Manfrotto Steel Short Wind Up Stand 087NWSH: Heavy-Duty Support for Demanding Productions
The Manfrotto Steel Short Wind Up Stand 087NWSH is an essential and robust piece of equipment for any professional studio or on-location production requiring unwavering support for heavy lighting fixtures and grip gear. Engineered with durability and safety in mind, this “wind-up” stand offers superior stability and precise height adjustment, making it ideal for large lights, heavy modifiers, or complex rigging setups.
Unmatched Strength and Stability
Constructed from high-quality chrome-plated steel, the 087NWSH is built to withstand the rigors of professional use. Its heavy-duty design provides exceptional stability, even when extended to its maximum height or when supporting substantial loads. This stand instills confidence, knowing your valuable equipment is securely supported, preventing wobbles or accidental falls.
Precision Wind-Up Mechanism for Safe Adjustment
The defining feature of the 087NWSH is its integrated wind-up mechanism. This geared system allows for smooth, precise, and safe raising and lowering of heavy loads with minimal effort. Unlike friction-based stands, the wind-up crank provides a controlled ascent and descent, significantly reducing the risk of equipment slippage or sudden drops. This is especially crucial when working with expensive lighting fixtures or when fine-tuning light placement.
Versatile Height Range for Diverse Applications
While categorized as “short,” the 087NWSH offers a practical and versatile height range suitable for many production scenarios. It provides ample elevation for key lights, backlights, or for positioning modifiers to achieve desired angles and light spreads. Its sturdy construction ensures stability across its entire extension.
Double Braced Legs with Leveling Foot
The stand features robust, double-braced legs that provide a wide and stable footprint. One of the legs is typically adjustable or includes a leveling foot, allowing you to compensate for uneven terrain. This ensures that the stand remains perfectly plumb and stable, whether you’re working on a flat studio floor or a challenging outdoor location.
Universal Mount for Broad Compatibility
The top of the stand is equipped with a universal mounting pin, commonly a 1 1/8″ (28mm) junior receiver and often a retractable 5/8″ (16mm) baby pin. This industry-standard combination ensures compatibility with a vast array of lighting fixtures, grip heads, booms, and other accessories, making it a versatile hub for your lighting setup.
Built for Professional Demands
The Manfrotto 087NWSH is designed for continuous, professional use. Its chrome-plated finish not only adds to its robust appearance but also provides excellent resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan even in demanding environments. This stand is a long-term investment that professionals rely on for critical shoots.
