What strap is recommended to use to clip into the loops on the stand to make for easier carrying?
Asked by: Matthew
Generally if carrying a set of 3 of these stands, using a bag is better. One such bag is the Manfrotto LBAG110 Quick Stack Light Stand Bag, (Large), B&H # MALBAG110. https://bhpho.to/2YltfEr

this stand will hold Fotodiox Prizmo 150RGB led light, which weight is 10.18kg without v mount battery?
Asked by: Hayk
Unfortunately, the Manfrotto 1004BAC is only rated to hold up to 19.8 lbs and the FotodioX Pro FACTOR Prizmo 150 RGB+W Multi Color LED Light weighs 22.3 lbs. A better stand for your needs is the Avenger Combo Steel Stand 35 with Leveling Leg (Chrome-plated, 11.5'), B&H # AVA1035CS. https://bhpho.to/2WP3ryz

question

Does B&H have the adaptor for Manfrotto Alu stands to be used with American threaded microphone clips? I have seen these used many times with microphones or stereo bars attached to them. Would like to be able to use them with microphones and stereo pair for recording orchestras.
Asked by: RB
I know that this response is a year after the original question was posted, but I thought I would Because my use will be strictly audio (raising a stereo bar as well) I was prepared with the appropriate adaptor - the 3/16 photo thread to 5/8 -27 standard microphone stand/clip adaptor supplied with every AKG, Sennheiser, Sony, Nuemann microphone I have ever owned. Needless to say, being an audio pack-rat, I had several in my spare parts tool-box; when my 1004 arrived, I was ready with an adaptor! Stereo bar here we come - works like it was made for microphones!
