the bottom stud.Thank you,Ernie Winn
Asked by: Anonymous
Sorry I don't know the sizes of threads but I do know this is a great stand -- it comes in handy so many times for not only a backlight but when photographing still life and need the light to be low.
