Manfrotto Master Stand Reviews

Easy to use and fold flat

By David

I use these stands to hold backdrops but also for Profoto B1's and B10 plus. They fold fast set up easy and are stable. Use with a sand bag or baby boa.

Sturdy and lightweight

Size and weight aren't noticeable when it comes to storage or handling. Really simple to prop up and tighten. Great feel and quality I'd reccommend for any experience level.
