Product Information
Full details
The Manfrotto 099B is an essential accessory for professional photographers and videographers who need to extend the reach of their existing lighting stands without investing in taller, heavier equipment. By attaching directly to a standard spigot, this three-section pole provides a versatile height increase of up to 2.35 meters. While it offers excellent portability at only 600g, users should be mindful that extending the height may shift the center of gravity, requiring careful counterbalancing to maintain stability.

Pros and Cons

- Highly portable and lightweight design
- Sturdy aluminium construction for professional durability
- Smooth three-section adjustment mechanism

Cons
- Height extension can affect the overall balance of the stand

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the 099B, simply mount the base of the pole onto the spigot of your primary lighting stand and secure it with the locking knob. Once stable, unlock the collar to extend the inner sections to your desired height and twist-lock them firmly into place.
Compatibility: This unit is compatible with most standard light stands featuring a traditional spigot mount. Always verify that your light stand base is wide enough to support the added height to prevent tipping.
Care: To keep the extension functioning smoothly, wipe down the aluminium sections with a dry cloth after use to remove dust and debris. Do not use lubricants on the locking collars, as this can cause them to slip. Store the pole in a cool, dry place to maintain the finish.
