FAQs

What is the maximum weight this pole can support?

The product description does not specify a maximum weight capacity. It is designed for backdrops and light modifiers. For heavy items, please consult Manfrotto's official specifications or contact their support.

Does this pole come with stands?

No, this is a telescopic pole only. Compatible stands are sold separately.

What is the minimum length of the pole?

The minimum length of the pole is 1.12 meters.

What is the maximum length the pole can extend to?

How many sections does the pole have?

Can this pole be used outdoors?

Yes, it can be used outdoors, but caution should be exercised in windy conditions. Ensure it is securely anchored to prevent accidents.

Troubleshooting

Pole sections are difficult to extend or retract.

Ensure the locking collars are fully loosened before extending or retracting. Check for any debris or damage within the sections.

Pole feels unstable at maximum extension.

Confirm that the pole is securely mounted to stable stands. Use sandbags or weights on the base of the stands for added stability. Avoid using in excessively windy conditions without proper anchoring.

Locking collars do not hold the section firmly.

Clean the interior of the locking collars and the surface of the pole sections they grip. If the issue persists, contact customer support as the locking mechanism may need adjustment or replacement.
