Product Information
Full details
The Manfrotto 032BASEB is an aluminum tripod base designed for photographers and videographers who need to securely mount Manfrotto Autopoles in various locations, especially where ceiling mounting isn't feasible or for extended height setups. Its primary benefit is providing a stable, wide platform for Autopoles, preventing accidental tipping. A key consideration is that it only supports the base of the Autopole and does not include the Autopole itself. Key features include its durable aluminum construction, a substantial 1.3-meter footprint, and a secure design for Autopole tubes.

How should I clean the Manfrotto 032BASEB?
Clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Autopole feels unstable on the base
Ensure all three legs of the 032BASEB are fully extended and locked in place, and that the floor surface is even. Check that the Autopole is correctly and securely seated within the base receptacle.
Base is difficult to unfold
Check for any debris or obstructions around the leg joints. Gently try to maneuver the legs; do not force them.
Base does not fit the Autopole
Verify that your Autopole has a 45 mm top tube diameter, as this is the specified compatibility for the 032BASEB. Ensure you are using a compatible Manfrotto Autopole.
