Manfrotto 008BU 7-Foot Black Cine Stand

Manfrotto 008BU 7-Foot Black Cine Stand | 008BU

A seven-foot black Cine stand that picks up where lesser tripods give out.

The Manfrotto 008BU is engineered for the studio, but it?s tough enough to follow you on location. It?s built around that familiar Manfrotto reliability you?ve already used, so you know the leg locks and spreaders will work precisely when you need them. This isn?t just a rig for holding a light; it’s the piece you trust to keep your modifier safe overhead, session after session.

• Designed for grip heads and speed rings. The top of this Cine stand accepts standard male studs and baby pins, so you can mount just about any grip gear you already own without additional adapters for a simple, direct fit.
• Seven feet of controlled reach. At full extension you have the height to position fixtures well above talent or props, cutting down on shadows and giving your lighting a cleaner falloff across the set.
• Black powder coat cuts reflection. The all-black finish reduces stray light bounce back into your shot, which is a quiet but significant advantage when you?re working in tight spaces or with fast glass.
• Solid build without the extra weight. It packs down to a manageable size for carrying between rooms or loading into a car, yet it remains steady enough for compact fresnels, LED panels, and softboxes up to a reasonable load.

If you already own C-stands or combo stands from Manfrotto, this 008BU fits right into your workflow. It?s a practical height for overhead backlights, hair lights, or flags, and it simply does its job without fuss.
