Manfrotto Alu Mini Compact Reviews

Stand

By Jordan
Rated 4 out of 5

It’s a solid stand that fits in a carry on. I would highly recommend a sand bag. With the stand being small it doesn’t have a huge footprint and when you stem it up all the way it can get wobbly.

Can this or similar stand be adapted for a mirrorles camera? Regular monopods with feet are not stable they sway. Ive tried several.
Asked by: ry
Yes, this stand can be adapted to a camera mount but I would not recommend it. It will not be stable and if you do not attach a head to it, you will have no way of panning and tilting the camera.

How wide is the stand when it is collapsed/ flattened? How deep?
Asked by: Elan
It is about 4x1.5 when collapsed. We have a set of 3 that we travel with and they clip together and easily fit in a regular sized suitcase.

question

Can a short Manfrotto BAC stand, like this one (the Manfrotto 1051BAC) stack with a taller BAC stand, such as the 1004BAC, using the Quick Stack System?
Asked by: Yi Fan C.
No, the legs are not as tall so it won't hook in.
