Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the stands and ensure all sections are free from packing material.
- Extend the legs by unfolding them until they form a stable base. The 70cm footprint provides stability.
- Pull up the telescopic sections of the stand, engaging the locking mechanisms for each riser. The 4-section design allows for fine-tuning height.
- Attach your lighting equipment to the universal top stud. The stand features a standard mounting point compatible with most lighting fixtures.
Compatibility:
The Manfrotto 1051BAC stands are compatible with a wide range of lighting equipment that features a standard 5/8" receiver or a compatible mounting thread. This includes most flashes, strobes, LED panels, and other accessories with a standard mounting point.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the stands with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the aluminum finish.
- Storage: Store the stands in a dry environment. Ensure all sections are fully collapsed before storing to prevent damage.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the locking mechanisms for smooth operation. If any section feels stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied sparingly to the sliding parts.
