Super useful for my tabletop photo studio, both as a moveable stand for each of several iPhone-size LED panel lights and as a counterbalance for the rear leg of each of several Neewer mini tripods each holding an iPad-size LED panel light.

I am using this as a very small weight on the end of a counterweight shaft for a telescope mount. The clamp allows this to grip the smooth counterweight shaft and provide a very small additional weight as needed.

Does this open wide enough to be used with a 50mm truss?
Asked by: Michael
The Manfrotto 022 Counter Balance Weight - 15 lbs, B&H # MA022, can clamp onto a pole with a diameter between 0.86 inches to 1.4 inches (22mm to 35mm). It would not open large enough to work with a truss with a 50mm diameter.

Asked by: gavriel
Yes, but you would have to take it off when folding the stand. I suggest to attache it to the center pole as low as possible for best result.
